Best Answer

The Diatonic scale (most commonly knows as the Major Scale) has 7 unique pitches. For example: C D E F G A B would be considered the notes of the C Major scale. Although traditionally the C would repeat again on top, it is to a NEW note, but simply the repeating of the first (root) note.

The chromatic scale contains 12 notes, and it is most easily explained as every note on the piano within an Octave.

C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B

The Diminished Scale contains 8 notes Example: C C# D# E F# G A Bb

And the Whole Tone Scale contains 6 notes Example: C D E F# G# A#

Why does there are sharps in every note in pelog?

'Pelog' is a musical scale used in Indonesian music (in Java, Bali, etc). The notes are not like those of the Western standard scale. Not only that, but the octave is not divided up evenly into seven equal parts to represent the seven different notes, but the intervals are uneven. While many Gamelan orchestras (which play this pelog scale) are tuned in a similar way to the tranditional royal gamelans, each village does it slightly differently. When this music is written down, the notes are represented by the numbers 1 to 7 - it is less common to use western musical scores. If this is what you are after, search the internet for Gamelan and Pelog for further details.
