Many many many midi programs of scales for you to freak.

Included:

major, melodic, natural and harmonic minor,
major and minor pentatonic, blues, 8 tone spanish, augmented,
diminished, whole tone and chromatic as well as some klezmer
scales which are Freygish (Ahava raba), Ukrainian Dorian
(Mishebeyrekh),Hashem Molokh and the good ol' harmonic minor again.

These are just midi templates for the mpc to send out midi.

Everyhing's in C so you can easly transpose. 2 octaves where possible
(mel. minor has decending pattern and one of the crazy klezmer scales is written out over 4 bars!)

Any Q's just holler.
These took forever so let me know if they're of use to youz.

Enjoy!

Yo, King Vitamin! That's awesome I'm download those and mess with them, but where can I get a print out of all the scales in steps. Like whole whole half whole whole whole half? I know a lot of them but I'd like to get all the scales known in simple terms like that! Thanks!

lol. same here. im assuming you can load the midi into the mpc and choose an instrument and it'll play the arrangement?

they are programs that will map your mpc's pads to play different scales in the key of C. you can change the key of them all simply by tunning the whole program up or down.

havent tried them yet, but if they work they'll be very usefull to me.

just picked up komplete 3 :P

Yes, that's what you do with these.

A lot of these scales use larger intervals than a whole tone so you usually don't use that formula with anything except major and minor. I suggest just learning the basics of intervalic relation (the space between notes in a scale). There's lots of music thoery resources online you can find, just run a search. These are the most widly used scales so finding info on them will be no prob.

I'm glad these are of use for some cats here.

Peace.
