Hi Matt. I'm using it as a stand alone modal chord for the melodic minor scale, over several bars and not in a diatonic progression. It's worse when you play only with bass accompaniment in a style like WLZMODAL. But even with the piano channel turned on the program keeps throwing in dorian minor riffs which sound out of place. I could send you a track but its easy just to set up a one chord vamp yourself to see what I mean. Ditto with the 7susb9 which I think of as phrygian minor.

Admittedly there are one or two walking styles that give you the maj7th as well as the b7th in a chromatic movement but they don't stress the Maj7th.
In future I'm going to have to expand upon the mMaj7th chord in a modal context by alternating it with inversions and other chords from melodic minor.

Regards

Alan
