good morning guys,

I do not know what I'm doing wrong but if I ctrl + click on a key on the circle of fifth it does not open the palette with the chords in common with the current key highlined

The circle of fifth .. a selected scale with the mouse cursor on it gives a message :


Click to navigate key in Palette.


Douple (MUST DOUBLE ) click opens new palette


Ctrl+Click to select shared chords


 


But study the videotutorial about this modulation..because it is a bit complicated to find out what the shared chords are between 2 scales

hey juergen,

I was referring to opening a palette with the chord shared with other key higlened.

 

Double click on a key in the circle of fifth, open palette

Ctrl + click on a (different )key in the circle of fifth, open palette with shared chord with current key

 

I watched the tutorial but I don't know what I'm doing wrong, if I ctrl + click it does not happen anything

I think you must start first by choosing a "startkey" and freezing this, than Ctrl+Click on a "targetkey"--> the shared chords are now showing up ( use to control your right workflow do also agin the example modulation to get confidence ,see quote example ),than go further..
Recap: startkey --> shared chords( = pivot chords) -- establish targetkey ( by going to the tonic of that targetkey )


startkey -->pivotchords


                   pivotchords --> targetkey


to be complete...



The video example modulates from Dm to Bm
source key : Dm --> target key Bm


Dm --G-A  pivot chords ( G and A .. shared by Dm and Bm ) 


          G -A -> Gmaj7-F#(V) - Bm (I) ( Cadense from V-I )


 


I hope this will be improved that it is made easier to modulate as user of Synfire

ok, the problem was that I first need to open the palette with the current key then ctrl+click on different key on the circle of fifth. Now the palette will show the chords highlined.

 

thanks guys
