D Aeolian — Paraphonic Synth
The D Aeolian lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.
D Aeolian 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.
The standard natural minor scale — melancholic, introspective, and deeply emotive. The most common minor sound in Western music.
Heard in: Pop, rock, classical, metal — the default minor sound of Western music.
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.
