I’m a complete amateur when it comes to composition. My chord progressions are either mimicking other people or trial and error shots in the dark which is very time consuming.
Pocket Harmony provides an interactive map of harmonic relationships in the circle of fifths. Tapping (marimba) or double-tapping (drone) a key plays the tonic chord of a key, and adjusts the chords at the top of the page to reflect possible harmonies within that key. The user can select (on the ‘chords’ page) which harmonies should play at each scale degree. These chords are spelled for the user in the middle staff. Keys related to the principal key appear in full color, giving the user a sense of – and an ability to hear – the harmonic reach and distance of each mode. We hope you will find it useful on your musical travels.
This forum has never steered me wrong before. I’m just looking for some kind of chord progression app to help narrow down the possibilities on which chord comes next. Any help would be appreciated. From what I’ve seen, I’m thinking the Suggester App is what I need. Thank you.
not quite what you are looking for, but I love playing around with this to find som great chord progressions to use with arp: http://codepen.io/jakealbaugh/full/qNrZyw/
It covers a lot of the theory that forms the basis of most modern musical styles. I knew a lot of it going in but I didn’t really understand the whys of it all.
I think they’re reallywell explainedand help demystify the topic in a way that inspires you to put your new found.knowledge to use in your compositions.

That's one awesome piece of software right there. Thanks for sharing the link.
Not to derail the thread, but this is what I wanted to do with my iPad and Op. Why wouldn’t it work? I’ve tried different connection kits,ipads, cables, midi channel set correctly and Op set to midi. What am I missing? Is my op broken? It kinda works but notes don’t always sound and ultimately I get a hung note, kinda like feedback and I have to switch to drum mode to get it to stop.

turn off USB charging on your OP-1…can’t remember how at this point but that should solve problem I think
but that should solve problem I think
