Is there a way to add your own extensions in Colors?

I love the Colors section, as I am mainly working within jazz / Bossa Nova right now. I reach for dominant #11 chords (specifically “C7 (b5)” in Scaler 3) quite a bit, which are not included in the extensions section.

Is there a way I can add my own? Or is there a recommended approach to grabbing these chords easily? The chord search in the Circle of Fifths is not working well for me to get this chord (the search returns nothing for “c7 b5”.)

Thanks!

Hey @1000nettles And welcome to the forum. I think the Circle of Fifths Chords are the best place for advanced voicings. See attached.

Hi @davide, thanks for the reply. That makes sense but since I’ll be reaching for this specific voicing so often is there an easier way than scrolling through that long list?

Well you can add your own and it can apply to everything. Create or edit a chord so it has the correct voicing, right click on that chord and ‘Extract Voicing’. Now go to Voice Grouping and choose the ‘Extracted Voicing’ profile (ensure Voice Grouping is now turned on). That should do it and apply your voicing to all chords!
