so hard to use. Why have to pay more for edit or jazz standatd progressions. literally can do nothing for $30.

the amount of thought and musical knowlege put into the development of this app is incredible. and the developer keeps improving it. great learning tool if you take the time to learn all its intricacies. Show more

This app is incredible. Sounds so much better than any other backing track app I've used. The theory behind it is brilliant! As a jazz player, I really appreciate the work that was put into creating this tool. Great improvements on the new version. Congrats! Show more

Very simple 32bars tunes get "Form Error". I don't use any repeat sign. Where do you find inconsistencies? What do you want? Version 8.9.1

Many features are currently broken most importantly there is no sound. Additionally the map itself has no text of chord symbols.

Classic case of bloatware. App constaly loses setting wont load. Screen stops responding. Was a great app used to recommend it. it is now total trash! do not buy. They need to return to original simple format and release a second app with all the crap once they can get it to work. I would really think I need a refund its so bad. Show more

Great tool for study.

Fantastic App! & great video info on their website the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the incredibly slow release of Version 8 for OS :(

I really want to like this app, but it is not good. Every time I open it I either get so frustrated with the workflow that I quit, or it crashes and I've wasted enough time that I don't even bother opening it up again. Oh, and the ratings are now skewed becaues they removed them all. I came back to the app store to redownload the program to see if that would stop it from crashing (it didn't) and see that all the reviews (including mine) had been removed. Show more

It's kinda crazy that there is barely any reviews! This app does have a learning curve but once you know what you are doing it's great. I am a college student studying jazz guitar and I use this app everyday. Great for practicing along with standards. Great for writing songs. Great for learning and understanding theory. And Version 8 is coming out! This app is awesome and continues to impress. 10/10 would recommend!! Show more

Yes it has a bit of a learning curve but what you have access to once you understand the functional layout and input it is amazing. seriously! For fifty bucks its Massive Show more

This is such an unintuitive UI: it's way more complex than it needs to be. There is a steep learning curve for this. Chordbot & Suggester gets the job done w/ a much more streamlined & user-friendly UI. If you do a google search for reviews on this program you will see that many other people echo the same sentiment that I've described. Wish I never downloaded this or that I could've tried this out for some time before purchasing. I'm currently asking Apple App Store for a refund. Show more

I purchased the Target Notes and Upper Structures add-ons. The Target Notes menu appears in a dark mode making it extremely difficult to impossible to see. The Upper Structures menu is white initially and turns dark when “Show Upper Structures” is selected. Please help. Sys: MacBook Pro 2010 OS Version: High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G8037) Thank you Show more

... I thought this was for creating playalongs, which is one thing this app does, but just for that alone, this doesn't meet my expectations and certainly doesn't stand up to IReal Pro. MTHPro only offers two time signatures... WHAT? just 3/4 and 4/4. OK. well I believe MTHPro would probably offer longer tune durations than IReal but not certain of that yet. The playback doesn't match the quality and versatility of IReal but it is different. The analytics looks all cool and is theory in a nutshell so MTHPro does offer it's unique qualifiers. It's an amazing app in it's own ways, I suppose but leaves me high and dry with the play along part. Show more

This is a comprhensive harmonic app. Styles and genres to help you learn and choose harmonic progressions in your compositions and improvisations.

Great idea but flawed execution. I have the Mac version and it seems broken compared to the iPad version. The quality does not match the asking price. The biggest problem is there appears to be no way to contact the developer except his responses to reviews, but also problematic are the following: 1. Can’t change style, everything sounds like a Jazz trio despite what tempo and style controls are set to. 2. Can’t import your own music, iPad version promises import of audio but Mac version lacks even MIDI import. 3. XML file format is non-standard (not MusicXML) and is unpublished (or at least I have not been able to find it). 4. Link to support provided in this review editor goes directly to the main page of web site, in short, there appears to be no developer support for this project. Items 2 and 3 put you at the mercy of only using content developer publishes. Note I’m talking about analysis of existing music, not what you create within the app. I bought this app based on a video showing an analysis of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. At best I feel I’ve been mislead. The developer needs to make it clear what functionality each version has either in the manual and website; preferably both. Show more

ok. i'm trying to change the intial key from 4-flats (apparently the default) but the method that works on the iPad (using the keyboard) doesn't work on the Mac. Why? also, clicking the 'support' link in the App store doesn't go to mdecks support. trying to find 'support' on your webpage is an excercise in futility. i want to like this app, it has potential. you're not making that easy.

Version 7 takes this app to a whole nother level for songwriting, practicing and studying music theory. (Ignore negative reviews for Version 5 or earlier — this is a complete rework!) The software has evolved beyond its jazz roots to encompass all genres of music, including pop, rock and blues. It covers about anything you can think of, from noodling around with chord changes and voicings, to creating and printing out scores for other players. You can also use it as a "backup musicians" for practicing scales and songs. The more screen real estate you have the better because its nice to keep numerous panels open when composing; my experience was better on my iMac than my MacBook — but the app is still effective on either. If you have decent speakers connected (or headphones) the experience is even better, because the audio samples used for drums, piano, and bass are of very high quality. You can export MIDI to your DAW after composition, but I wish there was a way for it to send MIDI in real time via some sort of synch or port (there may be already, I just haven’t been able to do it). Important to note: the developer is updating this regularly, and it has improved a LOT since some of the earlier Version 5 reviews. Yeah, it sounds fantastic, but did I mention it also looks beautiful? Leonardo da Vinci would approve of the mapping screen and layout! Show more

Please review this last update since it is unusable since Oct 18th. Please review this update By the way, Congratulation for this innovative tool.

This is one of the must-have app to add in your tool box. The layout is easy to understand, yet the contents are so powerful. There are a tone of Jazz, Pop, Contemporary, AND MORE, exercises or workout to choose from. It does take a little bit of playing around with in order to really know what you’re doing and take full advantage of the App’s capabilities, but, trust me, this app is worth ever penny. I would hlighly recommend using this app with Tessitura Pro if you are serious about learning new concepts etc. In fact, I would like to see these two apps combined even if the price were to go up a little. In any case, buy this app right now, spend some time watching the tutorials, then, dive in and experience Tonal Harmony!. Show more
