Veṅkaṭamakhi(n)
An early 17th-century South Indian music theorist. Dates of birth and death unknown. In 1620, he wrote Chaturdaṇḍī Prakāśikā, in which he attempted to classify raga (tone series). Breaking away from the conventional idea of ​​dividing an octave into 22 śruti (microtones), he divided an octave into 12 tones, and established 72 basic ragas, or meḷakarta, by combining seven of these tones. He assigned many ragas other than the basic ragas to each meḷakarta as derived ragas.
