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).

Good but

stefolive on

Great app to build chords progressions but lacking of rythmic chords movements. You can duplicate chords if you need 2 bars of the same chord but it s really limitated in that matter. Make it hard to use as a chord progression player in a DAW like AUM .

Genial!

Genial muy completo y didáctico

La mejor para crear progresiones

Joss Louis on

Calidad profesional en muy poco espacio,ideal para crear tus progresiones de acordes y escucharlas.Creo que es la mejor App para trabajar progresiones,muy visual,y con una dinámica para trabajar ideal.

Sonidos

buggycygnus on

Antes tenían un sonido muy bueno que se oían perfectamente los acordes y progresiones, cambiaron en una actualización y ahora todos los sonidos en mi opinión son muy malos.

Cannot send midi to GarageBand iOS

Fútbol por 0 € on

Love it, but cannot send midi to GarageBand

Almost useless

MCV EHR on

Unless you’re completely lacking in both musical theory AND intuition, this app won’t help you at all. It presents you all possible chords without suggestion, so your guess is as good as anyone’s as to what chord may sound good next. You can’t edit the length of the chords, if you want to extend the duration of a chord you need to duplicate it, and you can’t shorten the default 1 beat duration without completely changing the bar length, not very intuitive. There’s better apps out there, just make sure you don’t spend any money on this one. My apologies for the developers, but I have to be honest.

Wichard Bimble on

Constantly updated and improved - an excellent composition tool which is both intuitive and flexible.

Perfecta !!!

ajch24 on

La baje y me he quedado muy contento con esta app soy músico y esto me permite tener mayor facilidad a la hora de mirar armonía de canciones para componer !!!

buen programa, mala implementacion para desbloquearlo

ALN5 on

El programa en si parece estupendo y con potencial, pero he tenido problemas al pagar el "Full unlock" desde el Ipad" siendo imposible finalizar la compra, el soporte del programa no responde los emails con lo que no me queda otra que pasar de el. Con lo facil que es poner apps desbloquedads en el momento de su compra, este desarrollador parece que le gusta complicar las cosas. Por suerte hay otras aplicaciones que hacen lo mismo de pago sin tantas complicaciones, espero que el desarrollador lo tome en cuenta en un futuro.
