3A → 4B

What This Move Does

It lifts the energy one step and changes the mood in the same move — the most interesting of the safe transitions. Use it when a straight +1 feels too subtle but you want more colour than a boost.

In the booth: Compatible keys — mix during breakdown. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 3A and 4B sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.

The wheel below is set to 3A. The diagonal to 4B sits one step up on the other ring — just outside the four classic highlighted moves, which is what makes it the adventurous option. Tap 4B to see its own safe moves.

Hover or tap any key — the wheel shows the four safe moves out of it. Green is the same key, cyan a ±1 step, violet the major/minor flip, amber a +2 energy lift.

Note the direction: 3A → 4B is the named move. Coming back from 4B, you'd usually reach for one of 4B's own five moves instead of retracing this jump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix 3A into 4B?

Yes — 3A (B♭ minor) into 4B (A♭ major) is the diagonal move — one step up plus a ring flip, and the SetFlow engine scores it 60/100: adventurous. Anything scoring 60 or above is a safe harmonic mix.

What does 3A to 4B do to the energy of a set?

It lifts the energy one step and changes the mood in the same move — the most interesting of the safe transitions. Use it when a straight +1 feels too subtle but you want more colour than a boost.

Does 4B back into 3A work too?

The reverse isn't one of the named safe moves out of 4B — it still scores 60/100 harmonically, but from 4B you'd usually reach for its own five moves instead. See the full list on the 4B key page.
