Chord Wheel : Circle of 5ths|音樂線上App不用買

The Interactive Chord Wheel is an implementation of one of the most basic and significant music theory, 'Circle of fifths' on Android. This app is uniquely designed to represent the relationship between a scale and a chord.

In the screen of this app, the Circle is made up of several concentric rings, which provides various information. By rotating the 2 rings, inner and outer, the needed information can be got easily.

The outer most ring shows information on the scale such as a tonic, a dominant, a sub-dominant, a relative minor, a relative major, and a progression of the degree. The next outer ring shows a series of note's name ordered by the progression of 5th, and the root note of a scale can be set by rotationg this ring. When rotating the outer ring, the inner ring rotates also. The next ring shows a degree of a note and a diatonic chord in that scale. By rotaing the next ring, a chord can be set. If a note name of the outer ring is touched, then a diatonic chord, of which the root note is the note, is set. Instead of the inner chord ring, a key progression ring can be displayed which is very useful when transposing a song to another key. At the center of the concentric rings, a signiture of the scale is displayed.

The direction of the circle

The direction of the key progression on a circle can be set to a CW or a CCW direction by a user.

Switchable Inner Wheel

The inner wheel can be switched when it is needed. A chord wheel, a transpose wheel, and a interval wheel are avalable.

Scale

Diatonic Scale Chord

Both triads and 7th chords are supported for each scale.

Transpose Wheel

For transposing, a ring of key progression can be displayed instead of a chord ring.

Interval Wheel

Intervals of notes can be found out easily and quickly. Just switch the inner wheel to an interval wheel.

Inversion of a Chord

The inversion of a chord can be played by clicking a button, and also can be seen through the piano view.

Notation System

There are various ways of naming note names. In this app, CDEFGAB, CDEFGAH, and Fixed-Do systems are supported. Also, you can set a prefered accidental, a sharp(＃) or a flat(♭).

Guitar

Information about a scale or a chord also can be shown on a guitar fretboard. It's tunable.

Colors / Marks

The tones of a scale and a chord are associated with the 7 colors of the rainbow. For example, the 1st note is red, and the 7th note is violet.

Also, marks such as ●, △, ★, ◎ represent that it's 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th note.

Clef / Signature

A signature of the scale is showed at the center of rings. A clef can be set to a treble of a bass.

When the center is touched, user-defined action is performed.
