About this app

The paid edition of this new version 2.0 has been featured on the Android Market and made it to the top selling list!

Keychord is the dynamic dictionary / reference app for piano chords and scales. Use it to find all the scales and chords!

In short:
Easy keyboard to lookup and play around with all chords and scales. Lots of chordtypes and scaletypes to choose from. Also reverse lookup and staff view.
If you're missing something, let me hear it.

In detail:
KeyChord is built around a visual keyboard that you can use to interact with the selected chord- or scaletype. You can for instance tap on a key to make it the root of the chord or you can longpress a selected chordnote to invert the chord to that position. Same goes for scales. Tap a already selected rootnote for different kind of information modes like note-names or intervals.

Everything is dynamic, we don't use a database to give you a few predefined chord locations, but we know how a chord works and let you select a chord everywhere you want.

To add to the dynamic nature of this app, we also included a reverse lookup, both for chords and scales. Easily select the notes of the chord you have in mind (or have discovered on your piano) and let KeyChord tell you how it's called. It supports even missing notes (Like CMaj7 (no 5th)).

Audio playback is also enabled in all modes.

As bonus the playable piano from Mini Piano Lite (128 sounds and 3 octaves) is included.

Ideal companion for a learning fakebook or realbook jazz piano.

Ratings and reviews

I gave this a four stars before a developer asked me if I got paid at my job. I just wish it was free and the paid stuff was something more worthwhile. Not saying it isn't a worthwhile app. It does it's job well but their are many UI improvements possible. For example the slide down for options box is tiny. The individual options could use tidying as well. The theme and color scheme could also be improved.

I think that the transpose should be easily accessible like scroll lock rec etc for if a singer suddenly changes key I would have to stop go to transpose and change before coming back. Long journey

If is there soundfont player, that would be much awesome.
