Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro

Mapping-Tonal-Harmony-Pro

Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro has been envisioned as auxiliary material in the study of Tonal Harmony. The main objective of this app is to provide the student, teachers, composers and/or songwriters with a tool that will aid them in hearing, analyzing, foreseeing and composing harmonic progressions without struggle, in all keys alike.

The map has seven levels of complexity, from the basic diatonic neighborhood advanced secondary functions in major and minor modes and is viewable in all 12 keys and enharmonic spellings, plus a functional view (relative to the tonic). Each level is also accompanied by its respective workbook available at mDecks.com for further study and research.

What’s New in Version 5.0
Many new features in this version!

MIDI EXPORT – export progressions as MIDI files in any key

PRINT WORKSHEETS – print progressions as worksheets with functional analysis (or chord progression in any key)

SHOW/HIDE UNUSED CHORDS – the map now has the option to filter out all functions not used in the current progression

AUDIO HARMONIC MARKERS – audio tracks now show functional markers on a timeline to analyze and understand the harmonic rhythm in the current piece.

AUDIO ONION SKIN MARKERS – you can now select a section of the audio track you want to view, listen and analyze.

HARMONIC PATHS ON AUDIO TRACKS – harmonic paths are now available on audio tracks (also reflecting the audio onion markers)

NEW AUDIO TRACKS AVAILABLE.
