Default Oscillator tuning/ One finger chords linked to key of track? (SOLVED)

Hey guys so iv was messing around with my virus the other day tuning making the so called one finger chord stabs like used in electro tracks ect i had a look at tuning intervals mentioned in the "how to make a noise" book.

A minor third - Three semitones up
A major third - Four semitones up
A perfect fourth - Five semitones up
A perfect fifth - Seven semitones up

I tuned the patch so osc1 was at 0, osc2 at 3 and osc3 at 7. So basically if i hit a C note i am playing a Cm cord.

Now i know how to work out the key of a track but this got me thinking if i played my riff and the first note was C (the root note) would the track be in the key of C minor? Also then now that i have this Cm one fingered chord would the track sound weird if i played it in C major key? As it would be moving from minor to major?

any help would be great cheers jamie.
