This app is great BUT
This is an awesome app and I’d use it more but I really hope update support didn’t end for this app. Please consider the button pressing and see if you can make the buttons press easier when you want to hear the vowels.
Thank you, I literally switched from android to iPhone just to use this app! I hope you keep updating it

Dear Kyle, thank you for this very moving and satisfying comment on MelodEar. I love your imputs, and though we already have a full list , we will definitely get inspired by your ideas. In your wishlist you can though , there are some tricks to approach what you'd like to do : - If you want to work on a certain section of the song, use the looper ( purple stripe with little arrows on each side) to spot the section you'd like and have it looped. If for some reason you really need to make this section a separate song, just 'rename' it in the library and then edit the chord progression removing the parts that you dont want. And yes you' re right : being able to directly name sections would be -Yes we definitely created 2 major new features to be able to create your own chord and your own mode ! The compatibility/and transpostion between chords and modes will be automatically taken care of. This will be out in a few days from now. -moveable do system vs fixed do : in the current major features that will be out in a few days , we also did the 1st step of it : providing the language of Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. I know that your main point is about the referential. This will be the second step for us, and it's on top of the list : it's quite a big structural thinking to bring for us because we need to learn MelodEar to recognize Major key changes(when the referential would move to the new key) from just minor key changes to neihbouring keys ( when the referential would not move). But we definitely are on it. For the rest feel free to write us using the support contact. Thank you so much, David & MelodEar.
Excellente application

Merci Almosig pour votre commentaire chaleureux ! Belle aventure avec MelodEar, n' hésitez pas à nous tenir au courant de votre expérience. David & MelodEar
Brilliant !
MelodEar works very simply. You enter a chord progression and choose a scale for each chord. It displays the scales and let you play or sing over them. As you play or sing, it listens to you and highlights your note within the current scale. That’s all !
Using MelodEar, you can approach a chord progression in many ways. You can sing scales, arpeggios, or interval patterns. You can focus on one chord at a time, or loop a few chords within the progression. There is really no limit !

Thank you so much David !

Merci cher Barth ! David
refus des dev d’ajouter l’option pour les instruments transpositeurs
Bien cordialement
Je sais que c’est une appli pour les chanteurs, mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi les dev refusent d’ajouter l’option de transposer les notes pour les instruments transpositeurs… Ils jugent cela inutile et pédagogiquement contre-productif… Ils m’ont répondu que ce n’est pas avec mes 35€ qu’ils pourront ajouter cette option… mais que cette application a beaucoup de succès, et que la Berklee de Boston suite à sa découverte a demandé 2 masterclasses pour les élèves et les professeurs de jazz de la Berklee pour expliquer cette application…Je ne vois pas le rapport avec ma demande…
Effectivement, je vais rester sur ma certitude de l’intérêt d’ajouter cette option…
Bref…
Donc il n’y aura pas de possibilité de transposer en Bb ou Eb, j’aurais aimé l’utiliser avec la trompette Bb et le sax Eb… (voir les notes et accords réels de la trompette ou du sax alto et entendre les accords correspondants pour pouvoir jouer)
pour le prix il y a peu de standards….
En comparaison ireal pro coûte 15€… oui, ces 2 applis n’ont pas la même fonction, c’est juste le prix que je compare…
il n’y a pas de rythmique, juste les accords plaqués avec un son de piano midi et un métronome, mais c’est suffisant pour travailler…
les transcriptions ne sont pas utiles (il y en a de nombreuses analysés sur youtube gratuites…)
Bonne appli, bonne idée pour travailler l’oreille pour l’improvisation Jazz, pour les chanteurs et les instrumentistes en ut
Possibilité d’essayer 3 jours gratuitement l’intégralité de l’appli avant de l’acheter.
J’effacerais ce commentaire et mettrai 5 étoile si un jour cette option est ajoutée et je pourrais alors conseiller cette application à mes amis.
Response from developer
Bonjour Cécile, nous ne refusons pas de le faire. C' est sur notre liste. Il y a simplement de nouvelles fonctionnalités à venir en priorité ( que vous apprécierez j' espère) : l' implémentation d' un système tonal fixe. Mais la fonction transpo viendra, merci de votre patience. Nous apprécierions beaucoup que vous releviez la note. On vous tient au courant. Cordialement, David.
Indispensable
J’en avais rêvé
Désormais utilisée quotidiennement !
Merci 🙏

Merci , Dr Pom ! nous vous souhaitons un bon travail avec MelodEar

Amazing!!!
THE future for eau training
Response from developer
Hey JazzGeek34 ! thanks for this beautiful comment !
Certainement utile mais…
De plus l’édition ne répond pas sur la version sur un iPad Air 2. Après l’essai en trial 3 jours je ne poursuivrai pas car le prix n’est pas approprié.
It’s been a while I was looking for an app like that.
Response from developer
Hey Skuval, thanks for your very kind and thoughtful comments! Parts , if not all of your suggestions are part of the features list we want to implement in the future. Thanks for your patience ! Have fun !
A must for Jazz singers !!
This is gonna cure my RealBook addiction.

This app is what I’ve been waiting for
Some wishlist features would be an interactive circle of fifths, the ability to record and export sections, naming sections (verse, chorus etc), I see you guys are working on edit features for chords and scales which will be cool… my biggest wonder is if there was anyway to incorporate moveable do vs fixed do? It seems you guys have a fixed do solfège format, any thoughts on being able to toggle between the two? I’d love to hear more variety of voicing for the vowels and voices as well. I know that would require recording more voices to add into the app, but just curious how that could be expanded if at all.
I’ll let you know if anything else comes to mind, but beside wishlist features, this app is changing the way I write and practice vocals and helping me better understand the relationship between modes and how music is connected as a whole for each degree. I look forward to any updates and improvements to this already stellar musical tool. I would love to learn more about your company and any opportunities in future work, I have tons of ideas for taking music theory to applications and teaching / learning music in new and intuitive ways. I’m entirely self taught and recently taught myself minimal coding to build a rough application of my own, a music theory piano of sorts, whilst teaching myself music theory. I used my theory piano to teach myself theory, and I’d love to share this more and expand on it, perhaps one day even have it incorporated within your application lineup or even part of MelodEar. I am eager to see what is next for MelodEar.
Thank you very much,
Kyle

Hi Bart ! Thanks for your props ! Keep going :)
L’application qu’il vous faut !!
Bravo pour cette application novatrice. Elle me permet à la fois de m'aventurer sur un travail pratique, mais aussi à me tenter à créer des grilles en références aux modes explorés.

Merci beaucoup !
Doesn't work for me
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for reaching out. First I want to say that implementing a tonal system as well is on our list ;) Second , the content of your comment is ok, but I'm just wondering why you harm us rating the app 1 star, just because it doesn't match your way of thinking. Does it mean the app is low-quality ? we are a small company and those low notes do have an impact for the development on the app. I would really apreciate you consider this and do the right thing. Thank you so much, David & MelodEar.
