1 Preface
Creative Music has developed a revolutionary method enabling keyboard musicians to
quickly harmonize a line of notes with infinite chord changes. Imagine being able to play
a different chord on every melody note! Whether or not it is gospel, jazz, contemporary
etc., Creative Music has published five volumes (1200 pgs) of instructional material that
illustrates pictorially in color with easy-to-follow printed text instructions, of how to
harmonize music of your choice with advanced voicings. The system is such that no two
musicians will come up with the same resulting harmonization.
Their patent pending technology has been internationally acclaimed by users who
virtually witness that the new learning premise is categorically reinventing and
rejuvenating how music should be taught henceforth. The initial distribution of The
Adventures in Harmony Course has set off a sustained frenzy of international sales
orders from both professional and amateur performers. As a subsequent result, Creative
Music now uniquely occupies and satisfies a new segment of music artisans that have
not yet been fully recognized because their departure from long-standing static
methodology to a fluid self-styled mode where discovery and reaching for higher
individual performance plateaus is beyond the scope of ordinary expectation.
The users of The Adventures in Harmony course materials have been consistently
reporting how the patent pending system has enhanced their ability to easily create, on
the fly, complex chord harmonies and exciting progressions. The new learning principal
is presented in an easy-to-follow format and goes against the grain of traditional music
instruction.
Our mission at Creative Music Ventures LLC., is to focus on quickly getting the musician
to the end-result of playing beautiful advanced harmonies, without being burdened by
the intricacies and complications of music theory. We want to give the musician a path
of least resistance to reach this goal as quickly as possible. We have already done all the
dirty work and analysis of chord structures, harmonies, progressions and their
interrelationships. We have filtered all that down to a methodology that you can use, to
consistently and easily achieve beautiful harmonization in your own music without
being bogged down a fishing though the previous 1500 years of music theory.
Music education has not changed in the last century, and Creative Music is on the
forefront of turning that around. The "Adventures in Harmony Course" is re-inventing
how music has been taught for the last century. Our instructional method goes against
the grain of all past music education teaching methodologies. In fact we are proud of
Page 5
this "invention/discovery" and the internals of our system and technique are proprietary
and were developed through years of computer analysis and modeling.

The result after our harmonization process will be the following beautiful version

3.1
The free app from the AppStore includes the chord groups Basic Chords and Sample
Demo Chords.
The chords group Sample Demo Chords contains sample chords from our chord
groups Jazz Chords, Black Gospel Chords and Trina Washington Chords.
The chord group Basic Chords contains very simple I IV and V chords that follow the
traditional rules of harmony and will allow you to harmonize any song with simple
chords.
Page 9
To select chord groups, first go to the OPTIONS screen by hitting the Options tab at
the bottom of the app. Then choose Set Chord Group.
For this example set the Jazz Chords switch to the on position.
If you do not have the Jazz Chords group installed on your device you may choose the
option Add Chord Groups to visit our storefront and add that chord group. Or you may
follow the same procedure that we describe here with a chord group that is already
installed on your device.
After any options are added from our storefront, you must completely close the
application and restart in order for the new features to be installed. Simply hitting the
HOME button does not restart the application.

It is possible to hear the chords that are in this App, however this App alone does not
make any sound.
You must add the CORE MIDI option to this app and connect the app to a sound source.
The CORE MIDI option is available on the options tab by hitting Add Chords and Features
Version 2.0 of the app will allow you to hear the chords through the device speakers
alone without connecting an additional sound source. Version 2.0 comes with a default
piano voice as part of the CODE MIDI option.
A sound source may be any of the following:
1) Another MIDI capable app on your device that produces sound. There are apps
in the AppStore that you can install on your device that can be used to hear the
chords in PIANO HARMONY PRO.
These apps simulate various instruments (pianos, organs, etc) and will allow you
to hear the chords right on your ipad/iphone/ipod.
If you choose this option you will not need to purchase a MIDI interface or MIDI
cables since the sound is coming right from the device
One app we recommend is Organ+ that simulate a Hammond Organ with
drawbars.
2) A MIDI Keyboard
You may connect PIANO HARMONY PRO to your MIDI capable keyboard with
MIDI Cables
3) A MIDI capable app on your PC/MAC
One example app that runs on the MAC is GarageBand. You can connect PIANO
HARMONY PRO to your MAC over WIFI.
Page 50
If you are connecting your IPAD/IPOD/IPHONE to a sounds source with MIDI Cables, you
must purchase a MIDI interface for your device
You may then hear any of the chords in this app by simply tapping on the chord to hear
it play. Tapping on the chord again will cause it to turn off.
See the MIDI section for more details

You must add the CORE MIDI option to this app to hear the default piano voice through
the device speakers.

14.1 Organ
Legato
When the organ legato switch is turned on, this will allow smooth chord changes
between chords that have notes in common. This is similar to playing chords on an
organ. Notes that are common between successive chords are not re-struck.
Example:
In moving from a chord that has the notes
F A C
to
E G C
The C is not re-struck, the note C is held down in making this chord change
When the legato switch is turned off, all three notes are re-struck again in making this
chord change.

14.2 MIDI
Octave Transposition
This setting will control the octave of MIDI notes that are played.
This will shift all of the chords up or down an octave at a time.
Depending on what sound you choose on your MIDI sound source, the sound may be
played on too low or too low of an octave. You may need to adjust this octave setting.
NOTE: Depending on your MIDI sound source and the sound that
you choose, this octave setting may be too high or too low and you
may hear NO SOUND until you adjust this setting.

14.3 Using
There are many apps available in the AppStore that you may download to your device to
hear sound from PIANO HARMONY MIDI PRO.
When using an app on your device to hear sound, you will not need any MIDI cables
since the sound coming right from your ipad/ipod/iphone.
NOTE: When using another app for sound the quality of the sound will be nowhere near
the sound quality that you would get if you connected a real instrument.
The sound quality will only be as good as the simulated sound with the app. The sound
generation capabilities of many of the apps are not good at reproducing the sound
harmonics for many of our advanced chords. Our chords contain many accidentals and
are not easily reproduced using the sound synthesis models on the iphone/ipad/ipod.
When choosing an App from the app store to produce sound make sure the app support
BACKGROUND AUDIO. If the app does not support BACKGROUND AUDIO you will not be
able to use it to produce sound from PIANO HARMONY MIDI PRO
The two apps that we have tested to produce sound are:
1) ProKeys
2) Organ+

You can verify that Organ+ is setup correctly when you see a RED BAR at the top of the
screen. The RED BAR at the top of the screen indicates that the other app that you are
using for sound is set up properly and is listening for MIDI data from PIANO HARMONY
PRO.
If you do not see the RED BAR, this indicates that the other app is not setup properly or
is not capable of playing audio in the background.
