Pure Major & Pure Minor
The just intonation is any musical tuning in which is based on the stack of intervals called perfect fifth and major third of overtone series. And the major scale which consisted of just intonations especially for this triad chords: Root, Third, Fifth are sounded extremely harmony. The just intonation must be the most natural temperament.
Pythagorean
The Pythagorean System, the oldest tuning system to be theorized in the world, also called Circle-of-fifths System. This system was first devised by the Pythagorean, hence people named it by his name. The Pythagorean System comes from Circle-of-fifths System, which applies this principle: The pitches of three times of subdominant and the twice times of supertonic are equal, to create a series of perfect fifths, and then find the equal scale notes put them into a single octave. The 3rd and 6th in this tuning are dissonance, but the 4th and 5th are sound very harmony.
Meantone
The Meantone System is a musical temperament which is close to just intonation. Used to tuning pipe organ in 16th century Europe. These musical scales which based on the Pythagorean System, minus quarter of common comma for once, are extremely approaching just intonation. So, use this system to create musical scales are sound beautiful and pure, just like a perfect triad chord.
Werckmeister
The Werkmeister was named after Andreas Werckmeister, and this scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale. This tuning collapse comma maxima, created by Pythagorean, into four perfect fifths, the rest fifths still remain their Pythagorean scale characteristics. Werkmeister Tuning can tune scale from harmonic to melodic by increasing tone number, makes each tonality sound distinct (this is the important gist for classicists and romanticism tonality music to name as the tone name)
Arabic
The Arabic tunings are specified to easily playing Arabic music.
