Modernized Code.

User reviews

Worth the investment, delicious sounds.

I took an age to commit to this app but it warrants a rapid 5 star review. Unique library of harmonic language, impressive sounding instruments and ease of use make this app a “must have” if you like film music or modern harmony.

Fantastic and Unique

This is a fantastic app for musical composition. You simply pick the chord that you like, and the app automatically suggests a number of musically compatible chords to follow, based on theory and decades of analysis of actual composers. The creation process is extremely quick, and the results are great even for someone with little formal musical education.

There are short and very helpful tutorials on the developer's website, which I highly recommend if you're in doubt about this purchase.

This is a lifetime work of its developer and it shows. Highly recommended.

Great for songwriters

I've been using ChordWeaver for a couple of weeks now to help with the harmonization of my song melodies, and I've found it to be wonderfully helpful. I can try out all the various harmonies and choose the one that I love the most, and its easy! No more hours at the keyboard searching for just the right one. Now it's only a finger tap away. And so easily downloads midi files to my protools light for further arrangement or recording. Love it!
