Anyone use Cognitone Harmony Navigator to help with Chords?

[wrench45us]

there's a 30 day demo to try it and see

my old Dell notebook only goes to 1024 x 768 and won't properly display the crowded 'extended' chord layouts. I'm trying to determine if that's fixable or will be fixed.

being able to hear and edit changes is really useful to me for ear training and rough writing
some things are a little more awkward than I'd hoped, but I've only been at it 2 evenings so far

it looks exactly the same as chordspace... http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1945.html

Not exactly really at all.

Don't get me wrong, Chordspace is awesome, but this thing does a whole lot more than that.

Not even close to exactly the same. I have them both. Harmony Navigator allows me to quickly figure out chord relationships in a visual context. I don't use its patterns for much at all except to audition what transitions sound like. I'm not a theory junkie, so it gives me a leg up there.

Chordspace allows the non-keyboardist I am to stay in key without plonking those mysterious dark thingies on the keyboard. That allows me to try leads on the fly I would normally have to plod through, losing all inspiration in the process.

Both are good products, but not the same.

Not to throw dirt at Chordspace (as it is a killer plug GO BUY PLAYA RIGHT NOW!!!) but it would be cool of there was some kind of VST bridge for this.. I get really bad MIDI syncs for some reason (or maybe I'm just retentive about offtimed notes)..

for anyone interested, the font display issues I was seeing have been cleared up in the latest version


re: Chordspace
Cakewalk implemented their instruments so that midi data was not passed along from one instrument to another. My understanding is that the Dxi specification simply didn't mention this. I believe this has been corrected in Sonar 5. But I think this is why there's a special version of Chordspace for Sonar (probably prior to Sonar 5). But as far as I know Project 5 still doesn't pass along midi from instrument to instrument. And so some other hosts may have similar issues.

99€ LOL !

Well, it's probably the most useful program I've ever come across in all these years. For 99 euros it's a no-brainer for those who don't know a lot about music theory to get into songwriting. After all, isn't songwriting perhaps the most important element in the entirety of musicality? I'd say so. Others may have different opinions. But mine is that it doesn't matter how good the sound engineers are or how good the gear is, if the songwriting is of poor quality.

This program allows those who want to improve their songwriting capacity to learn about the chords and the scales and keys that make them work.

Well I've just been trying it out. It's amazing, I'm buying a copy right away

[yourspins]

Help with chord progression - this wouuld be like heaven for me! thanks guys...

[Sam@Megablastic]

I bit the bullet and just bought it looks like a bit of a learning curve, but really useful.

[MaliceX]

Does this have some kind of chord library included for audition and viewing? If so, is it as good as the chord listings out there?

[Sam@Megablastic]

Still getting to grips with the prog, it's a steep learning curve. But has every chord known to man, it shows you what goes with what, and will even add chord progressions to your melodies

[Jono-60]

Can you export progressions to MIDI?

Whats the chances of getting a group buy for this?

[Colonel Flashback]

Can you export progressions to MIDI?

sure
