6A = G Minor

6A is the Camelot code for G minor. It sits at position 6 on the inner, minor (A) ring; in Traktor's Open Key notation it's 11m. Below: every key that mixes with 6A, the energy moves out of it, and the wheel set to it.

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.

What Keys Mix With 6A?

Every key the SetFlow engine scores as compatible with 6A (G minor), highest first. Anything scoring 60 or above is a safe mix; the verdict column tells you what the move does to the set.

The top-scoring move out of 6A is 5A (C minor) at 90/100. Moving down Camelot wheel — energy drop.

Raising the Energy From 6A

Three moves out of 6A build energy without breaking key compatibility:

  • 6A → 7A (D minor) — One step up the wheel — a near-invisible lift that keeps the set moving forward.
  • 6A → 6B (B♭ major) — The relative major — same notes, brighter mood, no harmonic risk.
  • 6A → 7B (F major) — One step up and a ring flip — a lift and a mood change in a single move.

For a bigger, more noticeable lift at a peak moment, jump +2 to 8A (A minor). Use it sparingly — anything further round the wheel starts to clash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What key is 6A in music?

6A on the Camelot wheel is G minor. The number 6 is its position on the wheel and the letter A means it sits on the inner, minor ring. In Traktor's Open Key notation the same key is written 11m.

What keys mix with 6A?

From 6A (G minor) the safe moves are: staying in 6A, stepping to 5A (C minor) or 7A (D minor), flipping to 6B (B♭ major, the relative major), and jumping to 8A (A minor) for an energy lift. Anything further round the wheel risks an audible clash.

What is the energy boost key from 6A?

The classic +2 energy boost from 6A is 8A (A minor) — two steps up the wheel on the same ring. For a gentler build, step +1 to 7A (D minor) instead; it lifts the set without the audience noticing the key change.

Is 6A a minor or major key?

6A is minor — every A code sits on the inner ring of the Camelot wheel. Its relative major is 6B (B♭ major): both keys share the same notes, which is why flipping between them always mixes cleanly.
