Tone Glide
Product Description
How It’s Innovative
Tone Glide delivers patented composition tools which make it easy for users of any skill level to create expert level basslines and melodies over any concurrent chord progression. It features two core functions; a Smart Scale and a Pattern Generator. The Smart Scale transposes notes to each chord, so that the user can keep their hand on the same five keys and always play notes that fit perfectly over concurrent chords. The Pattern Generator works in a similar manner where set pattern structures transposes to concurrent chords. Patterns take form in either arpeggios or melodies and feature multiple parameters that allow users a very high level of control for highly customized melodies and basslines. No other MIDI FX (hardware, DAW or plugin) deliver functions as advanced as these.

Most Inspiring Use Cases
Melodies are the most memorable aspects of music. For people like myself who are not high level keyboard players, it is very difficult to create high level melodies over different chord progressions. Tone Glide makes it very easy for me to accomplish this task and deliver very soulful melodies in my music.
Expansion Plans
Hopefully we can find the solutions we need to release Tone Glide. It’s innovative technologies would really benefit a wide range of people and would likely generate a lot of sales.
Commercialization
Unfortunately we have not released this program yet, as most DAWs do not directly support 3rd party MIDI FX. Releasing it in its current state would create a UX that is very problematic. We are currently looking for solutions to this problematic situation. It is very frustrating as the product is 98% of the way there and works well aside from a few things.
