A list of EDOs up to 60 with approximations of pelog and slendro scales that sound good to my ears. (By Budjarn Lambeth.)

Tested by ear in Scale Workshop using the "jublag", "ugal", and "silver" aperiodic waveforms, and the "percussive (medium)" preset.

The list

21edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 2 3 7 2 7
  • 7-tone pelog: 2 3 4 3 2 4 3


23edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 2 3 8 2 8
  • 7-tone pelog: 2 3 5 3 2 5 3


30edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 3 4 10 3 10
  • 7-tone pelog: 3 4 6 4 3 6 4
  • Slendro: 6 6 6 6 6


35edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 3 5 12 3 12
  • 7-tone pelog: 3 5 7 5 3 8 4
  • Slendro: 7 7 7 7 7


39edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 4 5 13 4 13
  • 7-tone pelog: 4 5 8 5 4 9 4
  • Slendro: 8 8 7 8 8

  • 5-tone pelog: 4 5 14 3 14
  • 7-tone pelog: 4 5 8 6 3 10 4
  • Slendro: 8 8 8 8 8


42edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 4 5 15 3 15
  • 7-tone pelog: 4 5 9 6 3 10 5
  • Slendro: 8 9 8 9 8


44edo (my personal favourite)

  • 5-tone pelog: 4 6 15 4 15
  • 7-tone pelog: 4 6 9 6 4 10 5
  • Slendro: 9 9 8 9 9


54edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 5 7 19 4 19
  • 7-tone pelog: 5 7 11 8 4 13 6
  • Slendro: 11 11 10 11 11


60edo

  • 5-tone pelog: 6 8 20 5 21
  • 7-tone pelog: 6 8 12 8 5 14 7
  • Slendro: 12 12 12 12 12

Extra bonus tunings!

These are much less accurate than the above, but are quite fun to play with.
