A Whole Tone — Mono Synth
The A Whole Tone lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.
A Whole Tone carries 6 notes per octave (symmetric family), drawn here straight onto the Mono Synth's keys with every root pinned — no tablature in between, the keyboard is the map.
Weightless and dreamlike — six equal whole steps with no leading tone, so nothing pulls anywhere. Blurry, floating, and faintly unsettling, like a dream sequence.
Heard in: Impressionist piano (Debussy's "Voiles"), Thelonious Monk's runs, dream-sequence film cues, and the augmented and 7#5 chords it fits in jazz.
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.
