How the dorian b2 scale is built:

The dorian b2 scale is built from the degrees 1 b2 b3 4 5 6 b7, which gives the step pattern H-W-W-W-W-H-W (W = whole step, H = half step).

Counting in semitones from the root: 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10. That makes it a 7-note scale.

It is mode 2 of the Melodic Minor Scale, so both scales share the same notes from a different starting point.

It is also known as Phrygian #6.
