Here are a few sample scales that you can play, if you have a sound card installed, to get a feel for their differences. Just click on the name of the scale and you will hear a simple octave played up and down. Note that the timbre (instrumental sound) is given by your synthesizer - you may select any sound you wish. The World Music Menu alters the tuning.
