As far as I know, there's no way to add custom or additional scales like there is with chords. It would be nice to be able to use custom scales.

What scale are you looking for?
When I designed it I assumed scales had 7 notes, so it would need a bit of rework to support things like Blues scale with 6. Also, I'm not exactly sure how the chords would be implemented in all those scales. It'll need to research on my part.

I don't have a specific scale I need, but using unusual or rare scales can be an easy source of inspiration. I don't think it's particularly important, since you can always just remember the scale without Waveform's help. Adding custom scales would be a neat bonus though.

You can also have Hexatonic scales and a few other excotic scales which some people use (not me thought).FigBug wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:23 pm What scale are you looking for?

Hello and welcome to the resurrection of this thread. Now that I have watched the following video I would like to also be able to use the scales based on the modes of the melodic minor scale.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Re-resurrection: I've been using the aeolian dominant (another 7-note scale), and it would be really nice to be able to plug that in somewhere. And at least in 7-note scales, chords should work the same.
Yeah, looking through `tracktion_Musicality.cpp`, I'm not seeing anything that would get in the way as far as chords are concerned. So I think all we would need is a way of writing and retrieving custom scales. And I would assume we could borrow most of that code from the custom chords feature.
There's still the problem of scales with different numbers of notes, but I think that could be a separate pull request if it turns out people are clambering for that later.
