Scales used in Balkan and Mediterranean Music

[Haris773]

Hello Scaler Fam!!

Does anyone know what scales are being used and how they are labeled in Scaler2 for music from the Balkans (Bosnia, Serbia etc.) also Greece?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting
I found this interesting website, if you didn’t know it

Moreover, look at 2 tests of mine

Another Balkan-style: found by accident

I was testing the last release to see if my RAM issue was fixed (and it was ) when I realized that this preset used with a brass is in the Balkan-style again Scaler-State_Balkan 2.xml (5.3 KB) note that I produced it using 3 keys only of the Blues preset in the A section: I am not very sure due to my poor musical knowledge, but I think they are E, F and G I add the Scaler MidiCapture file Scaler MidiCapture Balkan 2.mid (1.6 KB) and the recorded MIDI Balkan 2.mid (138 Bytes)

Scaler is good at Balkan tunes

I was just trying to do a jazzy tune with an old 32Bit sax plugin, when I found that some triplet patterns in Scaler 2 can be useful to compose Balkan-style songs I think that more triplets can be useful for this style here is the pattern xml Balkansax.xml (12.4 KB) let me know what do you think about
