Scale Pattern Playback (Ascending, Descending, In Thirds, etc.)

Login to vote

Hey GTDB team,

First of all, huge thanks for all the work you've put into this site, it's honestly been one of the most useful tools for exploring tunings and theory in a hands-on way. I especially love the visual layout of scales and how cleanly everything is organized.

That said, I had an idea I wanted to share:
Would it be possible to add scale pattern playback options to the scales section?

Right now, we can hear the scale notes one after another, which is great. But it would be amazing to have the ability to hear the scale played in different musical patterns for example:

-- Ascending
-- Descending
-- In thirds (e.g. C–E, D–F, etc.)
-- In fourths or fifths
-- Maybe even some common modal runs or pentatonic shapes?

This would really help with ear training, improvisation ideas, and internalizing different interval relationships in a given tuning. I imagine just a little dropdown or buttons under the scale to choose the playback pattern, or a new section altogether.

Thanks again for the incredible site, it keeps getting better!
