User:BudjarnLambeth/Edo approximations of gamelan scales

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.
