Which chords belong to a selected major or minor key?

Diatonic chords use notes from the chosen scale. Select a tonic and a major, natural-minor, harmonic-minor, or melodic-minor scale to see each degree’s triad and seventh chord. Select a chord to inspect its notes or hear a local synthesizer preview.

What are the limits and details?

The melodic-minor option is the ascending form; choose natural minor for the classical descending form. Chord membership is a music-theory reference, not a rule requiring every song to stay in one key.

Limits: the listed key tonics and four seven-note scale modes. Playback uses equal temperament and a local synthesizer.
