Generation

Modes are scales derived from starting on different degrees of the major scale while maintaining the same notes. Each mode has a unique pattern of whole and half steps that gives it a distinct sound and character. For example, **Dorian starts on the 2nd degree** (D-E-F-G-A-B-C in C major), while **Phrygian starts on the 3rd degree** (E-F-G-A-B-C-D). The key formula for any mode is: take a major scale and start/end on the mode's corresponding scale degree (1=Ionian, 2=Dorian, 3=Phrygian, 4=Lydian, 5=Mixolydian, 6=Aeolian, 7=Locrian).
