Turn the external circle to change Key Signatures and Tonal centers, turn the internal circle to change Modes. iOS drag gestures and UI elements make the App look timelessly elegant. The Interval Bloom shows output on the piano keys while giving you the whole arrangement of intervals. Whenever you explore a chord, it is always in the context of the current Key Signature, Mode and Scale Type. One year anniversary update includes Adaptive Just Intonation, that automatically retunes to the best available tuning, or choose regular Just Intonation and tune to whatever note you want by dragging around the yellow triangle - you will discover that some tunings are completely unusable and that's the lesson. Also included other historic temperaments and the global pitch reference can be adjusted and locked. SCALES & MODES - Pentatonic, Major, and Harmonic Minor scale types - All 15 keys with transposition and 3 keys with Sharp/Flat switch - Major, Suspended, Blues minor, Blues Major, minor Modes for Pentatonic scale type - Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian modes for Major scale type - Augmented Major, Altered Dorian, Phrygian Dominant, Lydian Sharp 2nd, Super Locrian Double Flat 7, Harmonic minor, Locrian Natural 6 modes for Harmonic minor scale type - Visual color coding that actually represents the quality of each Mode. COMPREHENSIVE CHORD SYSTEM - Roman numeral chord analysis - Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished and Sus chords STANDARD MUSIC NOTATION - Standard notation output for notes you press on keyboard - Notes with note names inside and color coded Sharps/Flats to help you learn reading - All 15 Key Signatures for Pentatonic, Major and Harmonic minor scale types. - Real-time chord note display - Interactive Circle of Fifths for when you need that reference KEYBOARD WITH SOUND - Basic Traingle wave for clarity - Custom made FM synth presets designed to be more audible on phone speakers - Connect to Bluetooth speakers without losing the sound source INTUITIVE INTERFACE - Drag to rotate between Keys and Modes - Tap Roman numerals to explore chord progressions - Visual feedback with color-coded intervals - Smooth animations and responsive design TUNINGS Tap the tuning button to switch between Equal Temperament, Adaptive Just Intonation, fixed Just Intonation, three meantone temperaments (1/4, 1/3 and 1/6 comma) and four well temperaments (Werckmeister III, Kirnberger III, Vallotti and Young). Play a chord, switch tunings while it rings, and hear the difference. LEMONS AND WOLVES The flower now shows how pure the selected chord is: a Lemon emoji for every slightly sour interval, a Wolf emoji for every wolf, and the worst offender in cents. In fixed tunings you can watch the petals drift away from the pie's lines - that gap is how far out of tune the note is. REFERENCE PITCH Tune A4 anywhere from 380.0 to 444.0 Hz, with stops at historical pitches like 415.3 Hz Baroque, 430 Hz Classical and 440 Hz modern concert pitch. Lock the pitch to compare tunings without the pitch jumping. The Interval Bloom shows why Roman numeral chords work the way they do, how to change Modes, what happens when we transpose Modes, Keys, Chords. How is Blues minor related to Phrygian Dominant? Very easy to see on the Interval Bloom!
