This app is good for teaching chord progressions, chord progressions in keys, using substitutions, borrowing, and modulations, etc. But one clear omission is MIDI input and output. It seems so obvious, the need for midi in and out, I’m surprised that years in it hasn’t been added. An example use case would be, using external instruments for playback, like Pianoteq for example. MIDI input could be used to hear piano while using the app, but also to choose chords by root, or inversion. For example, if I’m going to pick a CMaj in 1st inversion, being able to just play it on a keyboard and Tonaly inserting that chord into the arrangement would be handy. Also, the PDF sheet music could use a more refined engine. It’s a bit cheep looking. Not something I’d use to give to another professional. But good enough for teaching. Other than that, I’ve been using Tonaly since it was released and it’s a good tool for teachers and musicians learning the skill of putting chord progressions and songs together.

purchased the app and then basically had to pay the same price again for full functionality. If you know nothing about music this might be useful. The UI is not enjoyable to use, feels clunky. I went back to handwriting because the suggestions for chords weren’t very good and writing it out was faster

As a musician for over 15 years I can say that if there is any app to get, this will be the one. In terms of song writing, understanding theory, and getting to understand the framework of music; I can’t recommend this enough!!!

Anything in the works for saxophone players? Also to lock the key and get the parallel scales for that key?

This app can only play chords, one at a time, with no other notes. You can’t even play individual notes on top of the chords. I tried to request a refund but it’s too late

Best app in category so far as UIX is concerned. However, I wish I could have arpeggio textures on the sound, or something to make it only strum once per time interval.

I have a Arturia Minilab 3 midi controller I am unable to get it to play anything on 2 different iPads. Does this app not support MIDI? If so how can I make it work? I just purchased it today about 45 minutes ago. Thank you.

I’m very impressed with this app. It’s a great tool and a real time saver. Of course, you have to go next level to pick chords that are not traditionally in the key that you pick, but this is a great guide to keep you within a traditional framework. Especially useful for beginner songwriters who may be doing it by trial and error.
