C♯ Messiaen's Mode #6
C♯ · D♯ · E♯ · F♯ · F♯♯ · G♯♯ · A♯♯ · B♯
The sixth of Messiaen's modes of limited transposition, C♯ Messiaen's Mode #6 is an eight-note symmetrical set repeating at the tritone, built from whole steps and semitones in a fixed pattern. Like the rest of the family, it was conceived as a source of harmonic colour. Composition material rather than a scale to solo with.
