Six-note or hexatonic scales are a really interesting area because they're less complex than our normal 7-note ones, but they're not quite as smooth as pentatonics either. They're a compromise, with just enough flavor to sound interesting but not so much that they overwhelm you. They range from commonly-used tools to exotic sounds, plus thanks to a quirk of mathematics, we can procedurally generate them by smashing different chords together!

The Secret Of Six-Note Scales

Six-note or hexatonic sales are a really interesting area because they're less complex than our normal 7-note ones, but they're not quite as smooth as pentatonics either. They're a compromise, with just enough flavor to sound interesting but not so much that they overwhelm you. They range from commonly-used tools to exotic sounds, plus thanks to a quirk of mathematics, we can procedurally generate them by smashing different chords together!
