Tips and Tricks for the ModeExplorers
|
Below are some tips and tricks to get even more out of your ModeExplorer.
|
Turn your ModeExplorer into a Chord Encyclopedia!
If you create a chromatic scale in the User Defined section of the ModeExplorer, it will
create all the chord shapes it knows on every tonic. For the Mando ModeExplorer, this amounts to 12
tonics * 57 chord types, * 4 inversions, or 2,736 chord shapes! And for the magnachops ModeExplorer for 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.
