Hi everyone,
sorry to re-activate this topic, but I’ve found an error, that should be corrected:
the minor scale is wrong:
SCALE_ENTRY 0, 0, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 9, 9, 11 ; Minor
SCALE_ENTRY 0, 0, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 8, 11 ; Harmonic Minor
As the natural minor is Aeolian, it should be:
{ 0, 0, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 10 } // Minor
{ 0, 0, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 11, 11 } // Harmonic Minor
The minor scale on the pianoworld.com page seems to be wrong :-\
Anyway, while I’m currently working on my harmonizer, here’s an C-equivalent of this table (not exactly, only scales I personally like to use); it’s not yet tested (may be errors, too) and the distribution of the notes is not musically straight (like suggested from widdly) but more equally spreaded, because I want to use it with (guess what? ;D ) sensors…

It will be all finished very soon.
