Suggester : Chords and Scales - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

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).

It is very awesome.

Ever since keys were added this is my definitive go to solution for sketching ideas. One extra thing I would like is add one extra note on each step that is played by a very distinct other sound, e.g. piano for the chord and flute for the note. Then you could sketch chord with a melody line. But it might be over the top, it shouldn’t turn into a multi track thing and keep its simplicity.

Perfect Tool

Very easy and handy. Superb options. Best in this category

An app from a dedicated developer!

It’s amazing how much updates this app gets, and it just keeps getting better and better. I’m very impressed with the amount of work that is being put into it. It is well worth the complete unlock!

The app I’ve been looking for... great!

Great app! I hope an update will let you delete multiple chords in a sequence at once. Oh, and please get rid of the ‘review this app’ window that pops up everytime I open the app... I don’t like to be forced to review when I allready paid for the app.... But overall... this is the app I’ve been looking for for years...

Great chord progression tool

Thank you for developing this app. It is a superb tool for quickly developing ideas for chord progressions and experimenting. Best of all I can now do this anywhere without a piano. Nice work!

Wonderfully job.

Just great. A clear overview of main steps of scales (i, iv) would be nice. The tutorial is not really needed, can be an option in help.

Good!

Really good quality app! And thanks for the update that makes iOS 5 compatible

Just f'in great

This app is amazingly helpfull for any sort of musician that wants to create progressions or just look up chords, the only problem is that the sound stops working quite a lot so then the app needs to be closed and opened up again, if this will be fixed its a 5 out of 5 rating for me!
