You have no idea what you're talking about. The chromatic scale IS NOT THE UNIVERSAL SALE USED AROUND THE WORLD - it was decided that it would be THE PRIMARY SCALE FOR WESTERN CULTURES AND MUSIC.
Listen to traditional Japanese music compared to European and American classical - the tones are completely because they use different instruments to achieve their sounds.
OP IGNORE THIS GUY
LOL
You are refuting things that I never said or implied. Of course 12 TET isn't the only way to divide the octave, but you act like there isn't a tone corresponding to every frequency out there. The problem isn't so much that what you think you know is wrong, you are just explaining it in a way that is completely off base.
You know something, but you don't know the difference between scales and modes, or between scales and tones.
To say that the (e.g.) Dorian mode (say, of F) can "reach" frequencies that the regular Eb major scale can't "reach" is ludicrous. They're the same [set of] notes.
At this point I would adjust my original warning:
OP, don't ignore this guy, but rather use him as an example of how a little knowledge in the wrong hands can be destructive.
Scales and modes are the same thing. Tones are reached by using different scales and tunings. Tune your instrument a a quarter step down and you'll achieve different tones on when playing the same notes. This is music theory 101.
Tones are reached by using different scales
False.
and tunings
True.
