How Camelot mixing works

Each key sits at a number (1–12) and a letter — A for minor, B for major. Compatible mixes move by one step around the wheel or switch between a relative major and minor.

  • +1 · Perfect 5th up — One step clockwise. Smooth lift in energy.
  • −1 · Perfect 4th down — One step counter-clockwise. Gently drops energy.
  • ↔ Relative maj/min — Same wheel number, switch mood between major and minor.
