The melodic minor is the famous example, but\u003cbr\u003ethe same is true of Japanese koto scales, Maqam Hijaz Kar,\u003cbr\u003eflamenco's Spanish Phrygian, and Verdi's enigmatic scale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEleven scales in this pack are DIRECTION-AWARE: when a melody\u003cbr\u003eor arpeggio climbs, it uses the scale's ascending form; when it\u003cbr\u003efalls, it uses the descending form. Your DAW has never done\u003cbr\u003ethis. Almost no MIDI pack ever has.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA few examples:\u003cbr\u003e  - Melodic Minor rises with a raised 6th and 7th and falls\u003cbr\u003e    back into natural minor -- exactly as classical practice\u003cbr\u003e    prescribes.\u003cbr\u003e  - The Spanish scale rises with a bright major third and falls\u003cbr\u003e    with a dark minor third: the flamenco \"mixed thirds\" that\u003cbr\u003e    mirror the Andalusian cadence.\u003cbr\u003e  - In Sen, Hirajoshi and Iwato follow the ascending and\u003cbr\u003e    descending forms documented in Uehara Rokushiro's 1895\u003cbr\u003e    study of Japanese melody -- including his rule that the two\u003cbr\u003e    alternate tones never sound back to back.\u003cbr\u003e  - Arabic Maqam (Hijaz Kar) lowers its 7th on the way down,\u003cbr\u003e    as maqam performance practice expects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhere the research said \"this tradition's directionality is\u003cbr\u003eabout phrasing or ornament, not different notes\" (blues,\u003cbr\u003eharmonic minor, Hungarian minor, and others), we did NOT force\u003cbr\u003eit -- those scales stay honest.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e2.
