Type the changes. Get the bassline. Most bassline tools ask you for a scale. Continuo asks for your chords. Type a progression โ slash chords and all โ pick a style, and Continuo writes a line that actually plays those changes: chord tones on the strong beats, approach notes into the next chord, and a register that sits where a bass player would sit. HOW IT WORKS โข Type your changes one bar at a time, separated by | โ or start from one of 18 built-in sets: 12-bar blues, rhythm changes, ii-V-I, doo-wop, montuno vamp, bossa turnaround, 7/8 vamp and more. โข Slash chords like Am/C pin the bass note, so the line plays exactly what you wrote. โข Pick a style, then shape it: Density (sparse to busy), Motion (plain roots to passing and chromatic tones), and Swing (straight to triplet). โข Tap Next take to cycle through ranked alternatives, best first. Tap any chord in the strip to swap, move, or stretch it โ the line rewrites around your edit. โข Undo steps back over anything that changed the line โ an edit, a preset, an import, a take, even a slider. WHAT'S INSIDE โข Seven styles: root and fifth, walking, funk/R&B, tumbao, bossa nova, reggae one-drop, and Motown. โข Seven instruments that change what gets played, not just the tone: 4-, 5- and 6-string bass guitar, upright, 808/sub, synth bass, and chiptune. โข Any time signature โ 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 5/4, 7/8, 5/8, 11/8 and more. Every style works in every meter. โข Import changes from a MIDI or MusicXML file. โข MIDI export, optionally with a reference chord track โ plus MusicXML with chord symbols for MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico, and Finale. โข A bass-clef notation preview with chord symbols. โข Fully offline. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no in-app purchases. โข Private by design โ Continuo collects nothing. Your music never leaves your device unless you export it. Continuo is by Songdeed. Pairs with Mediant, our chord-progression app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Continuo at $4.99 against Nulltrack's $7.99. Continuo also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
