A heptatonic scale, occasionally called a septatonic scale is a scale with 7 tones per period.

Heptatonic MOS scales may be found at: Heptatonic MOS.

Other heptatonic scales may be found at: Category:7-tone scales.

Equiheptatonic scales are scales with 7 roughly equally spaced tones per octave, common in some musical traditions. The exactly equal form of the equiheptatonic scale is 7edo.

7 equal frequency divisions instead of pitch gives the heptatonic overtone scale, the first mode of 7afdo.
