C Mixolydian — Paraphonic Synth

The C Mixolydian lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.

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

Major with a flatted 7th (b7) — bright and bluesy. The dominant chord turned into a tonal center with a rock/folk edge.

Heard in: "Sweet Home Chicago", "Norwegian Wood" (Beatles), Celtic and folk music — anywhere a major sound needs a darker, looser edge.

On the Paraphonic Synth each note of a line restarts the shared envelope, so scalar playing stays articulate even though chords blur — a fact worth hearing on the maps below.
