User Reviews

This program couldn't be simpler to use while providing a database of scales from the European classical tradition, jazz and pop, world music, and even the modernist world of Messiaen. Transposing keys is a snap, while the ability to vary tempo, register, number of octaves, and rhythmic pattern makes this an invaluable practice tool. Already one of my favorite music apps.
