This is nice. I think it has appeared before on HN. A nitpick is that the piano keys are drawn incorrectly; on a real piano the black keys are not centered between the white keys (most important), and they are also wider and longer.

Very interesting, would be nice to have a switch to change the notation (at least the solfeggio/solfege one). I'm European and really I can't work with C D E F G A B.

Europe has a fair split between solfege and letters, don't put us all in the same basket my fellow European :)

Southern European I should specify, then :)

One app I use frequently when composing is Tonaly on iOS. It has an interactive circle of fifths that also indicates the chord grades on the selected scale. The cheat sheet is also a good approximation.

This and the other one you posted with the chords (I assume that was also you?) are really useful and handy! Thanks for this!

I don't think it was me but maybe it was another page someone else shared from this cool site? Please share what it was if it's relevant.

Germans also name the notes differently (C, D, E, F, G, A, H) which has unfortunately spread to some other countries too (like in Finland, which confuses me a lot because I've learnt so much music stuff online that uses the more logical naming).

I made a site the other day to help me practice my chords - https://learnyourchords.com

If you have a MIDI keyboard you can play along as it prompts you with chords, or if not you can use it like chord flashcards.

Neat! I like it. I get no audio on my iphone though for the interactive keyboard. Might just be my setup.

Your phone is on mute. This website has been posted here at least once a month since launch.

It’s not. I can listen to audio from anywhere else except this site.

Just hooked my phone up to look at the console and noted that the resources are not being loaded.

I have a pihole running and checked that log and can see that fish.muted.io is being blocked due to it being listed in in one of the pihole default blocklists that it downloads.

That’s enough for me to give it a miss anyway.

Well that is extremely odd, would you agree?

Looks neat (and like you've put a lot of time and effort into it!), but why use the letter 'b' instead of a flat symbol in the section Diminished Chord Formulas (https://muted.io/chord-formulas-intervals/#diminished-chords)? I played around with the https://muted.io/mini-music-machine/ a bit, again, very cool - there's some curious use of terminology (esp. interval to mean essentially mean duration/frequency, and the various options under that same dropdown aren't immediately obvious in meaning). Would be awesome if you could save/export whatever you'd created! Is the record button supposed to work? It doesn't for me in latest Chrome on Windows, get this in console:
