## What is ScaleMaster Pro?

Just started piano lessons? Or maybe you picked up that cool looking headless guitar from an auction site and surprise, it's a baritone and in D! Or perhaps you've been playing violin for a while, but that new piece has you wondering about the harmonic minor scale. And if you picked up a mandolin this time instead of yet another guitar, you certainly want to see how your favorite pentatonic is played on that slim fretboard. Starting out can be rough, but learning continues as our interests evolve and that is fantastic.

ScaleMaster is your go-to companion for learning scales on your instrument, and no matter how we look at it, scales will remain an essential part of our musical journey as beginners or professionals. Seeing any scale in music notation and on your instrument at the same time is pretty cool. No need to translate between the two. The notation shows you what to play, and your instrument shows you where your fingers go. Whether you're just starting out or need a quick reference, it's all right there.

As you practice, you'll want to speed things up, slow them down. Maybe you've got your fingers organized after a couple weeks of working that harmonic minor mode, or you're working through a tricky passage. Adjust the tempo and keep pushing yourself. Save your scales too, that E Blues scale you've been working on, the exercises for your band's repertoire, or the scales you're exploring for that chord progression that keeps showing up. Each scale document remembers your instrument and where you left off. And that includes positions because for some of us an F Mixolydian scale looks very different in 5th position than it does in 3rd.

But as for help with improvising, this is where ScaleMaster really shines. That Bbm7b5 chord keeps coming up, and you're tired of that same old scale. So, find the scales that work. Hear how they sound, and flip back and forth between different possibilities until something clicks. It's not about memorizing every scale, it's about discovering the ones that speak to you and expanding your vocabulary when you need it.

The beauty of ScaleMaster is that it adapts to what you need. If you're a pianist, you get a full 88-key interface. Guitar players get the 24 frets they want. String players can set custom tunings, that detuned E string on your violin, your new five-string banjo, or that Open D tuning for that one song. And when you're ready to work on reading music, switch clefs and practice with the same scales you know by ear. It all connects, and it's all focused on your instrument.


• 211 scales in every key, from major and minor to modes and beyond
• See scales in notation and on your instrument simultaneously
• Adjustable tempo for practice at your own pace
• Save scale documents with your instrument and position
• Full support for your instrument, piano, guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, violin, viola, cello, or double bass
• Custom tunings when you need them
• All common clefs for reading practice
• Transpose any exercise to any key

Oh, and make sure to check out ScaleMaster on your iPad as well, with full Stage Manager support and background audio. If you're into MIDI and synths that is. Your ScaleMaster app fully adjusts to the strengths of either device and it grows with you. Start with that first scale, explore different options for that chord progression, build your collection of exercises, and when you're ready, dive deeper into notation or theory. Here to help you make sense of all those new terms, symbols, and finger patterns. You've got this.

### 1/5 — Inextricable

*2023-09-22, version 1.3.5*

Le parcours du combattant ! je vais me mettre à la peinture

### 3/5 — Évolution souhaitée

*2021-03-16, version 1.2.4*

* Ajouter les arpèges qui (sauf erreur) semblent absents 
*  Un mode game pour s’entraîner sur la composition des modes et gammes en posant les notes sur l’instrument interface (choix des gammes à interroger, tonalités, octaves, exercices aléatoires dans les choix retenus....)

### 4/5 — Gut, aber ...

*2020-12-22, version 1.2.4*

... einige der gesampelten Instrumente könnten besser klingen.
Vor allem hätte ich hier gerne einen schöneren Klang der Akustikgitarre (Nylon).
Ich gebe 3,5 Sterne, da es einige Schwächen gibt. Trotzdem gefällt mir die App.

### 1/5 — Please fix top note of scale!

*2020-12-03*

Second to last note is duplicated on staff. 

If selecting a two octave scale (the E scale, for example), the “middle” E is not even notated, and the D note (preceding where it should be) is duplicated. PLEASE FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review of ScaleMaster. Not everyone has the background and we really appreciate the time. The issue you are describing occurred in select scale patterns when in exercise mode and has long been fixed. It only occurred when displaying 2 octaves if the key was flat (e.g. Eb). Music notation is complex to say the least and we feel awful the error. In the future, please consider using that big "Report a Bug" button in ScaleMaster for simple matters like this or just email us. We can help so much faster once we know about something. Thank you ; )

### 1/5 — Too note on most scales is wrong

*2020-08-01*

The top note in most scales is written incorrectly. It sounds the correct tone but is written as just a duplicate of the “leading tone.” That is not conducive to learning music notation. $5 not well spent.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review of ScaleMaster. We do appreciate it. And, yes, you found a bug. A very sneaky one. So sorry about that. When in exercise mode some 2 octave patterns were affected when in Eb, Ab or Db. In those cases the top note would be off by a millimeter. Ouch and thanks. In the future please consider using that huge "Report a bug" button in ScaleMaster for the fastest turnaround in a simple matter like this. Or just email us at support at rogame dot com.

### 1/5 — Rausgeworfenes Geld für iPad-Nutzer

*2020-06-15, version 1.2.1*

Die App läuft auf meine iPad (Dezember 2019, iOS 13.5.1) nicht, sie schließt sofort wieder. Will man das Problem melden, wird man ins Forum des Entwicklers geleitet; nach einer Registrierung: kein Post abzusetzen, also kein Support. Da das Problem mindestens seit September 2019 bekannt ist, scheint es dem Entwickler gleichgültig. Auch wenn die App auf dem iPhine läuft: Dafür habe ich sie nicht gekauft. Denen, die die App auf einem iPad nutzen möchten, rate ich: Finger weg.

### 2/5 — Not working on iPad Pro

*2019-09-09, version 1.1.7*

Hello there,
I was happy with Scale Master Pro until I found out that it is not working on my iPad Pro 11 from 2018 (A1980).
Will there be a way to fix it?
Best regards
aleX

### 2/5 — Fail

*2019-01-01*

Will not start up on the new 2018 iPad Pro, crashes imediately

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to review ScaleMaster. Reviews help us improve the app, add new features and at times of course correct issues. There was indeed an issue running the app on the 2018 iPad Pro initially. In general we try to anticipate new devices with updates long before they hit the market. That year we missed something. Our apologies.

### 4/5 — Sehr gut!

*2016-12-11, version 1.0.3*

Gefällt mir gut! Einfach zu bedienen, tolle Optik und absolut hilfreich wenn man sich mit diesem Thema beschäftigen möchte.
