Modes are ancient scales that sonically colour the mind of the listener through subtle shifts in tone colour. The Modal Spectrum Upgrade is a set of 5 forks in a beautiful kelly green bag . These modes present the ancient Greek scales called Dorian, Ionian, Aeolian, Locrian, Phrygian, Lydian, and Mixolydian. These modes are ambient fields of sound containing thousands of changing harmonic colours. Mindfully listening to a mode activates a healing response within yourself based on the healing qualities associated with each mode.

To create a mode begin with the Solar Harmonic Spectrum™ tuning forks. Next, take out a tone and replace it with a modal tone as shown above. For example, to create the Dorian mode take out E and B and replace them with Eb and Bb. To create the Lydian mode take out F and replace it with F#. Always tap the tuning forks with C256.
