ScaleMate - Visualize Harmony

ScaleMate is a modern, interactive reference to jazz harmony, brought to you by composer/educator Anton Schwartz.

ScaleMate lets you…

…HEAR SCALES
conventionally or as random melodies.

…VISUALIZE SCALES
in ways that correspond to how we need to make sense of them.

…READ & LEARN
about how different scales relate, and how to use them in improvising, through expert, built-in advice.

…MANIPULATE SCALES
while you listen, so you can see and hear the effects that changes make while you make them.

—————————————————

ScaleMate is a reference that shows you & plays for you any scale you wish…. But that's just the beginning. ScaleMate helps you hear & understand scales and harmony more deeply… by teaching you to visualize scales in ways that match what they sound like.

Imagine… Wouldn't it be nice to have a single image to understand all the modes of the major scale?
Ever wonder why the modes are ordered so oddly, hopping between major & minor & dominant?
Or notice that the Altered Scale is the "darkest", most minor sounding of all possible dominant scales?
Or that its tritone-substitution, the Lydian Dominant Scale, is the "brightest" of them all?
Ever notice that the minor pentatonic scale is a mode of the major pentatonic scale and wonder whether there were any other useful pentatonic modes?
Ever notice that the major pentatonic scale (and its modes) are the only 5-note scale that doesn't contain any half steps or tritones?

ScaleMate shows you scales in a way that makes these observations natural and immediate… and plays you the results too.

Or ever just wonder what the definition of a dominant chord is and which common scales can be used for them? ScaleMate's got you covered.
