    Default Randomizing changes

    On the iOS app, can you randomize the changes to preset songs?

    For example the ii-V-I song, instead on havingitstart on c everytime and go through fourths, can you have it sample a random set of 2-5-1's for each load?

    .???

    Can you add a random or shuffle feature for changes?
    For instance, i would like to create 12 seperate 2-5-1's, and instead of ordering them in the circle if 5ths as in your practice song I would like to randomize in the editor the order in which they are played back

    Check out the PRACTICE feature (graduation-hat icon)

    While not random or shuffle, you can set a chart (or looped section) to auto-transpose either up or down a selected interval each repeat.

    Try going up a #4th each time....

    If you like, you can also have the tempo speed up as well.

    Don't forget to turn it OFF when you're done. (Don't ask....)

    Default Random key? (Feature request)

    Is it possible to transpose randomly, not just in preset steps? I can't seem to find the option, and a forum search yields nothing.

    Regards

    If you mean the automatic transposition practice feature (graduation hat icon), no. A defined interval must be selected.

    Yes, exactly that.

    Is there a reason for this? It's quite a shame to be without that option.

    Cool idea.

    Another one for "improvisation training" is a Random Chord Program ...where the User sets the Duration usually 1 to 4 Bars of the ' Mystery Chord' and ANY CHORD may play for that time.

    The Player does not attempt to identify the Chord ( though he could )..but the actual idea is to Play and start on any Note and resolve to a Chord Tone or Extension in Real Time...
    Then after another Bar or Two- new chord etc.

    Resolution of Phrases to chord tones and extensions is the Basis of all Improvising .

    With the Random Chord Generator - the Player could either Identify the Chord and Play ( also good for ear training )
    OR walk the tightrope and just start playing chromatically and other ways till He lands on a chord tone or just 'play what he hears' nearly instantaneously- the Mind always generates 'good' notes.

    Default Random key transpositions

    I'd like to see a "random" button for key transpositions in the PRACTICE tab. I think randomly going through all 2 keys would be great for ear training practice

    Default Random key changes

    Hello,

    It's both a question (if this feature does exist and I missed it) and a feature request..

    They are in the forums (the jazz forums) number of file with listing of II-V-I and other sequence in "any key".. they are in "any key" but always in the same order of key.

    iReal Pro allows for a change of key and that's great.

    Working on a chords grid is best if it is possible in any key

    Is there a way to have a random key change ?

    If this features doesn't exist I'd love in a future release to have the option to randomly change the key every N charts...

    Merry Christmas to all iRealers

    Luc
