Major pentatonic (W-W-m3-W-m3). Folk, pop.

Never the answer of DetectMode(float[]) or DetectModeWithRoot(float[], int). Its five notes are contained in the major scale, so the scale is reported as a heptatonic mode that contains it, at confidence 0: Ionian on its own root when the root is hinted or is the most prominent note; which mode and root otherwise is documented on each method.

MinorPentatonic = 18

Minor pentatonic (m3-W-W-m3-W). Rock, blues.

Never the answer of DetectMode(float[]) or DetectModeWithRoot(float[], int). Its five notes are contained in Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian on the same root and in three major keys, so the scale is reported as a heptatonic mode that contains it, at confidence 0: Aeolian on its own root when the root is hinted or is the most prominent note; which mode and root otherwise is documented on each method.
