- A Comprehensive Guide to the Heptatonic Scale is a reference PDF document which serves as an invaluable tool for musicians of all levels. It contains a list of all 7-note scale possibilities spanning one octave, accompanied by a condensed overview on a single page. It’s an ideal document to print and keep on standby for easy reference during practice and composition sessions.
The Scale Almanac Excel file (also provided as a PDF) contains the full list of all musical scales over the octave starting from C (3-note to 10-note) with a tab for each grouping.

Correction to the video. At 1:26 the third chord should be Em7b9 (not Dm7b9). Thanks to
@trombonemunroe for the heads up!!

Subbed, and your music is wonderful! Checking out the music in your other videos and it's a real treat!!
Thank you so much!! Glad you've found me via the Scale video! ;-)
@@antoinefafard You never know how a connection will be made, right?! All it takes is making a left turn instead of a right turn in one's journey to meet or miss something in life! All the best, sir.
Got some useful pieces of advice! Thank you!
Glad it makes sense!

Indeed it is... quoted at 13:28 of the video, alongside Béla Bartók... ;-)
Yo i was just recearching and making spreadsheets of my own. And you post that? I have already identified 5 classes of heptatonic scales, in my logic. Have to come up with names like "Hyper Melodic". Thanks for all the materials u have given here! Super usefull!
Ha! Thanks for this!! Yeah I think there's a community of folks like us who like to make sense of the possibilities & scale permutations. In my approach, I've first focused on those who don't have three chromatic notes in them. That comes to 42 scales. 14 of those are exactly like the diminished minus one note... So we're left with 28 divided into 4 families. Now... I'm curious: what is your fifth family made of?
@@antoinefafard well 4 heptatonic groups you are talking about in video are there! And they are formed by internal ...W-H... structure (tone - half tone). 3h2h Diatonic, 1h4h Melodic, 2h1h(third)h Harmonic major, 1h2h(third)h harmonic minor Respectively. The other group i called different ways through out trying to make sence of all of that, because coudn`t find much info about it. Fifth class is a hh 5 sctructure and it`s 7 modes, which are mostly like a whole-tone scale adding a new note, the only one that makes sence is (and i guess you missed it because it is indeed kinda chromatic) Melodic Minor flat2 - there are cool inside qwirk about it - it`s modes introduces new notes to the whole tone scale such as if we combine them, we get Melodic Minor flat2 - as i understand the only usefull of it`s kind - symetric with leading tones upwards and downwards - structure hwwwwwh - in wikipedia is labeled as Heptatonia tertia. And the number 42 gives me an idea there may be some new family hiding somewhere....)
@@victork8708 Actually the big total for Heptatonic (within the octave) is 462... Out of that I came to about 100 names I could identify. In strict mathematical terms, you could say that there are 66 families of 7 modes.... But my Guide has resumed everything into what I think is useful.
@@victork8708At 4:30 of the video, you can freeze the image and see the 8 additional families I could find, each with 7 modes... that's the additional 56 to the 42.
@@antoinefafard looks promising) my idea is to look for unique “make-sense” groups. So far those 5 are candidates on roles. I consider Harmonic major and minor it’s own subgroup, together with an “duodistant” group, which form. There are plenty of algebra in the process, plenty of geometry and topology. Music is indeed deeply abstract, and i love your combinatoric approach to it. And yeah. There are just permutations of all the possible. And you gave an answer on my question i had in first place: How many scales there are.) I forgot the name of formula so had to work with my intuition)))
Hello Antoine, Beautiful:❤
Cool !
You appear to have a typo in your video at 1:26 where you state (third row) that Dm7b9 is an E Phrygian scale, which is simply wrong. I believe you meant to say that Em7b9 is an E Phrygian scale; am I correct?
You're absolutely correct... and thanks for the heads-up!! I will add a note in the description and will give you credit for this! ;-)
Please take out the background music. I like music, and my ears are constantly zooming in on your music trying to follow it. Turning it down will not help. Please let your message get through. BW. Kl
I get what you're saying... I might need to post a version without it if it's too distracting!
