Why do new Korg Gadget songs default to Dorian mode?
Wondering why they picked that. Any music theorists here?
Comments
I'll tell you if you give me a general eta on the Samplr update?
I haven't done a study of what's most common, but Dorian is a widely used mode. It's a minor key, but the raised sixth degree of the scale gives you a major chord on the subdominant (4th). This makes for a less somber sounding minor key. A very common repeated chord progression in rock and pop is i-IV (for example in A Dorian: Am / D.) Korg recognizes this, but it's still surprising the default isn't the conventional C major.
let me google that for you, lol

the comment that makes the most sense seams to be, as we talking about music with vocals here, that its about finding what fits the singer but that may or may not be what you want musically...
the whole I can transpose this anywhere approach does not work for me, it totally changes the feeling of things ... eat that, music theory.
ymmv
D dorian 1) uses only the white keys, 2) has all the minor pentatonic (blues scale) notes, and 3) no really wrong notes when soloing with it. Win - win - win.
Aren't 2 and 3 kind of the same?
I have no clue about blues but
Nothing pentatonic ever sounds wrong, the cat can walk across the triggers and it will sound musical, it's like only playing black keys ...
No, the pentatonic scale has five notes (penta-) while the Dorian mode has seven notes.
D pentatonic - D, F. G, A, C.
D Dorian - D, E, F, G, A, B, C
Add a G# "Blue Note" for extra fun.
I know what a pentatonic is.
I think any scale with any rootkey does nr.3 - can't hit a "wrong" note.
No matter if it's Dorian, pentatonic, mixolydian or hirajoshi (to look at more exotic things hirajoshi is Pentatonics in Japanese tuning )
You are looking at the details (the individual notes of the scale in rootkey), I am looking at the overall thing.
In ikaossilator, if you choose a pentatonic scale, the chorded instruments still play the full chords of its parent diatonic scale, while the leads and everything play only pentatonic, makes it real easy to sound awesome. I think Korg really knows what they're doing in terms of music theory.
Another example in Gadget, when you decrease the number of notes in a scale, it doesn't change by sequential scale degrees, but by thirds. So even if you have three notes chosen, they will sound nice. And five would be the pentatonic scale of whatever mode you're in.
I wish you could set it to chromatic. That's all I use, and I forget half the time and have to go back and change it.
uh, thats clever.
then you don't have to think about how to harmonise things
in fact you don't need to think at all you can just mess around
I'm lost on theory. I do know that there is a scale in Seline Redux called Airy and I can play anything on that and I sound wonderful....well to myself anyway
