Up to this point, a brief overview of music has been provided involving the equal heptatonic. However, just as selecting a pentatonic can define the general feel of a song, you can also select an unequal heptatonic, allowing you an additional dimension of control over the overall feel of the song. The use of unequal heptatonics, and the practices derived from such usage, are called intonationality. | Up to this point, a brief overview of music has been provided involving the equal heptatonic.

There are six simple unequal heptatonics, each of which have seven rotations; all six have their own corresponding number of substeps per octave in order to create them. | There are six simple unequal heptatonics, each of which have seven rotations; all six have their own corresponding number of substeps per octave in order to create them - these six heptatonics are constructed such that each single interval in the equal heptatonic becomes at most two in each of the unequal heptatonics. | ||
