musical scale of a MIDI file

[צביקה שמואלי]

Hi

1. Is there a possibility that the Cakewalk program will show me the musical scale of a song written in a MIDI file (notes) ?

2. Is there another way to find the musical scale of an instrumental MIDI piece   (notes )  ?

Thank you

Not directly. 

If you don't know or understand any music theory, then you could load any of the chording and/or melodic instruments in the PRV, locate the most likely root note and then use the snap to scale functions to see which existing notes best fit into the scale limit guides. This is a labor intensive search & destroy regression.

Might be easier to buy and read this book... or purchase a plugin like this and use it instead.

You could try going to https://showscale.com and clicking on the notes of your piece.  It will show possibles scales (keys).

If a song has multiple key changes, there will be multiple scales.

See if the song's actual sheet music is available.
