The Groveland Expedition Outfitters are here! - Feb 24, 2008
You probably won't find anything like this anywhere - Everything a ModeExplorer needs to survive the journey - Theory tools that help you to identify chords,
scales, and what to play on chord progressions. This stuff is instrument agnostic, so bring all your musician friends!
"I've got a cluster of notes and I don't know what to call it..." I've got a cluster of chords to solo over and I don't know what my options are..."
"What makes up that scale?" "What chords are found on each degree of that scale?" We can give you the
answers to these and a zillion other common questions... For free!

Chart Exchange is growing - Feb 12, 2007
Watch the Chart Exchange when your ModeExplorer is online - New tunes are being added all the time.
The Chart Exchange is there to provide practice tools for your soloing. Let the ModeExplorer play backup
for you! Lately we've added chord progressions in fifths so you can practice perpetual II-V's. We have also
added a few jazz-blues progressions so you can exercise your mixolydian, symmetric, and harmonic minor scales.
That in addition to the assortment of jazz progressions...

Mando ModeExplorer 2.0.* enhancements and magnachops
ModeExplorer 2.0.* enhancements are released! - Feb 6, 2007
We're always enhancing the ModeExplorers, and registered owners know they can upgrade.
We've had discussions with our friends in music about chord naming, chromatics and accidentals, and when do all those
double-sharps and double-flats actually obscure the music and when do they help. The latest enhancements include what we call
'enharmonic reduction'. That's a fancy way of saying we give you the strict, formal, technically correct names for chords as
well as the more informal names you'll see in chord charts. So you'll know when your B ma7 is a Cb ma7 and your G# ma7 is really an F### ma7!

We were at SIGGRAPH 2005, and they asked us back!
Every year the Association of Computing Machinery holds their International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques.
We're looking forward to one particular highlight of the conference: The
Guerilla Studio! This year it's being held in Boston, and the Mando and Magnachops ModeExplorers will be there,
helping guide conference explorers through the how-to of mando and guitar in hands-on mandolin and guitar exhibits!
