[QUOTE="mizmar, post: 628833, member: 7945"] So drones. They have the root / tonic; obviously. Then, if played on an instrument, whatever Overton/partial/harmonic series that thing has (for strings and tubes; octave, 5th 4th, major 3rd, minor 3rd or whatever). Equally, the synth in TE Tuner app allows to add a major 3rd and/or perfect 5th. So, my question, is that what one always wants? If you're playing something in minor or a more exotic harmonic landscape? I guess you can use the relative minor; but then the tonal center / root is wrong. Ok. You can change the harmonic series of a natural instrument; but with synths, the world is your blue oyster cult. Or maybe it doesn't matter. I bet the world of Sitar drones is more interesting!
