That is quite a meaningful and very kind word play. I am touched and impressed as I am a sucker for word play :-) Thanks for the kind words. Do you think you will use this trick or are harmonies not that important to your style?

[@elleh3472]

Will do!

[@TomZMusic]

@@elleh3472 I hope MMJ will work again soon. I've tried supporting stuff a few times in the last few days but got errors constantly.

Informative! Very useful hack! Great work! Love the backing tracks!

[@TomZMusic]

Thanks for noticing the backing tracks! I picked a few older ones that I always wanted to use.

[@NecroMon99]

I got to really get into the mechanics of this

[@TomZMusic]

Which mechanics do you mean?

[@NecroMon99]

I mean learning how to create chords. That one of my many challenges with DAWs is making chords

[@TomZMusic]

@@NecroMon99 That's one of the reasons I don't use DAWs or when I use them I feed them with an MMJ instrumental. To me, chords are the cornerstone of every song. If the chords suck, the best melody won't work. And punching in chords over various tracks of a song is so cumbersome. In a DAW if you have an 8 track song, you need to create the chords for each track and there is no way that the other tracks know which chords the other tracks are in. In MMJ you just go CCCC aaaa FFFF GGGG and 8 tracks play along in milliseconds.

Cool...now i can change the chords as i need.....no need to worry about the chords....it's a great video for all the jammers having chords problems....great job tom✌✌✌✌❤❤❤

[@Benzo97]

Excellent vid. Makes me wonder why these chords are not available in the app without buying other packs in the first place. This works flawlessly and if only MMJ let us choose the 24 chords we want from opening a new project right from the start lol. I remember trying this trick thinking I could get all of them in one screen but was still limited to 7 chords. Was not disappointed though as choosing any 7 chords I want is already a big deal and I really hope more people will use this trick your video to make some really impressive chord progressions with it! For those of you who thinks it's complicated, just do every step one by one as you're watching this. You'll never forget how it's done once you try ;)

[@TomZMusic]

I also tried more than 7 chords but it didn't work. But 7 is more than enough for any pop/rock/EDM song

[@TomZMusic]

And yes, it looks like the inability to configure the 7 chords you want when you start a project seems to be a conscious User Experience UX decision on MMJ's part, not a technical limitation

[@StableLies]

I agree as well.

[@nebeski9380]

Definitely going to be using this! Thanks Tom!

Hi Tom, hab es ausprobiert... kann es sein, dass mmj dem einen Riegel vorgeschoben hat? Iwi klaps ned...

[@TomZMusic]

Lieber Earflix, ganz dickes sorry, dass ich mich erst nach 4 Monaten melde - hatte eine kleine KZbin Auszeit :-) Ich habe es ehrlich gesagt schon länger nicht mehr probiert, und mit der neuen Premium-Version hats ich das ja (bei entsprechender Zahlungsbereitschaft) sowieso erübrigt. Aber nach meinem Kenntnisstand funktioniert es noch. Sonst alles gut bei dir?

[@RecordingStudio9]

If there are physically 7 audio files with set chords played, how does MMJ know to change/transpose each audio sample file to match the edited chord change?

[@TomZMusic]

That is what I asked myself as well and originally thought it could not possibly work. But after a lot of experimentation I can say: very often it works. In the video I talk about magic and "bending the laws of physics" and being cautious because of that. Transposing a sample on the fly would be one explanation

[@RecordingStudio9]

@@TomZMusic With MAGIX Music Maker Plus, you can change to any of the 24 chords. I think it uses the closest major or minor chord and transposes, so C#min is basically Dmin 1 semitone down oe Emaj is Fmaj 1 semitone down etc. This MMJ must be using similar or same algorithm. BTW. very informative video.

[@TomZMusic]

I agree with your assessment. I often transpose entire mmj tracks by one or multiple half tones, e.g. to Match a singer's key. Works beautifully

[@ukb175]

How could I drop or move up a set of chords if you understood what I mean.... Like when playing the piano dropping down to the next set of chords towards the left or stepping up to the right I'd like to say use the standard set of chords in MMJ then at some point in the track drop everything down on set

[@TomZMusic]

I have no idea what you mean

[@ukb175]

Not to worry Tom, I'm trying to get to adventurous haha

[@TomZMusic]

@@ukb175 did you mean turning around chords (5-1-3 instead of 1-3-5) or lowering them by an octave? both impossible in MMJ :-)

[@ukb175]

Yes I just looked up the meaning of octave and confirm the + & - of octave but sadly you have confirmed it impossible 😟 which is a shame as we could have had some very interesting results if we could

"Music Maker Jam" no es tan granular con sus acordes. Solo le permite configurar los 24 acordes más comunes (12 mayores y 12 menores). Muchos sonidos contienen el tono 7 o están disminuidos (por ejemplo, C5), pero esto está predefinido en el bucle y no se puede ajustar individualmente.

[@ukb175]

Hi Tom, i wonder if you could do a tutorial or maybe just help. I have found a site called chordU which extracts a chord progression s from KZbin. Although I understand how to translate most of the chords to fit MMJ, I'm still at a struggle understanding a few. In the following the 'b' if the bit I struggle to understand.... Bb F Cm Bb F Eb Bb Bbm F Cm My translation is as follows where ? Is where I'm stuck B? F c B? F E? B? b F c

[@TomZMusic]

I've been contemplating to to a tutorial like "how to get to the sharp notes on MMJ but it seemed too trivial. Fiundamentally: If a b is behind a chord, it refers to the black key BEFORE the note. if a # is behind a chord, it refers to the black key on the piano AFTER the note. Once you are aware of that, you'll know that C# and Db are 100% exactly the same. So in your case the solution is: A# F c A# F D# A# a# F c

[@ukb175]

@@TomZMusic Wow that makes sense, A visual tutorial if you had the time would be amazingly helpful as I as with many others don't or can't read musical notes and find visual learning easier to understand. We understand it's maybe time you don't have so it's cool if you don't however would be helpful 😁
