Description

Suggester is a tool for writing songs and chord progressions. This app will help you find chords that work together. It is efficient and fun; use it to build musical phrases that will carry emotion through tension and release.

Select chords for their harmonic function. The app makes full use of the roman numeral notation.

Simply touch a chord to hear how it sounds. Press the play button to hear the chord progression sequentially and adjust the playback speed.

You can work either forward or backward:
FORWARD - Pick a scale, then build your song from the chords that the app suggests. That's the quickest way to assemble chords that are compatible.
BACKWARD - From the catalog, pick a set of chords that you like. The app will tell you what scales it matches with. After you have selected the scale you want to use, the app can tell you what chords will fit in with the ones you entered before. That is extremely useful in jam sessions!

Pick chords and scales from our huge catalog. To go even further, you can create your own custom scales and custom chords.

To spice things up, you can borrow chords from parallel scales.

Explore new territories by using modulation.

Browse the classic chord progressions to find inspiration.

Use Drag and Drop to reorder chords. Hold your finger on an item for a second to start the drag operation. On iPad, you can also drag chords directly from the suggestions to anywhere in your progression.

Tap the note button on the left to change the duration.

Swipe a chord from right to left to delete it.

Export your songs as audio, MIDI or text.

Every sound generated with the app is also sent to the MIDI output, configurable in the Options. You can route these notes to another app on your device, an external MIDI port, or remotely to another computer by setting up a MIDI Network Session.

You can trigger chords through the MIDI input.

Use drag and drop between apps! ChordPadX and Suggester can communicate through drag and drop. You can also drag pads and chords into another app if it supports MIDI drag and drop.

Sync up your tempo with other apps with the help of Ableton Link.

You can choose between the english notation (C, D, E) and the fixed-do notation (do, re, mi).

Wow

Suggester is awesome on

Great app:) fantastic design and very complete!!

Very satisfied

AlbertoCorradin on

The app is very minimalistic, but it has all what a modern pop musician needs to better understand how chords a made and how they work.

Really handy for sketching musical ideas

Neologie on

Really celano and minimal interface. Hai got all that's needed. Good work.

Aggiungere box accordi

Devil1789 on

Come da titolo, app sicuramente mitica già adesso ma per una piena utilità, senza dover far riferimento a terze parti, è necessario poter vedere la diteggiatura degli accordi suggeriti!!!

Bravo !

Luca_MN on

Utilissima, grazie mille.

Utilissimo

Kristiando on

Ottimo per progressioni di accordi al volo,quando hai una progressione in testa e non hai lo strumento sotto mano.

Semplice, chiaro e utile

MauMau1965 on

Una app che non cambia la vita dei chitarristi ma che gliela semplifica notevolmente, sopratutto quando si tratta di creare delle progressioni e ci serve un aiuto per capire quali accordi stanno insieme al meglio. Si possono usare sia i suggerimenti del programma (il suo compito principale) che partire da zero per poi ascoltare il tutto tramite un riproduttore audio incluso. Si possono inviare via mail sia il testo con gli accordi e sia il file midi. Manca la quinta stella perché non ė possibile visualizzare i box degli accordi stessi, funzione che sarebbe molto utile, per il resto consigliato.
