f-minor scales and arps

quote:
The rhythm section consists mostly of a repeating 1-4-5 (A-D-E) 32nd note sequencing arpeggio, and a bass section of minor whole notes usually drifting through the aeolian scale (though not always). Additional rhythm sections are added and subtracted every 16 measures (sometimes 8, and sometimes 32) to add weight and anticipation to the composition. The bass chord will usually change every 4 measures. A typical trance song has 2-4 bass chords, tops.

just wondering if most producers use the f-minor for arps and leads
there are a lot of articles on this like this one stating that you get a more melodic feel with minor scales especially in f-minor.

I don't get it? why specifically f-minor.

It depends on which key you're in anyways.

Agreed.

I think the f-minor is an example as the minors are more euphoric than the 'happy' majors. But then music is all about snapping the rules anyway, and some of the best songs I have heard have so many key changes and arrangement changes, that they keep the listener interested and allow a musical experience to take place as opposed to staright forward bubble gum tunes.
