The term mode of the modern western understanding of scales is determined by the starting/ending point of a scale based on a given tonal material.
For example the diatonic material 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 12 14 16 17 ... of 12edo with its 7-tone periodicity (12 equals 0) can be used to build 7 different modes, which are often named as
- Ionian (0...)
- Dorian (2...)
- Phrygian (4...)
- Lydian (5...)
- Mixolydian (7...)
- Aeolian (9...)
- Locrian (11...)
