Examples #1, #2, and #3 all begin in the Progression Builder (PB) module. However, as noted, this is not necessary. Users can begin a new MAJA session in ANY of the three modules. In this example, Chord and Arpeggio Builder (CB) is used as the entry point. Screenshots taken at key points in the session are provided below. Here we set the starting chord for this session to Cmaj7b5.
