Download: Bass Guitar scale and mode creator

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

Download: Bass Guitar scale and mode creator

Unread post by i like tictacs » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:41 am

Here is a program that I wrote that will help with figuring out and constructing modes for the bass guitar. You can select any note of the 12 from a dropdown box to act as the root and then select a mode. The program will then display the selected mode starting from your selected root. So if I chose C Dorian the program would display:

C, D, D#, F, G, A, A#, C

If I chose F Lydian, we'd get

F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F

and so on and so forth.
