G Locrian — Mono Synth

The G Locrian lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.

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

The most dissonant, unstable mode — the tonic chord is diminished (b5), making a true Locrian tonal center rare. Used for color and passing harmony.

Heard in: Metal riffs, jazz (half-diminished ø7 chords in ii°7 – V – i), horror and tension film scores.

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.
