Description
You can hear when a chord does something. It lifts you. It pulls you back home. It takes you somewhere new. Naming what you just heard is the hard part. Meet the Harmony Wheel.
The wheel listens to your mic or uses your MIDI keyboard. It works on piano or guitar and even on recorded music (with clear harmonic movement). It identifies chords, contextualizes them within a key, and displays what it thinks those chords are doing using the Beat Kitchen Ten Chord Toolkit (thoroughly explained within a guidebook included in this app): the one (I) you keep coming back to, the IV that opens things up, the V that wants to resolve, a V/vi setting up a detour, a bVII pulled from the parallel minor. It lights the wedge that explains what's happening while you play.
Think of it as a tuner for harmony — point it at the music and it names the role each chord is playing, not just the chord itself.
What it does (v1.0)
Hears chords from your mic in real time, right on your device — nothing leaves your phone
Labels the wheel by function, not just by chord name: I, ii, IV, V, V/vi, bVII, and the rest
Records what you played so you can study the path a progression took
Tap any wedge to hear the chord
Takes MIDI in, wired or over Bluetooth, with a built-in synth
Locks to your key so the wheel orients to the music you're in
A Learn tab that walks through what you're looking at
If you've reached for a circle of fifths, a Camelot wheel, or a key finder before, you're in the same neighborhood — except this one works in real time, while the music is still playing.
Who it's for
Producers, songwriters, students, and anyone who can tell a progression is doing something to them but can't always say what. You don't need to read music. You need to be curious about why a few chords in a row can move you. It's theory you can hear before you can spell it.
Pro Pack (coming in v1.1)
More modes are in the works and will arrive later as an optional upgrade inside the app.
Beat Kitchen is a school that teaches harmony by ear and by function first. Harmony Wheel puts that same way of listening on your phone.
What's New in Version 1.0.1
Critical fix: repairs an issue where some devices could fail to detect chords, and makes detection more accurate and responsive overall — especially suspended and power chords. New: a tuning offset for instruments not tuned to concert pitch (A440).
