Scale: C dorian b2
Description: The second mode of melodic minor (also called Dorian ♭2 or Phrygian ♮6), with degrees 1, ♭2, ♭3, 4, 5, 6, ♭7. It combines the darker flavour of Phrygian's flat 2 with Dorian's natural 6, and is used over minor chords with an exotic edge or in modal compositions looking for non-diatonic colour.
Notes (pitch classes): C, C#, D#, F, G, A, A#
