9B = G Major

9B is the Camelot code for G major. It sits at position 9 on the outer, major (B) ring; in Traktor's Open Key notation it's 2d. Below: every key that mixes with 9B, 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 9B?

Every key the SetFlow engine scores as compatible with 9B (G major), 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 9B is 8B (C major) at 90/100. Moving down Camelot wheel — energy drop.

Raising the Energy From 9B

Three moves out of 9B build energy without breaking key compatibility:

  • 9B → 10B (D major) — One step up the wheel — a near-invisible lift that keeps the set moving forward.
  • 9B → 9A (E minor) — The relative minor — same notes, darker and more driving.
  • 9B → 10A (B minor) — 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 11B (A major). Use it sparingly — anything further round the wheel starts to clash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What key is 9B in music?

9B on the Camelot wheel is G major. The number 9 is its position on the wheel and the letter B means it sits on the outer, major ring. In Traktor's Open Key notation the same key is written 2d.

What keys mix with 9B?

From 9B (G major) the safe moves are: staying in 9B, stepping to 8B (C major) or 10B (D major), flipping to 9A (E minor, the relative minor), and jumping to 11B (A major) for an energy lift. Anything further round the wheel risks an audible clash.

What is the energy boost key from 9B?

The classic +2 energy boost from 9B is 11B (A major) — two steps up the wheel on the same ring. For a gentler build, step +1 to 10B (D major) instead; it lifts the set without the audience noticing the key change.

Is 9B a minor or major key?

9B is major — every B code sits on the outer ring of the Camelot wheel. Its relative minor is 9A (E minor): both keys share the same notes, which is why flipping between them always mixes cleanly.
