Appmuse

I have been using the App for a while now and it has taught me harmony in a new and comprehensive way To me it give musicians many options and I'm thinking in a whole different way when comes composing and hearing music The visual is fantastic u are hearing at the same time you not bored at anytime with music theory It's truly revolutionary !! Thank you Show more

While I have just barely begun to scratch the surface of everything in this app I am so very excited to have it. This will make adding color so much easier and it fits right in with so much that I am already teaching my students. Great job! Show more

Thanks to your app, now everybody can be a good musician, darn it!

I love this app it opens up your creativity and is so much fun to use Also if you have a question they respond quickly .... You need this app.

Very useful app!! It will enhance your playing ( if you use it correctly) and if you have any questions just contact them and they'll promptly respond with a solution. Definitely a great tool!! Show more

My friend this is a great tool to have in your possession. It will certainly bring your playing far beyond the next level. Yes you will have to purchase the add-on neo,Trina,Brian McKnight,black gospel, jazz, Herbie Hancock, please don't forget the tri tone. There are many chord combination you can as Greg says Lego together. Man you really don't need to transpose again you can use your favorite selection to other keys as well. Not a good customer relations. They use to be. So you will have to purchase the adventures in harmony and master the suspensions. If you want to get a full understanding. You may have to read it twice to make sure you are not missing all the juicy instruction. Overall it's number one on the market. Never play a song the same ever again Broaden your horizons. Have fun and be bless Show more

Not bad...

This app doesn't let you do much, or at least without the inapp purchases. There are so many in app purchases and all of them are pretty high priced. You can get better music apps in my opinion at those prices. Show more

My harmony shortcomings have been overcome. Do yourself a favor, take your voicings where your ears and skills simply can't.

I love this App. I think it's safe to say that it's one of the best music apps in the store. This series has transform my keyboard playing from ordinary to extraordinary. Try it and see you won't regret it. Show more

I'm gonna give it 2 stars for concept, that's where my praises end. UI is messy at best, out of the box it's just a glorified chord dictionary. No sounds, counterintuitive, expensive as hell. It's been a recurring problem with patent music apps, they want to charge u for the patent they filed to protect themselves. Just with adding midi capability and unlocking the chord voicings alone u are looking at $112, the ebook explaining the theory cost $30 and they don't tell u the price in app so if u assume its $5, u're in for a rude awakening. Great concept, poor execution Show more

The app works great on my iPhone 5 but does not work well on my iPad. Many chords in the Neo chords plugin do not appear on the Ipad. Can anyone help? Show more

It does what it says. You must read instructions. Add-on rather expensive, but small price to pay for the information.

Fantastic if you understand how to use it! This is not for neophytes. Even though you dont have to know a lot of music theory to use it. It does what it says it does- you hit a melody key and it shows you all the various chords you could use. Show more

A real eye opener!

This app is COMPLETELY USELESS do not waste your time or money. I wasted $10 on the core midi and I am stuck with junk. Not user friendly. Would give negative stars if it would let me. Show more

Now I feel dumb.... You must restore the in app content you downloaded previously after you update. Previous updates didn't delete your content... That's why I thought there was a problem... All you have to do is restore. Show more

This definitely is an excellent tool for re-harmonizing. Only gripe, but major disappointment nonetheless is the lack of customer support. I have emailed them at least four times-not even an automated response back! It really speaks volumes when a developer doesn't deem it necessary to provide follow up support after customers make the initial purchase. What's more is when you factor in all the addons, it is a very expensive investment. Customer support where are you???? :-( Show more

I cannot hear what the chord sounds like when I click on it

This app is designed to help you add advanced harmonies to your music, speciffically in the Gospel, Jazz, Soul, and R&B genres. It can be applied to other musical genre's with your own creativity. I could also imagine additional harmony packs being released for this system such as Progressive Rock, however they have not been released yet. Right now there is only one "Artist" pack, and it is a Fusion of Gospel and lite Progressive Rock, a "Tritone" pack which is useful for the Gospel and Funk genres, the "Black Gospel" pack, and the "Jazz" pack. You have to purchase Midi support if you want to hear the chords from within the app. There is also a music theory course explaining the genres to purchase within the app, but it is not a must. To really make this app come alive, you need to purchase at least the "Black Gospel" and "Jazz" add-on packs, which are $50 dollars each. The more supplemental packs are worth around $10 dollars each. In addition, Midi support to hear the chords and to export saved progressions is also $10. To use this app, you enter in the Major/Relative Major key of your song. "Key of C" would mean C Major/A Minor for example. You would enter in a base note, which is mainly used for your intended chord. Bass note C would usually give you a useful C Major chord variation, and so on. You could also enter in a Melody note, which would only include chords including that note. The melody section is best to use if you have written a melody, but want you want to include a supplemental chord progression. You can use the Bass and Melody note sections together. It is my personal preference not to. The Chords section is the bread-and-butter of the app. After you have entered in the basic information, it will give you a chord, along with a suggested chord voicing used speciffically in the genre. For example, if the "Black Gospel" chord group is turned on, will probably give you a chord such as C11b5#5 along with a common piano voicing used in Gospel. With the Black Gospel group, it is very easy to create an authentic sounding Gospel or Soul based chord progression. Jazz was also very accurate. A combination of the groups gives out a very Stevie Wonder-esqe/Neo-Soul sound. The notes don't need to be followed exactly. It all depends on your creativity. Chord progressions can also be saved, with some preset songs available if you have purchased the appropriate packs. Also any combination of the packs can be turned off. I seriously would've given this 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. The harmonies given are incredible. This would be an excellent to for anyone interested in these genres, and I can see this app expanding with time. An annoying con however, some of the musical terms are a little inaccurate. For example, a 13sus chord will be suggested, when I believe a 13sus4 is the appropriate term. I've also never seen a b5#5 chord used anywhere else, even if the sound itself is accurate. Show more
