A Gypsy Minor — Mono Synth

The A Gypsy Minor lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.

A Gypsy Minor carries 7 notes per octave (world family), drawn here straight onto the Mono Synth's keys with every root pinned — no tablature in between, the keyboard is the map.

Harmonic minor with a raised 4th — two wide, yearning steps (b3 to #4, b6 to 7) give it a smoldering, theatrical intensity. Dark, exotic, and full of drama.

Heard in: Hungarian and Romani folk, Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies, gypsy jazz, klezmer, and neoclassical metal.

A scale is the one thing a mono synth never has to compromise: one voice is exactly what a line needs, and glide between adjacent keys is the idiom's signature.
