I really hope that I do not make a fool out of myself but I read the scales thread and I think I can help you out. A chromatic hypophrygian scale is probably from Greek scales. I am just learning the system and don't know what the inverted part is yet. Anyway, a mode (or tonoi) from Greek music was a scale that was made up of two genera or tetrachords. These tetrachords put together would form an octave. Now comes the fun part. The genera had three forms, one of which was the chromatic, enharmonic and diatonic are the other two. Anyway, the ascending interval pattern for the chromatic was semitone, semitone, trisemitone which is the pattern presented on the website you linked in your original post (two tetrachords stacked on top of each other).

If anyone can correct what I just said, please do. It would help me get all this stuff correct in my head. I think this subject can be confusing because in the middle ages, what became the western music system was loosely based off of Greek music but they changed things up a little. The Greek music system does not translate all that well into the modern system for many reasons that I don't have time to explain tonight or fully understand yet.

Now I think I would like to drink a bunch on New Glarus beer (the Staghorn Octoberfest is mighty good this year), forget everything I just spewed out, and become a tuba player again.

Actually, the best way to learn the modes is just to play major scales in eighth notes (with a metronome), starting on a higher degree on the scale and ascending up to that degree and come down with it. You will learn your modes before you know the names this way. The band at one of the colleges I attended warmed up this way. If you do this in every key, and you do it on a regular basis at home, you will never forget a scale. Never.

No pictures are needed. And you don't have to write out the scales, either.

A Google search on "hypophrygian" turned up a bunch of results AND a popup ad for "www.soundproofing.org"

Coincidence? No way.

The "C chromatic" scale above is in the chromatic hypo-rephrygerated mode. Just look up "chromatic hypo-rephrygerated scale" on google, it's the 112th result.
