Tips and Tricks for the ModeExplorers
|
Below are some tips and tricks to get even more out of your ModeExplorer.
|
Turn your ModeExplorer for Windows® into a Giant Chord Encyclopedia!
If you create a chromatic scale in the User Defined section of the ModeExplorer for Windows®, it will
create all the chord shapes it knows on every tonic. For the Mando ModeExplorer for Windows®, this amounts to 12
tonics * 57 chord types, * 4 inversions, or 2,736 chord shapes! And for the magnachops ModeExplorer for Windows® (for standard-tuned guitar),
you get an additional 3 ways to modify each inversion - that's 4 * 2,736 chord shapes, which is a whopping 10,944
chords shapes in all!
1) First open the User Defined section of the tree.
|
|
2) Then drag and drop any scale from another part of the tree into User Defined/Modes.
|
|
3) Click on that new scale to expand it.
|
|
4) Then right click on Scale Intervals - The popup menu will display - Click Edit
Intervals.
|
|
5) The Scale Editor displays. Check ALL check boxes - This creates a 12 tone chromatic scale.
|
|
6) Give your scale a name, like "Chromatic", and click the Save button.
|
Now explore the thousands of chords available to you. Another tip: You can change the tonic of your Chromatic scale
to force the chord names to flats or sharps. For example, a C# tonic will use sharps, and a Bb tonic will use flats.
