The group of notes used in gamelan music is called a "slendro" or "pelog" scale, depending on the specific tuning system. Slendro typically consists of five equidistant tones, while pelog usually has seven tones, with specific intervals that differ from Western scales. These scales create the unique and intricate sound characteristic of gamelan ensembles, commonly found in Indonesia.
