FretBoard Evolution: Chords & Scales app for iOS and Android
Dear all,
I've been quiet in this forum for a while, having shifted my focus from the Chapman Stick to piano and bass guitar. But now, I'm back to share some updates about an app that some of you may already be familiar with:
FretBoard Chords & Scales
This app helps visualize chords and scales on over 150 instrument tunings, including all official Chapman Stick tunings.
Initially released about 15 years ago for iOS, I brought out an improved version around 2008. It was a collaborative effort where I contributed the ideas, graphics, and app logic, while my partner, who later joined Apple, handled the coding. Eventually, we couldn't maintain frequent updates as I didn't fully grasp the code and he became too occupied with his new role.
Recently, I've taken the initiative to rebuild the project from scratch. This new hybrid version works for both iOS and Android with the same code base. Although it currently lacks some features from its previous incarnation, I'm committed to adding more functionalities over time, such as a custom tuning and appearance editor, since I now fully own and understand the code.
The iOS version is available in the Apple App Store:
