Just Intonation is an infinite universe. A justly-intoned pentatonic can be very effective in the hands of a sensitive composer, and in this electronic age that same composer on another day can use a scale with hundreds of notes in an octave.
[[Just intonation]] is an infinite universe. A justly-intoned [[pentatonic]] can be very effective in the hands of a sensitive composer, and in this electronic age that same composer on another day can use a [[scale]] with hundreds of notes in an [[octave]].


One approach to making just intonation not only practical but easy is to map an [[Periodic_scale|octave-repeating]] 12-tone JI scale to a standard keyboard. This page collects some of these scales, and a [[Gallery_of_12-tone_Tempered_Scales|companion page]] does the same for tempered scales.
