Scale Name Tradition: Carnatic Melakarta
A collection of 72 parent scales in the katapayado system originating in southern India. They keep the Sa and Pa (1st and 5th) fixed, while allowing for two variants of Ma (4th) and three each for the other tones - Ri, Ga, Dha, and Ni (2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th). These scales are also assigned a numeric position in the set.
Hey. These tradition pages are a big mess right now. If you look below you will see lots of chaos and duplication and misspellings. I'm working on a new organization scheme for scale names; when that's ready it will all look way better and everything will be accurate.
TL;DR Please ignore this page. Or, peruse it at your own peril.
