![]() ![]() ![]() Say we want to write a track in E Minor (although you can choose any key). We will go through each of the keys you’re most likely to use for writing EDM, but first I want to take you through how to use them. How to quickly write music in key using your DAW: Your DAW will only display the black notes with a ”#” symbol, and never with a ”♭” symbol, because a) your DAW doesn’t know which key you’re writing in and b) the “#” symbol is native to software, whereas “♭” is not. Here is a diagram to show you what I mean: if you see a C# written, it means play the black note directly above C, and if you see an E♭ written it means play the black note directly below E). You don’t need to worry about that too much… Just remember that when you see a sharp symbol (“#”), it means to play one half-step ABOVE the written note, and a flat symbol (“♭”), one half-step BELOW (e.g. In your DAW’s piano roll editor (and on a piano) you’ll see there are white notes and black notes, which are referred to as either “flats” or “sharps” (depending on what key you’re in). Sharps, flats, white notes and black notes: Just count the intervals using the configurations above! So you can see from the examples above, working out the notes in any key is easy. ![]() As you can see, they both have the same configuration of intervals between each note, too (but different from major keys) (Root Note –> 2 –> 1 –> 2 –> 2 –> 1 –> 2 –> 2): You’ll see they both have the same configuration of intervals between each note (Root Note –> 2 –> 2 –> 1 –> 2 –> 2 –> 2 –> 1):Īnd below are images of the keys of D Minor and F Minor. So, for instance, the images below are of the keys of C Major and A Major.
