New scale
You want to create a new scale! That's exciting!
To create a new scale, we'll need to define its characteristics. Let's start with the basics:
- Number of notes: How many notes do you want your scale to have? Typically, scales have 5, 6, 7, 8, or 12 notes.
- Interval pattern: What pattern of whole and half steps do you want to use to construct your scale? For example, the major scale follows a pattern of W-W-H-W-W-W-H (whole-whole-half-whole-whole-whole-half).
- Tonal center: What note do you want to be the "home base" of your scale? This will help determine the overall sound and feel of your scale.
Let's create a new scale together! What do you think about the following options:
- A 7-note scale with a mix of whole and half steps?
- A 12-note scale with a repeating pattern of whole and half steps?
- A scale with a unique interval pattern, like a combination of whole, half, and quarter steps?
