D Chromatic Scale (All notes)

The D Chromatic Scale does not have a Major or minor quality because all the notes are an equidistant one semitone apart. As a result there are no distinct intervalic differences, regardless of key, and so the D Chromatic Scale is considered atonal or, lacking a tonal center. The D Chromatic Scale contains all twelve available notes within an octave, D, D, E, E, F, G, G, A, A, B, B, C.
