Pretty cool, though it seems there are many common progressions that it can't make, as it forces you to choose a single scale for everything (the block titled "mode" should really say "scale"). For example, minor progressions rarely stick to a single scale like this tool requires.
With that said, you can still make a wealth of cool progressions in a single scale, and the limitation is interesting to work with.
- nighthawk454 7y agoPerhaps "scale" should be its own block. The first 7 modes listed are in fact modes of the same scale so the name is fitting. But "Melodic" and "Harmonic" are their own scales, each with a corresponding set of 7 modes. It would be cool to select modes of those scales as well. For example Phrygian Dominant (mode of Harmonic minor) is very common in a lot of metal music, some classical, Eastern European, etc. As an aside, the line visual for the arpeggio styles is really cool! It would be neat to select different arpeggios for each chord and see the whole progression drawn out as a line.
- microtherion 7y ago> it forces you to choose a single scale for everything That confused me as well, but I think what the author meant was that the scale applies to the I. If, for instance, you enter IV III II I Ionian, you get the Lydian-Phrygian-Dorian-Ionian you'd expect (at least as far as I hear it).
