Still one of my favourite apps

Beautiful random chord progressions with option of a melody as well. Midi export available. Perfect.

Great app for musicians ear training

This app is so flexible and the sound quality is so good that it is ideal for ear training. Just configure it to the difficulty you need and let it generate melodies for dictation. Use the melody edit function to play and loop a bar. You check the sounds against the edit grid. Perfect.

Is anyone listening?

The latest lock chords mode is useful, but what is needed is an option to tie notes together, thus sustaining duration. Add AU3 and Landscape mode, and this would be worth at least five times the initial cost.

Cool app

Some features I’d like to see. The ability for the app to keep playing when you change notes and chords. I’d like to see what the note names are on the editor. Perhaps the ability to program a sustained note. The ability to change octave in editor.

Gets the juices flowing!

Great sounds and fairly easy 2 octave melody range and extremely easy to edit. I would suggest expanding the bar limit. Perhaps up to 8 or 16 instead of just 4 and on the melody editor I would suggest to shade it like the piano keys to help locate the octave notes easier. Other than that I love it!

Thank you Mr. Nerbe!

YOU LISTENED!!!

I was watching the YouTube reviews and was going to pass on the app due to a few missing features the reviewer brought up that I thought were important. Once i read your update i noticed you actually implemented those exact changes. That you listened to your users was enough alone to make me purchase.

THANKS!

Thank you Rushsaun! The feedback we recieve from our users is usually very constructive and most requested features make it to Fortamento's roadmap:) From there it's only a matter of priorities and time (we're a small team), so stay tuned for more updates. Thank you for the feedback and purchase - we hope you put Fortamento to good use!

Not quite there yet...

TLDR: the generator component of this app works quite well. However the rest of the app is pretty rough around the edges.

Problems:

- ui is horrible
- midi integration is terrible, painful to use
- menu layouts is very poor, requires way too much tapping, doesn’t implement swipe controls
- auditioning and changing built in instruments is painful

Bottom line, until proper midi support is implemented and ui experience is fixed, do not buy.

Hi calvinbrodice, I was quite surprised to receive such a negative feedback on the UI. While there are improvements that we keep making with each version and receive great feedback, your review and rating indicate a major problem in GUI and MIDI implementation without much detail (hopefully not for the sake of just lowering the overall rating) We do listen to our users and implement requested features, and we would be happy to hear your requests and suggestions and try to implement them in our app - please contact us at team@fortamento.com Thanks, Yevgeny from Fortamento

Very limited for £4.99

A nicely packaged app, but the quality of the output is very limited, and gives only basic chord sequences with very “computer generated” sounding melodies. There’s no way to provide input into the generation, and you’re completely locked to diatonic chords and melody. There are a lot better tools out there.

Hi jm3159, Thank you for the honest review. Fortamento is not a performance tool and works much better as the initial spark for a song - after importing the output MIDI file to a DAW you are no longer limited in scales,chords,time signatures etc. It is definitely possible to provide input to both chords and melody while in the app (within the diatonic scale, as you have correctly mentioned). To do that, simply tap on one of the chords or the melody bars. Of course, we are working on improving Fortamento in all aspects, be that harmonic (4 note chords, different scales) or rhythmic (swing, time signatures, triplets), but such tasks are not trivial and take time and effort. Thank you and we hope you can make creative use of our app. Fortamento team

Wow! Great idea!

English:

This app is the best in his category! Use it to get some inspiration for a new song or with another apps to loop awesome melodies and chord progressions. Congrats from Brazil, developer!

Hi there! Thanks for the five stars! Glad you like the new update:) Thank you for your feedback! Fortamento team

Midi out rules

Really nice UI that works well on my iPhone and the new MIDI out means this is about to get a lot more use from me. Only thing I can think to improve is being able to change the order of the four note sequence windows. Thanks to the dev for continuing to add features to this very affordable generative tool.

Bring over the native iPad Pro 12.9 resolution already. I export melodies and chord structure into Cubasis2 all the time. KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK!! LOVE this latest update with the ability to edit/recall saved projects!

Hi there! Technically, it is possible to run Fortamento's iPhone version on iPad. We haven't started working on iPad support yet, but it is definitely on our roadmap. There are many improvements that iPad format allows, such as fitting the whole tune for editing in a single screen, so it's a bit larger project than a simple resizing of the layout. Stay tuned and thanks a ton for your rating and feedback!

Tried all the rest, this is the best!

I have found this app particularly helpful when I land in a “progression rut” or just need a nudge in a different direction. Super clean UI holding a rather flexible set of configurable parameters, making it by far the most customizable AND easy to use generative app I’ve come across. Could use a bit more of a instrument selection although I have grown fond of the pads.
I probably haven’t done more than star and app in 2 years, but I feel compelled to shout out the dev for an awesome, well thought out and awesome tool. Thanx guise!

Hi Kitty, Thank you for your feedback! Just wanted to update you that we have a new version out with new sounds, MIDI out (so you can use your own instruments) and other useful features. Thanks! Fortamento team

Exactly what I’ve been looking for

It took me a long time to find an app like this, I don’t know where it was hiding but it should certainly have a higher profile than it does.
This is really a brilliant way to write music for those who aren’t super comfortable with music theory and a great way to get some inspiration for those who are. Just randomly generate a melody (and accompanying chords) and you instantly have what is, more often than not, a brilliant starting point for you to flesh out and add your own touch.
While this app is fantastic as it is, I sincerely urge the developers to continue to work on it and I’m sure they could easily justify an increase in the price to reward their efforts, excellent job so far.

Thank you for your kind words, such feedback is very inspiring for us. Enjoy the new version! Fortamento team

Almost Perfect

I really like this app, it’s a wonderful ‘on the go’ songwriting tool! Fingers crossed that it gets enough traffic to add additional time signatures. Overall highly recommended and hope it brings inspiration to fellow songwriters out there!
