Musical key / Scale

The tonal root and note pattern used to choose a harmony.

What does it mean?

Key selects the tonal root. Major and Minor choose a note pattern around that root. On Interval, Chromatic uses semitone steps instead of a diatonic scale. Choosing a key does not mean every note in a played chord is independently detected.

ExampleChoose D and Major for a single-note lead following D major.
