Triads built on 9/♯11/13 imply extensions over 7th chords (e.g., over C7: E, G, A triads). more

Recognize common USTs (e.g., E over C7 = 13/11/9 color). more

Use triads built on extensions (e.g., over V7 play a bII major triad for b9/11). Creates colorful lines and fast chord recognition. more

Track doubles and harmonies tightly. Pan or blend for width; align timing manually or with subtle delay. more
