Important note: squares you play to play notes start as --dark blue-- and don't turn --light blue or pink-- until you play 2 notes and the program plays a chord to match those two notes.

Melody to Chord is a simple way to inspire your compositions.
Play a melody with one finger and the app will show you which notes likely sound sour (colored red) and play chords to match your melody as you play it (the last 6 chords you've played are listed). It can also automatically play AI-generated melodies.

It's intended as a songwriting tool for inspiration. For example, play until you find/hear a combination of your melody and the AI-selected chord progression that works for you

--------------------------------
Detailed Guide and FAQ:

*) To show all the 10 scales available (you can select from 10 musical scales, including Xenharmonic scale) *scroll down* in/on the scroll box.
*) The "Sourness Allowed" slider controls what types of chords are used (moving it all the way to the left only allows major/minor/add2/suspended chords...while moving it to the far left also allows more dissonant chords such as seventh, thirteenth, and augmented chords).
*) Gray notes trigger new chords.
---------------
*) The "Force New Chord" button causes any note you play, gray or not, that's not red to generate a new chord
*) Blue to dark pink notes are playable without having the program change chords to match (the more pink/dark, the more dissonant the melody will become).
*) Sour notes are shown in red when the "neighboring tones" button is activated and hidden/blank when the button is deactivated. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Melody Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.melodyscanner.app) — 879,448 users, 3.54 / 5 - [TrueFire Guitar Lessons](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.truefire.android3) — 89,766 users, 2.32 / 5 - [Auto-Key | Music key detection](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.auto_key_mobile) — 152,053 users, 3.79 / 5 - [Music Writer - Music Composer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.musicappdevs.musicwriter) — 775,751 users, 4.18 / 5 - [SongDrafting](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.songdrafting.app.twa) — 22,332 users, 3.92 / 5 - [Set List Maker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.arlomedia.setlistmaker) — 9,024 users, 3.62 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ampetus.tochord)
