At least in A-Team, the brighter modes can be viewed as providing a distorted version of diatonic functional harmony. For example, in the Dylathian mode, the 4:5:9 triad on the sixth degree can sound like both "V" and "III of iv" depending on context. Basic chord progressions can move by minor fourths, thirds, or major seconds: for example, J major-M minor-P minor-Ob major-J major (in Ilarnekian) or J major-K major-O major-M major-J major (in Dylathian).

The darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because of the consonant 11/8 minor tritone and the 13/8 minor sixth, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function.
