Like it - I will be using this with some of the classes I teach.

I have a couple of requests (I know it says fork it at the top, but I've taken a look and would be way, way out of my depth!):

1 - modes of the other scales given (melodic and harmonic minor)

2 - a less daunting way of selecting arpeggios - possibly by selecting what would be the first note then removing that from the available options? I love the diagrams, but the massive table is somewhat daunting.

3 - the ability to export a MIDI file of a single run of the chord progression.

Nice work though, lots of interest and fun to be had in exploring the possibilities locked up inside the scales/chords.

Hi,

I've begun using Cthulhu as a plugin, which works nicely as a MIDI input device :

There's an option to 'lock' certain notes when you try out harmonic progression options.

On the MIDI file export, you could probably use https://github.com/grimmdude/MidiWriterJS for that
