TONALY: Songs & Tonleitern

I got this app when it first came out and it’s help me tremendously with learning scales, chords and just song structure in general. It’s very well put together and offers so much learning potential for anyone wanting to learn music and is a great app to practice if you need to brush up on music knowledge. Very much recommend

Bought Tonaly Pro about a year ago, which seems to have been removed to force subscriptions. Not cool. Also, the amount of data shared is insane. Small devs are a danger to our privacy just as much as Big Tech, since our micro-data, once combined, creates precise digital profiles. Hey dev, are you aware you will be living under the surveillance state you're helping build? Anyway, where is my Pro app?

Tonally has quickly become a standout tool in my music production workflow. The current feature set is fantastic, making it incredibly intuitive to map out progressions and build out track ideas. It’s genuinely a pleasure to use for songwriting. If I could suggest a couple of updates for a future release, it would be amazing to see support for more complex voicings: Higher Extensions: Adding 11ths and 13ths would be a game-changer for exploring deeper musical textures. Overall, it’s an excellent app that I highly recommend, and with those few additions, it would be absolutely perfect.

i don’t know what that 1 star review is talking about, this is a killer app that is a must have for musicians

Love the app, been using it for about 10 years. Ive always used it to reference other modes to ionian but was wondering if its possible to display two modes simultaneously? Like two sets of dots, separately color coded, and may have the ability to set one mode as home via color choice (no extra clutter needed. Instructions in preferences tab) and the parallel mode of home would be the opposite color displaying your intervals as a palette of color as opposed to separate palettes.

This app is good for teaching chord progressions, chord progressions in keys, using substitutions, borrowing, and modulations, etc. But one clear omission is MIDI input and output. It seems so obvious, the need for midi in and out, I’m surprised that years in it hasn’t been added. An example use case would be, using external instruments for playback, like Pianoteq for example. MIDI input could be used to hear piano while using the app, but also to choose chords by root, or inversion. For example, if I’m going to pick a CMaj in 1st inversion, being able to just play it on a keyboard and Tonaly inserting that chord into the arrangement would be handy. Also, the PDF sheet music could use a more refined engine. It’s a bit cheep looking. Not something I’d use to give to another professional. But good enough for teaching. Other than that, I’ve been using Tonaly since it was released and it’s a good tool for teachers and musicians learning the skill of putting chord progressions and songs together.
