Description
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.
——————— FEATURES ———————
USE IT RIGHT AWAY
Use ScaleMate right now! Built-in help is there for you whenever you want it.
LISTEN
ScaleMate lets you hear what scales sound like, by playing them up & down, or by playing random melodies that use them.
VISUALIZE WHAT YOU HEAR
ScaleMate shows every scale both linearly (for melodic understanding) and on the circle of fifths (for harmonic understanding).
FULL LIBRARY OF SCALES
ScaleMate knows all the scales you're ever likely to encounter.
A WELLSPRING OF KNOWLEDGE
Extensive info pages on 40+ of the most common & important scales, including practical advice and usage tips. (Over 12,000 words of content.)
USE IT TO TEACH
ScaleMate is perfect for projecting on a screen or sharing over zoom while you teach. Its animations let you show how one scale transforms into another, and it has special features (pointing, hiding/revealing) for educators.
AUTOMATIC SCALE RECOGNITION
Build your own scales and ask yourself "what if I make this change…" Whenever you produce a conventional scale, ScaleMate will automatically identify & title it.
ANIMATED IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES
Change between one scale and another and see the differences between them, visually animated before you.
SMART SPELLING
ScaleMate notates perfectly, for every scale in every key.
NOTE ROLES
Next to each note, ScaleMate displays its function—in numbers (3, 5, b7) or in solfege (Mi, Sol, Te) or not at all, according to your preference.
SIMPLE OR ADVANCED NOTATION
ScaleMate shows you double flats and double sharps whenever they're called for… unless you'd rather see simplified note names. Prefer never to see notes like Cb and E# either? You can have ScaleMate show them as B and F.
DIMINISHED HARMONY
Choose the option to color the notes in three colors so you can see which diminished seventh chord every note belongs to. Great for understanding diminished scales & chords and seeing how they relate to other scales too.
JAZZ CRED
