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).

I’m happy

It does what it’s supposed to and do so in an excellent manner. Inspiration is flowing. 😎🙃

Verkar bra!

Verkar bra! Skal funktionerna kan bli bra. Köper eventuellt för att se om visningen av skalor på noter är praktiskt!

Simply excellent!

Please develop further. I would love to duplicate chords, insert them in specific sections, voice leading, more chord symbols (with even more b or # elements in the chord), assigning scales per section, I guess in general more edit options. Thanks for great work!! I hope this inspire some of today's songwriters to go back to harmony instead 4 chords that are in 90% of songs Take care!

The app is crashing!

With the new update the app is constantly crashing. And the scale-finder option is gone/hidden. The reason why I loved this app was because of that function. Bring back the old version, it was working just fine!

Cool for chords!

Intuitive and easy app for quickly experimenting with chord variations. And it features MIDI export for near-instant DAW abuse!

For ALL musicians

Hands down, the best songwriting app for chords(progression) I've tried so far. Anyone can use it. If it's your first time writing a progression, the app guides you thru it and no time you have written the foundation of a song. And if you are an expert in this field... ah just get it! It's everything they promise and more!!
