See video on the website for details.

Minor update to handle new slash chords that we are about to release as in-app purchases. Be sure to get the "Adventures in Harmony Handbook of Harmony" which is over 175 pages detailing our Patent Pending Harmonization system. This app is based on the material in this book. If you want a full understanding of our Harmonization technique and notation, it is all explained in the book.

This version makes the entire "Adventures in Harmony Course" available as an add-on option within the app. The written portion of the course is now on PDFs. The PDFs will appear on your bookshelf in iBooks.
The written version of this course is over 1200 pages in 8 volumes and is distributed by AMAZON.COM.
NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE ENTIRE COURSE IN THIS APP WITH INSTANT ACCESS TO OVER 12000 OF OUR CHORD VOICINGS!!!
We have added an option to control the speed that notes are sent via MIDI. Now when you use a piano voicing you can cause the notes in the chord to not be all stuck at once, similar to playing a real piano, and this also can minimize any MIDI hanging notes by slowing down the output send rate.
