Db Minor Scale — Free MIDI Download

The Db Minor scale (also called the natural minor or Aeolian mode) contains the notes Db, Eb, E, Gb, Ab, A, B. This page presets the scale tool to Db Minor — download it as a MIDI file played ascending and descending, or enable diatonic chords to include the triad built on every scale degree.

How it works

Choose a root note and a scale, and this tool builds a MIDI file containing the scale played ascending and descending in quarter notes. Enable diatonic chords to also include the triad built on every degree of the scale — a quick way to hear which chords belong to a key. Press play preview to hear the exact notes before downloading. This page arrives preset to Db Minor, so the preview and the download both start on Db4 and climb through the scale from there.

What can you do with a scale MIDI file?

• Drag it into your DAW as a reference lane while writing melodies.
• Learn unfamiliar scales — modes, pentatonics, harmonic minor — by seeing them on a piano roll.
• Feed it to arpeggiators or samplers that expect incoming MIDI.

A Db Minor reference lane earns its keep fast: with Db, Eb, E, Gb, Ab, A, B laid out on the piano roll, one glance tells you whether a note in your melody belongs to the scale or is a deliberate colour tone.
