Solarbeef
Expensive and pointlessly complicated. When it ADVERTISES that it will it automatically transpose exercises in all 12 keys, it neglects to mention that it changes the end of each exercise drastically from key to key..effectively making it a DIFFERENT EXERCISE. I’ve never seen this in any music exercise book and I own a lot. It can catalog and transmogrify 2000 scales but can’t even do basic transposing right.
Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Just to clarify for other readers: the app automatically adapts exercises to fit within the playable range of the selected instrument. When a transposed pattern would go beyond that range, the app intelligently adjusts the ending so the full exercise still fits.If you prefer every exercise to remain identical in all 12 keys, simply choose an instrument with a wider range (like Grand Piano) and enable “Extended Range.” This way, the app will keep each pattern note-for-note.We designed this feature to make sure every instrument can play safely within its range, and it’s working as intended. We hope this clears up the confusion — and if this improves your experience, we’d be grateful if you considered updating your review. There are also tutorials in the app that walk you through this setup step by step.
Please Fix playback on MACOS.
