    The scales available with the Diatonic and Quadravox algorithms in the most recent Pitchfactor software include the following:

    [MAJ] – Major
    [min] – Minor
    [DOR] – Dorian
    [PHRG] – Phrygian
    [LYD] – Lydian
    [MLYD] – Mixolydian
    [LOC] – Locrian
    [Hmin] – Harmonic Minor
    [Mmin] – Melodic Minor
    [Wton] – Whole Tone
    [ENIG] – Enigmatic
    [NPLT] – Neopolitan
    [HUNG] – Hungarian

    No idea if there are plans to add more or not.

    By the way, can anybody recommend some reading material (preferably a book) on the historical use and development of scales? I wasn't aware of the Wendy Carlos or Pythagorean scale before and they're absolutely fascinating. I'd love to read how ideas for scales and modes developed over time.
