In order to provide the foundation, we depict some of our original concepts here that are not patent worthy. Our invention is based on this subject and our company has been playing a key role in its introduction: Modal Harmony Theory. We are attempting to implicate the intensity of the subject so that we may have a better chance of obtaining the required support. |

The first uncanny observation is that the perfect 5th (opposite the perfect 4th) and the chromatic (half step) are the only two intervals that cycle through the 12 notes. The spectrum can be clearly seen when the Diatonic Scale is spread out by perfect 5ths. |
|
Since music is performed and observed chromatically, it is necessary to observe these two non-repeating dimensions working together. |
The Diatonic Modes
|
Main Red conveys optimism and undauntedness like the point of view of one just beginning something and is often found in Movie Intros. |
|
Main Orange (the Major Scale), as everyone knows, provides a happy feeling, is the most popular, and is the means to create a happy song. |
|
Main Yellow is strong like a bright sun. In Traditional Jazz, modes try to reach it due to its bass note strength, or it can drone as bagpipes. |
|
Main Green carries intrigue, conveying intensity along with calm. It is the strongest Minor Mode and is found at the heart of Smooth Jazz. |
|
Main Blue (the Natural Minor Scale), provides the means for making melancholy songs. 'Harmonic Minor' is found in the 'North Spectrum'. |
|
Main Indigo sounds a bit fearful, as if foreshadowing the spectrum's own end and is often found in action thrillers and heavy metal tunes. |
|
Main Violet, unlike the other six diatonic modes, has no perfect 5th and thereby lacks the status of being a 'Melodic Mode'. This mode contains the Diminished Chord for the Main Spectrum and we notice that this Spectrum has no Augmented Chord in it at all. So this mode provides a segue toward the possibility that the other modes that are important to traditional and modern harmony theory might also be members of Spectrums. This notion lead to the purpose and development of our invention. |

The information present here is limited enough to not give away the idea or enable anyone to neither build nor use the invention. It has been a goal for humankind to understand musical harmony ever since we started performing it. A map or guide to harmony would be a very useful tool for musicians and composers alike. We have obtained an unobvious method for creating and using such a map. We make no depiction of it in these articles. |
