What This Move Does

It's the classic peak-time lift — two steps up the wheel reads as a clear, felt jump in energy. Use it sparingly at the moments that matter; chain two boosts back-to-back and the set starts to feel like it's sprinting.

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 — 5A and 7A sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.

The wheel below is set to 5A — 7A is one of its highlighted safe moves. Tap any key to explore from there.

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: 5A → 7A is the named move. Coming back from 7A, you'd usually reach for one of 7A's own five moves instead of retracing this jump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix 5A into 7A?

Yes — 5A (C minor) into 7A (D minor) is the +2 energy boost, and the SetFlow engine scores it 75/100: energy change. Anything scoring 60 or above is a safe harmonic mix.

What does 5A to 7A do to the energy of a set?

It's the classic peak-time lift — two steps up the wheel reads as a clear, felt jump in energy. Use it sparingly at the moments that matter; chain two boosts back-to-back and the set starts to feel like it's sprinting.

Does 7A back into 5A work too?

The reverse isn't one of the named safe moves out of 7A — it still scores 75/100 harmonically, but from 7A you'd usually reach for its own five moves instead. See the full list on the 7A key page.
