E Chromatic
E · F · F♯ · G · G♯ · A · B♭ · B · C · C♯ · D · D♯
All twelve notes, each a semitone apart — E Chromatic isn't a key so much as the complete set of available pitches. Nobody improvises in it directly; its value is as a source of passing notes and chromatic approach tones that connect the notes of whatever scale you're actually playing. Used sparingly, it's what makes lines sound fluid.
