22edo modes

Revision as of 06:59, 18 April 2023 by BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs) (Added section for non-MOS modes, including Kai's old mode from the archived Wikispaces talk page. Also separated audio examples out from the tables so that the tables were not squished awkwardly, as well as making the spacing between paragraphs consistent throughout the article.)

Some modes available in 22edo. Please add more, discovered or newly-composed! Note also that 22edo can play all 11edo Modes as well...
