Chris - This app is absolutely fantastic! I have been a guitar player by ear my entire life and with the current situation I decided to finally properly learn the Circle of Fifths. I purchased the app along with the expanded keys/modes. Currently on day three at 430am and can't put down my iPad because the information and learning in this app turned on the brightest light bulb in my brain and having too much fun. I am a Garageband user getting ready to graduate to Logic Pro. Will try the midi file transfer feature next. Wonderful job Chris - thank you!!
🙌
I have the app and love it. Well done! My only thought is: can you do another tutorial around building jazz chords and progressions? If we can do this we can do anything. Thanks for developing this!! 🎶 ☮️
Every tutorial blows my mind on how useful this is.🤯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
ahah, same man. Fuckin genius...
The guy teaches music theory in 5 minutes tutorials. Point. And made an app that helps practicing theory like never before. With awesome ease.
Just got the app. So excited!! Thanks for the walkthrough!
Being completely honest this is the best app ever, just thank you m8 :)
This is a genius programme by a genius mind and easy to use, I take out my i-phone and finish my verse chorus or bridge off in my lunch or break times at work, well designed, I love it1
Super Video! Danke Dir!
Amazing App! Thanks
This App is absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏 It saves a lot of time and exporting lead sheets for your band members and midi directly to the daw are such powerful features. The ui is intuitive and it‘s a lot of fun to create progressions in minutes. Thanks Chris, this is gorgeous 👍👍👍
Thanks for your feedback!
Great app! The price is also very fair and it is visible that someone made it for his own needs.
This is amazing
Great app!
The best iOS app for musician I’m going to use it as tool for all my beats thank!!!!
🙏🙌
Genius
This is the best app ever
🙏🙌
Super App Chris, gut durchdacht und hervorragend geeignet um sich schnell Ideen zu setzen, du bist bestimmt mit viel Eifer an der usability am arbeiten, ich hätte da eine kleine Empfehlung, und zwar ist mir letztens aufgefallen, dass ich einige Parts meiner Ideen verschieben wollte, also bspw Zeile 2 von Vers 1 vor Zeile 1. Ich musste dann die Zeile löschen und dann erneut erstellen. Wenn dort bereits in einem Block einige Akkorde angepasst wurden kann das echt etwas aufwendig sein, aber falls du Luft hast und das genauso siehst, ich würde mich über ein Update der ohnehin schon super gelungenen UI freuen! :)!
Danke für dein Feedback! Genau die Funktion ist in Planung, dauert aber vermutlich noch ein Weilchen, bis ich es umgesetzt habe 😉
What a great app! Thank you! One thing I run into, would it also be possible to put in a chord as a tab, and that the app could deduct te chord name and then recommend chords based on that?
My knowledge of music theory is limited, so its hard for me to find out the name of the chord I want the song te evolve around.
Wirklich ein tolle App Chris! Ich habe keine Ahnung von Musiktheorie ... aber dass macht so viel Spaß! Schön wäre es, wenn ich bei den Akkorden auch mal die Terz oder Quinte weglassen könnte (a la Let ist Go von James Bay) ... vielleicht geht das aber auch schon?
Henning Bo momentan kannst du nur die Terz weglassen und einen power-chord erstellen... wie du einen Akkord bearbeitest siehst du in diesem Video :)
Please Chris !
The ability to drag and drop (to swap basically) chords in the structure ?
Yeah !
Angelove yes, it’s a planned feature! Stay tuned!
TONALY: Write & practice music and guess what, chords suggestions to a melody ! 😂🤘🏻
so is it possible to write a chord progression. and have each chords pentatonic scale pop up during the progression play back. this way I can hear the chords playing, and the. see the pentatonic scale that corresponds with each chord. therefore i can see the layout of the notes on the fretboard, allowing me to solo over the progression?
How do you get all the parts playing together , like the bass and gtr ?
Locks up on my IPad way too often. I have to reboot to get it running again.
