Root Shuffling
The root jumps to a new pitch periodically during gameplay — the same noteset is reseated on a fresh root, building the ability to summon the noteset by its type from any root. This makes playing in any key trivial.

Major Pentatonic
Five notes, no semitones — the go-to major melodic scale
The major pentatonic is a five-note scale formed by adding the 2 and 6 to the major triad. Built from five steps along the circle of 5ths and free of dissonant semitone steps, it sounds good in a wide range of contexts. It is the innate scale — hummed naturally, independently across cultures.
