	Gamelan pelog scale of Central Java
		A consequence of the mechanism of pitch extraction in the auditory midbrain is a high sensitivity for low-order frequency ratios in musical tone intervals, in particular for the ratios 4:3, 5:4, and 6:5.

	Pelog Temor, Tembang Khas Madura - Jumat, 21 Juni 2002
		"Pelog temor itu tembang atau lagu-lagu yang syairnya berbahasa Madura, yang diiringi musik gamelan," kata Legoh Suprapto (40), pimpinan komunitas pelog temor Legoh Laras menjelaskan.
		"Uniknya, pelog temor ini menggunakan seperangkat gamelan laras slendro, tetapi lagunya pelog.
		Ketika Kompas meminta dia mengalunkan sebuah tembang bersyair dari kesenian pelog temor, spontan meluncur lagu bernuansa khas etnik Madura: meleh surat ke Kota Malang, meleh minyak dumpahe jelen, mun riwayat je'e paelang, lamun engak sumpah nabelu.

	Pelog
		Pelog is one of the two essential scales of Gamelan music native to Bali and Java, in Indonesia.
		This is at the very extreme of the range of intervals that can be perceived as a fourth, and rapid beating between the upper harmonics (actually inharmonic overtones in the case of the metallophones which form the bulk of the gamelan orchestra) contributes to the unique shimmering sound of the gamelan.
		The seven tones of the pelog scale, in circle-of-fourths order, are called "barang", "dada", "nem", "gulu", "lima", "bem", and "pelog" (the latter note bears the same name as the scale as a whole).

	Pelog
		Pelog is one of the two essential scales of Gamelan music native to Bali and Java, in Indonesia.
		The Pelog scale can be constructed in the same way as the Western diatonic scale, as a chain of perfect fourths, except with very wide, out-of-tune fourths, between 515 and 535 cents.

		Moreover, a complete understanding of the pelog scale cannot result merely from an accurate physical characterization; perhaps even more important is an understanding of the function of this scale in the music, and in the culture in which the music is performed.

	Superpelog tuning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Pelog is an irregular 7-note scale used in the music of Indonesia.
		But since there's no one standard for pelog tunings, these numbers can be varied as desired to create a variety of pelog-like scales.
		While neither version of the scale is a very close approximation to any actual pelog, this one seems to sound closer to authentic scales than the pelogic one.

		Though the full pelog scale has seven tones, usually only a five-tone subset is used (see the similar Western concept of mode).
		For example, Gamelan gong kebyar instruments have no keys for barang or dada, because gong kebyar music is always played in the pelog selisir subset (tones 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6; heard in the audio example above).

	Gamelan Nyai Saraswati
		Perhaps this melody reflects Javanese interpretations of the sounds of the Thai court piphat ensemble that accompanied the Siamese King on his tour.
		Commonly used for both dance and concert music, this piece begins with a playful melody that may reflect the title which refers to the movement of a kapok seed as it gets caught in the eddies and swirls of a river current.
		The first section of this piece is popular in Central Java and can be played in three different modes, both scales, and occasionally with a different name.

	Pelog Partita by Bill Alves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Pelog Partita naturally enough, was conceived as a counterpart to Slendro Suite, as pelog and slendro are the two classes of tuning systems found in the traditional music of Java.
		While slendro features five pitches distributed roughly equally within the octave, pelog has seven separated by clearly unequal step sizes.
		This gives pelog a very different character, and more possibilities.

		This system reverses the axes of pitch and time as used in the western classical system: pitch is shown on the horizontal axis (vertical lines spaced from left to right; pitches are on lines only, there are no "spaces" as in western notation) and time is shown by progress from top to bottom.
		For slendro there are six vertical lines, one for each pitch plus pitch one in the upper octave; for pelog there are seven, one for each tone (no upper octave).
		Numerals 1-7 represent respective pelog tones; 1 2 3 5 6 represent slendro pitches (cf.

	NOTATION FOR GAMELAN BALI (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Although pelog is a seven key scale, selisir deletes 4 and 7 and uses only a pentatonic scale (1, 2, 3, 5, and 6).
		Unlike Javanese pelog, the 4 and 7 keys are not on the instruments; thus, unlike Javanese pelog, one cannot play different tunings (pathets) on the same instrument.
		The purpose of the deletion seems to be to allow the instrument to be played faster since the keys are closer together.

		Gamelan was first established at Victoria University by ethnomusicologist Allan Thomas in the early 1970s, centred around a small set of gamelan Cirebon (pelog).
		Subsequently the pelog half of a large Central Javanese gamelan was presented on quasi-permanent loan to the University by the Indonesian Embassy in Wellington.
		In 1993 we commissioned a set of slendro instruments and some additional pelog saron, so that we now have a fairly full complement of instruments.

		There are two basic scales, the 'slendro' and the 'pelog'.
		I've been interested in music from other cultures for a long time, so slendro and pelog were in my head (and you'll find the Balinese scale I mentioned on p.71 of my book).
		Yeah, yours is a 'Javanese' scale - compare yours to the pelog I showed, and you have 4 where I have #4.
