It is possible for a fractal scale to have various modes. However, unlike [[MOS scales]], the modes of a fractal scale are not ordinary [[rotation]]s of a scale. Instead, modes correspond to the rotations of the ratio used to divide the scale. For example, here are the modes of an order-2 logarithmic fractal scale with scale steps divided into 1:2:3: | It is possible for a fractal scale to have various modes. However, unlike [[MOS scales]], the modes of a fractal scale are not ordinary [[rotation]]s of a scale. Instead, modes correspond to the rotations of the ratio used to divide the scale. This results in ''M'' modes for each order-''N'' fractal scale. For example, here are the modes of an order-2 logarithmic fractal scale with scale steps divided into 1:2:3: | ||

Alternatively, it is possible to choose which rotation of the division pattern to use in the next step. This results in ''M''<sup>''N''</sup> modes for an order-''N'' fractal scale, which are as many modes are there are scale steps: | |||
