I have 1 quick question: when I select “All scales”, why isn’t natural minor / Aeolian listed? There’s harmonic minor and melodic minor and some other variants, but no natural minor.
For that matter, why are Phrygian modes missing, too? Minor pentatonic is also not there, but major pentatonic is. What is the logic behind the list of modes?
Hi @marekjedlinski This one confuses quite a few people - it even got me in development too!
Aeolian is a Mode of the Major Scale as is Phrygian. If you click the Major tab in ‘All Scales’ you will see all the modes listed in Section B.
To help here, we always list Major and Minor at the top of the scale list prior to activating All Scales. Hope that helps clarify.
why develop it this way? Just makes it more annoying to find the most common scales when browsing through moods. Even in your screenshot, the minor scale is 6 down, and when you have section B collapsed you cant even see it. I think if you guys keep it this way, its a big mistake from a usability perspective.
Welcome to the forum @verytguy We try and keep things nice around here and ask users to read the info rather than create too many posts.
If you click a note in All Scales, Major and Minor are at the top. In my example above it’s the Major modes that are listed of which Minor is the 6th mode of the Major Scale.
We aim to keep things musically correct so as you invest Scaler rewards you by teaching you music theory. Everything you see there is musically correct and there are so many ways to find the minor scale easily.
I’m not sure how I was being rude, just giving my opinion, but thats fine.
Thanks for the information.
