Step into the 4th dimension of modern jazz harmony. Tetratonics reveals the secret behind contemporary voicings — take a triad you already know, add one carefully chosen color tone, and instantly unlock lush, sophisticated harmony.
Not all "Triad + 1" combinations are created equal. Tetratonics curates the 10 highest-value structures used in contemporary jazz — meticulously optimized for harmonic beauty and functionality. Every combination sounds incredible.
Tap any chip above to see its 4-note pitch array
Each structure is a major or minor triad with one carefully chosen color tone added. If you know your triads, you're already fluent in the system.
Our stunning 12-tone chromatic ring maps how your chosen tetratonic structure relates to the underlying chord. Notes form unique geometric shapes that reflect intervallic relationships in real time.
Tap any valid note on the chromatic ring to smoothly pivot your starting point. The geometry updates instantly as the tetratonic polygon reshapes itself.
Our proprietary analytical engine decodes every tetratonic superimposition into a perfect, standard-compliant jazz chord symbol. The intelligent engine knows when an interval functions as a ♭5 versus a ♯11 — and outputs the exact right notation.
