The Modary's Spectrums

Since each of the spectrums consist of two dimensions, each of them containing forms that infinitley recycle every 12 intervals, it is possible to fully represent each spectrum within a concise 12 x 12 grid.

The modes are named simply by spectrum and color and these names are abbreviated in a uniform fashion, such that the labeling system can be helpful during exploration of musical harmony. Spectrums that are geometrically opposite of one another are given opposing names, and spectrums that are independently balanced are also given descriptive names. Of the 17 Spectrums, four are not present in this article at this time.

The Modes of the Main Spectrum are well known by their traditional names; they are also given a systematic label and corresponding abbreviation in this system.

The Modes of the Sub Spectrum coincide with the Melodic Minor Scale.

The Bicluster Spectrum is one of the Spectrums which especially indicates a reception to multimodalities or 'accidentals'; in contrast to the other lists of this website, the list below shows the major and minor chords harmonizing with extraordinary chromatic notes.

The Modes of the North Spectrum coincide with the Harmonic Minor Scale.

The South Spectrum is the physical oposite of the North Spectrum. It is only a coincidence that the Major Chord and the Minor Chord each find a similar upper-tetrachord during this opposition of spectrums.
