Thanks for the response, pianoman216. I think I have a wiki page saved in my favorites that details the pentatonic and its modes. Of course, I am already familiar with the pentatonic but I have not yet really composed any "oriental" music (nothing over about 30 seconds anyway). I am using Quantum Leap Colossus and I am about to purchase either Ethno World 4 or RA so I will have access to the sounds of several instruments. Once again, any help at all is appreciated very much. Thanks, Darren

I would like to resurrect this thread if I may. I would like to get more advice on composing oriental music, especially Chinese music. Scales, common chord progressions, genres, resources, anything you might be able to point me in the right direction on. Thanks, Darren
