Circle of 5ths Master IV

Lifetime musician’s companion!

• New Additions
- The Guide: You will discover regular patterns or algorithms.
Use the guide dots to understand the circle better and apply your own interpretations (e.g. simple math calculations). Simply rotate those small colored dots (not rotate the circle!!) to see how they relate with other keys (Hint: Double tap - return to original position).

- Intervals Tables:
All possible intervals are organized (over 290 intervals) in one page. Simply scroll up and down to see other intervals on the page. You can listen to the harmonic and melodic sound of the intervals with the musical notation and letters.

- Change background:
You can now change background. Try a different background whenever you want, it is fun! Feel fresh when you study - 7 textures and 40 plain colors (random) x 12 different colored circles = 564 combinations!

- Ornamentation & Spotlights

- Key Signature Quiz

- 12 Zodiac signs

- Circle of 5ths Analog Clock

· 8 points of the compass & angle degree display

This app breaks down intervals into as small units as possible in order to that you can achieve them in a step-by-step manner.
