F Harmonic Minor — Mono Synth

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

Dark and dramatic. The raised 7th pulls hard toward the tonic, and the wide step from the b6 up to it gives the scale an exotic, almost Middle-Eastern tension.

Heard in: Classical minor-key harmony, neoclassical metal (Yngwie Malmsteen), flamenco-tinged rock, klezmer, and Balkan melodies.

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.
