About this app

The chord circle is a fundamental tool in music theory used to visualize and understand keys and tonal relationships. It consists of twelve notes evenly arranged on the circle, which represent the twelve different tones of the chromatic scale. The notes in the chord circle are arranged in ascending fifths, meaning that each note is five semitones higher than the previous one.

The chord circle is helpful for determining which keys harmonize with each other. For example, the key that is a fifth above or a fourth below the current key in the chord circle is often harmonically compatible. This is the basis for the structure of chord progressions and modulations in music.

The chord circle can also help with transposing pieces of music because it shows how notes in different keys are connected to each other. It is an essential tool for musicians and composers to understand and creatively deal with the structure and relationships between keys.

Make chords with numbers. Take a tone from the orange circle on position 1 of the green circle. The rest is easy. The tones 1-3-5 in the green circle are a major chord for all notes. The tones 1-b3-5 in the green circle is a minor chord for all notes. The tones 1-3-5-7 in the green circle is a mayor seventh chord for all tones. Each chord (sus2, sus4, sixth and so on) has the same numbers for all tones. So easy. And the circle of fifths is there too. Make all music
