| Heptatonic Hexatonic Pentatonic Heptatonic Hexatonic PentatonicSeven traditional Heptatonic Scales or "Modes" (Outer Circle) Removing the one tone that distinguishes each from its neighbor gives: Six Hexatonic Scales - the "Natural Bridges" between the modes (Median Circle) Removing the semitone that distinguishes each Hexatonic scale from its neighbor leaves Five Pentatonic Scales (Inner Circle) n.b. This is not cyclic: Lydian and Locrian are extreme boundaries Dorian is the center.
