looking for goofy 12ET scales

[xoxos]

stuf that can be sent over midi eg. "scales" like 'major, minors, natural, pentatonic, classical modes'

this is for presets in algorithmic engine.. seen a shot of a reaktor engine that listed 'mystery, blues 1, blues 2..'

i don't got a blues 2 or a mystery (just the one..)

anyone have any input on goofy boring old 12et modes?

Here's an illustration of Olivier Messiaen's "modes of limited transposition":
