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 brighter modes can be viewed as providing a distorted version of diatonic functional harmony.

In a classical-like setting both the 6th scale degree (either #6, a minor sixth, or nat6, a major 5th), and the 8th scale degree (either a minor or a major seventh) could be treated as mutable. | |||
