Sorry, I misspoke. I always get thrown on the difference between a diminished and a half diminished chord. blush

As you noted, a Adim7 would have continued the pattern of minor thirds of the diminished (A, C, Eb) by adding the next minor third, which is the Gb/F#. So the term "diminished" in the chord name refers not only to the 3rd and 5th, but the 7th as well.

I should have said that the Cm6 also doubles as a Am7(b5) (half-diminished).

Thanks for the correction!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
