Define sound in textual format to study music

Postby hannaconner » Tue Jul 01, 2025 1:46 am

Hi,

this may be a crazy idea, but I am trying to study chords, intervals and scales with Flashcards Deluxe.

Of course I could generate sound files for every chord, but this will be very tiresome.

Is there someway that I could define notes to be played using letters on a card side?

Hi,

Well, I think the app could be a good tool for studying these things. But the main issue might be how to efficiently create your content. No, I don't have any way to help you create sound files. This is your sticking point.

I can see a sound file for each type of chord. Perhaps all in C, so for example, C major, C min, C7, etc. So you might have 6 sounds or so for chords (all in C).
You need about 6 interval sound files.
And at least 2 scales I assume, for major and minor (starting with C).

Otherwise, you don't need sound files for non-C chords, I wouldn't think. Perhaps have a different deck, just for the ones with sound files. Most people don't have absolute pitch and need to study C vs D sounds I wouldn't think.

But the app won't do any of these sound files for you.
