=Easy Scales by Interpolating between Harmonic Series= A very easy way to construct a scale that's instantly recognizable, even without repeated listening/priming in the absence of listening the music in 12EDO, is to interpolate between harmonic series. Some of the most prominent scales in existence can be very quickly derived from harmonic series. Take, for example, the diatonic major scale in 12EDO, where notes are approximately equal to || C || D || E || F || G || A || B || || 1/1 || 9/8 or 10/9 || 5/4 || 4/3 || 3/2 || 5/3 or 27/16 || 15/8 ||
