This little article was sent in by MIRAJ all the way from Yellowknife,
Northwestern territories, Canada:

Korg Electribes II contains scales that refer to the modern modes of music
in western culture. A 'scale' is a series of musical pitches in a distinct
order. You can change the scales in the electribe 2 menu. The electribes
contain many scales but the first few are named after the modern modes of
music. Each mode refers to a different scale that has characteristic
intervals and chords that give its distinctive sound. You can change the
root to any key. Experimenting with different scales is a great way to
give your music a certain feel. Below are the modes of music listed out and
the emotions they are generally agreed upon that people feel.
