Scale (music) identified by using a binary system of twelve zeros or ones to represent each of the twelve notes of a chromatic scale. It is assumed that the scale is tuned using 12-tone equal temperament (so that, for instance, C is the same as D), and that the tonic is in the leftmost position. For example, the binary number 101011010101, equivalent to the decimal number 2773, would represent any major scale (such as C–D–E–F–G–A–B). This system includes scales from 100000000000 (2048) to 111111111111 (4095), providing a total of 2048 possible species, but only 351 unique scales containing from 1 to 12
Synthetic scale By adding a G to the scale, one would end up with the LydianVII, the fourth degree of the Melodic Minor scale. The pitches of synthetic scales may duplicate pre-existing scales, though their derivation is different and their use is often quite different. Synthetic scale In music, a synthetic scale is a scale that derives from a traditional diatonic major scale by altering of one degree by a semitone in either direction. Composer Ferruccio Busoni originally explored these scales in his "A New Esthetic of Music" and their number and variety were later clarified by J. Murray Barbour, who also
