Jam

Print your composition as fretboard and keyboard patterns for rhythm accompaniment (chords) and melody improvisation or bass lines (scales). Harmony Navigator supports various string instruments and standard keyboard. 
You may also print complete harmony palettes, making you independent from the computer, e.g. when hitting the road.
Export
- Select an accompaniment preset and export your chord progressions as Standard MIDI Files (SMF) for further processing in a sequencer program. Combine your own "Styles" from existing factory presets (direct MIDI recording only available in MPS).
- Harmony Navigator already provides a selection of piano patterns, allowing beginners or non-painists to render arbitrary chord progressions as absolutely high-quality performances. The choice of available "Styles" is continously growing and is available to all users through Cognitone's Online Update Service free of charge.
