D Mixolydian Bebop — 4-Voice Polysynth

D Mixolydian Bebop carries 8 notes per octave (bebop family), drawn here straight onto the 4-Voice Polysynth's keys with every root pinned — no tablature in between, the keyboard is the map.

Mixolydian with a passing major 7th between the b7 and the octave — the bright, bluesy dominant sound with a chromatic slide that keeps every chord tone on a downbeat. Slick, swinging, and quintessentially bebop.

Heard in: Jazz lines over dominant seventh chords, blues changes, and rhythm changes — the workhorse bebop scale.

The 4-Voice Polysynth answers touch, so practice these maps at more than one dynamic — the pattern is the same, but the hand that plays it soft and loud owns it twice.
