Superseded by 0.9.0.

Install: open the installer in Chrome or Edge; it offers this version. Step 2 keeps your settings when updating.

Scales

  • 86 built-in scales (61 new): pentatonics, six-note scales, Hungarian, Neapolitan, Persian, Indian thaats, bebop, Messiaen's modes and more. All are in Settings → Play → Scale.
  • Families on M1–M7: Settings → Play → Family. Choose Major (as before), Melodic minor, Harmonic minor or Harmonic major, and M1–M7 play its seven modes. For example, M4 in Melodic minor is Lydian dominant.
  • Favourites: keep up to 128 scales on the board. With Settings → Play → Arrows on Scale, ▲/▼ step through them.
  • Scale library in the web editor:
    • browse by family, or from bright to dark;
    • find by notes: click them, or play them on any MIDI keyboard;
    • one note away: the scales you get by moving one note a semitone;
    • play a scale on the board, add it to favourites, or copy it to your own slots.

Strum

  • Feel: Settings → Strum → Feel time (each note up to 40 ms late, at random) and Feel vel (up to ±30 velocity, at random) give a looser, more human strum.
  • Guitar voicing, now on six real strings: standard tuning, open-chord shapes on the bottom row (C x32010, G 320003, D xx0232…), and positions up the neck on the rows above.
  • Capo: Settings → Strum → Capo (frets 1–11) keeps the key but changes the shapes and sound.

Please check: does the guitar voicing sound like a guitar, with and without the capo? Does the feel sound natural? Send a test report.
