This page is a gallery of interesting arithmetic pitch sequence (APS) scales.

This gallery can never realistically be complete as there are so many possible such scales, so feel free to add to it.

For a shorter, more strictly curated list of only the most widely used or most mathematically important APS scales, see Equal-step tuning#List of notable APS.

Terms

These pages will help you understand terms used in this gallery:
