Gallery of combination product sets

This is a gallery of combination product set (CPS) scales, as well as subsets of, mergers of, or modifications of such scales.

There are infinite possible CPS scales, so this list can never be complete.

If you find a CPS scale that you like, please document it here so that people can make music with it.

See also Category:Combination product sets, which may include scales that have yet to be added to this list.

(In brackets beside listed scales are descriptions by wiki contributors of the subjective mood they personally feel when listening to the scale.)
