Key-based Progressions

Main Features

Key-based Progressions stands out with its robust features designed to enhance your musical experience. Here are some key features:

Feature 1: Contextual Generation

One of the main features is the automatic generation of progressions adapted to the active scale. This allows musicians to work within a harmonious framework without worrying about unexpected dissonances.

Feature 2: Diatonic Respect and Modal Options

The generated chord sequences strictly adhere to the chosen key, while offering modal options to explore different harmonic colors. This is particularly useful for musicians seeking to deepen their understanding of modes and cadences.

Feature 3: Audition and Transposition

With the ability to instantly audition each suggestion, users can evaluate progressions in real-time. Additionally, the quick transposition feature allows for key changes in an instant, making it easy to adapt existing pieces.

How to Use the Tool

Using Key-based Progressions is simple and effective. Follow these steps to maximize your experience:

1. Step 1: Select a scale in your layers to define the harmonic framework of your progressions.
2. Step 2: Open the Key-based Progressions module to access the suggestions generated by the app.
3. Step 3: Audition the progressions that interest you and observe the degrees and harmonic functions for better understanding.
4. Step 4: If necessary, use the transposition feature to adapt the progressions to other keys.
5. Step 5: Export your choices to the progression generator or directly to your desk for easy integration into your compositions.

For example, if you’re working on a piece in C major, you can select this scale and explore typical progressions like I-IV-V or more complex variations.
