		Gamelan degung is tuned to a pentatonic scale, pelog degung, which approximates to the pitches Ab G Eb Db C. Some pieces use the sorog tuning: Ab G F Db C. The tuning is changed by exchanging the appropriate bars or gong chimes on each instrument.

	The Gamelan
		I read that the Gamelan is a Javanese instrument which uses pentatonic and /or heptatonic scales : the so-called 'Saléndro' pentatonic scale (0,240,480,720,960,1200 cents) and/or the 'Pelog' heptatonic scale (0,137,446, 575, 687,820,1098 and 1200 cents).
		I know from theory that, in ring modulation applications, all VCO's initial frequencies should be inharmonically related and spread over different octaves ranges (i.e non-integers frequency values should be used in order to have a rich spectrum of inharmonic partials present in the lower and higher sidebands).
		Also, due to the Gamelan's timbres characteristics, the VCF frequency tracking (1 Volt/Oct input) and resonance (VC of Q factor input) will have to be set differently for each tone in the melody.
