* (*) We take these as the default LH Aeolian and RH Mixolydian because they can be dechiralized (see below). The adjectives "brightened" and "darkened" are modifications that flatten the default modes by a comma step; these modes have no dechiralized equivalents.

=== Ambi modes ===

By taking the pitches of both chiralities corresponding to each diatonic mode, we obtain the achiral scale LSCSLMLSLM, where c = L − s, termed ''ambi-diasem'' (after ''ambidextrous''). This is a stretched version of the [[blackdye]] scale with the same step ratio (with the L in the "SLS" of blackdye made smaller). There are 8 ambi modes that result from changing an occurrence of SL and LS in it to SCS (on the same root as the original chiral modes).
