F Ionian — Paraphonic Synth
The F Ionian lit key by key — roots pinned, degrees named, audio ready.
F Ionian 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.
Bright, resolved, and stable. The foundation of Western tonal music and the most common mode in pop, classical, folk, and jazz.
Heard in: Pop, classical, country, folk, gospel — the default major tonality 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.
