Octavian Pro is the Swiss Army knife of music theory apps! Featuring 550+ scales and 100+ chords, with deep options for viewing, listening, and cross-referencing, Octavian is the ultimate reference, learning, and teaching tool. Essential for all musicians, students, composers, and songwriters! As seen in Keyboard Magazine (Jan 2010): "It's a cheat sheet no keyboardist should leave home without." • SCALES - 550+ scales from around the world and through history. View any scale with any root note, in any mode, and examine the chords and harmony within the scale. • CHORDS - 100+ chords including sevenths, elevenths, ninths, thirteenths. Invert chords and browse scales that include the chord. • PROGRESSIONS - Compose 12-step chord progressions, with inversions, transposition, and added sevenths for each step. • MODULATION - Find pivot chords for the current scale and discover possible modulation destinations for each scale degree. • DICTIONARY - Enter notes on the keyboard to find the scales and chords that contain the notes! • DISPLAY - Configure the note labels to show notes, intervals, degrees, steps, or solfège (iPad only). • PLAYBACK - Choose tempo, octave, and repeat options for 12 high-quality instrument sounds to suit ear training, practice, or just hearing new harmonies.

Versatile but lacking some practical tools
1. Needs in-app manual or at least on-demand wizards
2. Needs way to save notes, chords and progressions you play and to output this as midi file
3. Would also be nice to output midi from within app
Aside from that, get ready for a voyage of discovery.

Love the new update
Glad to be able to use this app again. If you can make an option to have dictionary mode play individual note sounds as we touch/add them that would be handy. Thanks!