Question! Using the song-writing feature, chords of the exact same type (for instance D Major in G ionian) used in different places in the song playback with different notes, and even playback differently when a section repeats. To elaborate, on guitar a typical D chord is played-from low to high-D,A,D,F#, and the app uses this as the default voicing. But occasionally it sounds like the voicing is D,F#,A,D. Can you help explain this, and can I create my own voicings? Thanks, love the app!
The app creates automated voicing by default. In this way chords inversions may vary depending on their position within the song. You can deactivate this setting and read more about it here: guide.tonaly.app/settings/musical-preferences/auto-voice-leading
Can you change the octave of a chord? Like for example Start with a C Major chord with C 4 as the root. For the next bar can I change it to a C major chord but with a C 3 as the root note?
I hope I explained this right but great app.
Have the same question, would be nice, if you could help Chris.. :)
At the moment, it is not possible to set a specific octave for a particular chord. What you can do is to change the playback octave of the entire song. Though I’m planning to implement this feature. You can read more about playback octaves here: guide.tonaly.app/songwriting/playback-settings/octave-of-the-payback
Hope I could help ✌️
@@tonalyapp Hey thanks
I know this sounds like a dumb question but if I was using this for rock music would it be able to be laid out with Power chords?
If you edit a chord like in 3:28 you can choose a "Power 5" chord which would be a power chord. So yes, you can ✌️
Cool App! Can I just have the seventh and ninth chords on the circle by default somehow?
Yes, you can display seventh chords in the circle of fifths. You can activate this setting under you "Musical preferences" in the sidebar menu ✌️
@@tonalyapp Found it. Awesome, thank you!
How would you do a key change on the refrain?
henrik pson for now you can use the "borrowed chord" feature for that. Long-term I’m planning to add a "real" key change feature, meaning that you can set a specific key or mode for each song part. Stay tuned!
What I see that you missing on this app is the chord. On the guitar and piano. How I am going to learn if I don’t know the position of the fingers ? I thought it have it but I guess I was wrong
Hey! You can display the guitar fretboard and see how chords and scales are played. First, display the instrument like this: guide.tonaly.app/instrument/display-instrument and then change it to guitar like this: guide.tonaly.app/instrument/switch-instrument
I hope it helps!
A great app! Really would like to be able to adjust the chords note by note (and not just the bass note), could this be possible via a future update? That way you’d have more control over the voicing of a chord which still plays a big part in setting a tone for the chord.
I could see a place for it in the UI, right after ”Bass note” and ”Borrow chord”, could be labeled as ”Custom chord” or ”Advanced voicing.”
Hi and thanks for your feedback! Yes, I'm planning this feature but it'll take a while to implement! Stay tuned for updates! ✌️
French English Russian Spanish and German. where is the Italian? if you put it on I buy it immediately
Is it possible to activate the métronome ?
Yes! Check out this article: guide.tonaly.app/songwriting/playback-settings/metronome
Ohhhhh can you release it for Android at some point? :(
Maybe at some point, but not sure when... sorry 😑
I’m contemplating paying $8.00 for it. Is it actually as good as it sounds
The app is not available in my country (Peru) why???? 😭😭😭😭
Unfortunately it is not that easy for me as an independent developer to make it available in every region of the world ☹️ I hope that this will change soon!
Please sell at the Japanese app store.:)
I just cannot figure how to inverse a chord
The app creates automated inversions during the playback. Specific inversions are not yet possible but I’m planning to implement that feature! Stay tuned!
Midi out function!?
Not yet, but it is on my list!
@@christianhengst pretty killer without it! I just dont use a daw for the midi. I would like to send chords straight to a sequencer! I would pay 10 more dollars to have it be able to communicate with ChordPolyPad or just straight to my synths! Thanks alot!
Can you plug chords in and it tell you what scale you are in?

You Sounds like a German Guy when you speak
No transpose👎🏻
Hi! You can transpose the playback for "Bb", "Eb", "F", or "G" instruments in the "Musical preferences". Read more on: guide.tonaly.app/settings/musical-preferences/transpose-playback
