The Mel Scale

Sheila uploaded the Handbook for Acoustic Ecology for me, so I was able to read about (among other things) the Mel Scale.

Mel Scale - Descending

Instead of being derived from a mathematical series of "steps," the Mel Scale is psychological and perceptual. It is based on steps that SOUND like they are equally spaced, even if they aren't.

I really like the way it sounds. It's kind of playful, and reminds me of the music in the old SNES game Bubsy and other games from the same time period.
