Same key. The safest blend there is — nothing to clash.

One step clockwise. Lifts the room without changing the mood.

Energy down
12B E major

One step back. Cools it off, same tonal family.

Mood flip
1A Ab minor

Relative major/minor switch. Same notes, different feeling.

The notes in B major

BDbEbEGbAbBb

Two keys blend when their scales overlap. That is all harmonic mixing is — the Camelot wheel is just a faster way to see it.

Key is half the answer

Tempo still has to line up, and a key detector that is wrong is worse than no key at all. Harmoniq gives every result a confidence score, so you know when to trust it and when to listen first.
