What is the Chromatic scale?
The chromatic scale contains all twelve notes of Western music, each a half step apart. It is not a key of its own but the raw material every other scale is drawn from, and it is used for passing tones and for technique practice.
D♯ Chromatic is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
