Pairs of mediants with higher contrastiveness than 50% tend to sound more dissonant against the fifth or root than lower-contrastiveness mediants, and extremely low-contrastiveness mediants may not sound distinct from each other. Higher contrastiveness enables "cross-tonality", where both mediants in the pair can be played at once in the same chord, as in suspended or [[Arto and tendo theory|arto/tendo]] chords. | |||
