What is Harmony Vision Pro?
Harmony Vision Pro is a MIDI harmony visualizer for creating theory-aware piano tutorial videos.
Open a MIDI file and turn it into a clear visual presentation with piano keyboard animation, chord symbols, chord-scales, voicing labels, guide tones, tensions, upper structures, and harmonic context.
Who is Harmony Vision Pro for?
Harmony Vision Pro is for piano teachers, jazz educators, YouTube creators, online course creators, and musicians who make educational content from MIDI performances.
It is especially useful if you teach harmony, voicings, chord-scales, upper structures, reharmonization, jazz standards, improvisation, or modern piano theory.
Does Harmony Vision Pro automatically know the chords from my MIDI file?
Harmony Vision Pro analyzes the notes in the MIDI performance, but you provide the harmonic context.
When the app reaches a new harmonic moment, you play the basic root-position chord that represents the harmony you want the student to understand. Harmony Vision Pro then analyzes the original MIDI performance against that context.
This is intentional. In teaching, the same notes can often be explained in more than one way, so Harmony Vision Pro lets the educator define the musical meaning.
Do I need to play the full voicing into Harmony Vision Pro?
No. You never need to play the full voicing.
To give Harmony Vision Pro the harmonic context, you always play either a seventh chord or a triad in root position, anywhere on the keyboard.
For example, if the MIDI performance contains a complex C-7b5 voicing with tensions, passing notes, or an upper structure, you simply play C-7b5 in root position. Harmony Vision Pro then analyzes the notes from the original MIDI performance against that harmonic context.
What does Harmony Vision Pro show in the video?
Harmony Vision Pro can display animated piano keyboard visualization, chord symbols, chord-scales, guide tones, tensions, upper structures, Roman numeral upper-structure labels, cadence arrows and brackets, and harmonic context across progressions.
What are guide tones and tensions?
Guide tones are the essential tones that define the chord quality and voice-leading function. In many chords, these are the 3rd and 7th. In sus chords, the suspended 4th may function as the structural guide tone.
Tensions are color tones such as 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, altered tensions, and other extensions. Harmony Vision Pro labels these visually so students can see how each note functions inside the chord.
What are upper structures?
Upper structures are recognizable chord shapes built above a base harmony.
For example, a major triad may appear above a seventh chord to create a specific color. Harmony Vision Pro can detect and display these structures, making it easier to explain advanced jazz voicings visually.
Does Harmony Vision Pro show chord-scales?
Yes. Harmony Vision Pro displays the chord-scale associated with the current harmonic context.
This is useful when connecting voicings, tensions, improvisation, and harmonic function. For example, a dominant chord may show Mixolydian, Lydian dominant, altered, or another appropriate chord-scale depending on the context.
Can Harmony Vision Pro show II–V–I progressions and cadences?
Yes. After you provide the harmonic context, Harmony Vision Pro can analyze how chords connect.
For example, if you enter C-7b5 → F7 → Bbmaj7, the app understands the progression and can display cadence arrows and brackets automatically.
What kinds of cadences can Harmony Vision Pro show?
Harmony Vision Pro is designed to show common harmonic movements such as II–V–I progressions, minor II–V–I progressions, backdoor progressions, tritone substitutions, deceptive resolutions, and other functional chord connections.
What files do I need to create a tutorial with Harmony Vision Pro?
For a complete piano tutorial workflow, you typically need your lesson narration, a video of the piano performance, a MIDI recording of that same piano performance, and a final audio render from your preferred piano sampler or plug-in.
The MIDI file should match the piano performance video so the exported Harmony Vision Pro layer can sync correctly in your video editor.
Does Harmony Vision Pro generate the final finished tutorial video?
Harmony Vision Pro exports the theory-aware visual layer.
You still combine that export with your piano video, narration, camera footage, and final audio in a video editor such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
Does the exported video include audio?
No. Harmony Vision Pro exports a silent video.
The export is designed to be used as a visual explanation layer in your video editor. You can then sync it with your final piano audio, narration, overhead piano video, and any teacher camera footage.
Why does the exported video leave space at the bottom?
Harmony Vision Pro leaves space at the bottom of the frame so you can place your real piano footage there in your video editor.
This lets you align the real keyboard footage with the animated keyboard visualization and create a polished piano tutorial layout.
What video quality does Harmony Vision Pro export?
Harmony Vision Pro exports a 4K video layer suitable for professional tutorial production.
Can I have a white background?
Yes. Harmony Vision Pro includes a white background option.
You can change the background and other visual options from the Settings menu inside the app.
This is useful when you want a cleaner, brighter tutorial look, or when your final video layout works better with a light background instead of the default dark visual style.
Can I use Harmony Vision Pro without filming my hands?
Yes. You can use the exported visualization by itself, especially for theory explanations, analysis videos, MIDI demonstrations, or course materials.
However, the strongest workflow is to combine it with real piano footage, narration, and high-quality piano audio.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard?
A MIDI keyboard is strongly recommended because the workflow is built around playing harmonic reference chords into the app.
The main source is the MIDI file, but the fastest and most musical way to provide harmonic context is by playing the reference chord on a MIDI keyboard.
What happens if I make a mistake while entering chords?
You can go back and correct the harmonic context.
Use Space or Next to advance. Use Shift–Space or Previous to go back and re-enter a chord if needed.
What happens if the harmony does not change?
Just click Next or press Space without entering a new chord.
Harmony Vision Pro will continue using the previous harmonic context until you provide a new one.
What is an Enhanced MIDI file?
An Enhanced MIDI file is the original MIDI performance with the harmonic context saved inside it.
This lets you preserve the analysis work you added in Harmony Vision Pro and reopen or reuse it later.
Do I have to save the Enhanced MIDI file?
No. Saving the Enhanced MIDI file is optional.
You can save it if you want to keep the harmonic analysis embedded in the file, or cancel if you only need the current export.
Can Harmony Vision Pro fix wrong notes in my performance?
No. Harmony Vision Pro is not designed as a MIDI editor or performance-correction tool.
It analyzes the MIDI notes against the harmonic context you provide. Passing notes, embellishments, and occasional wrong notes can still be shown in context, but the app does not automatically rewrite or correct the performance.
Is Harmony Vision Pro only for jazz?
No, but it is especially powerful for jazz and advanced harmony.
Because it understands chord symbols, chord-scales, tensions, upper structures, and cadential function, it is ideal for jazz piano, reharmonization, standards, film harmony, gospel-influenced harmony, and modern keyboard voicings.
Can I use Harmony Vision Pro for classical music?
Yes, especially if you want to explain harmony, cadences, voice leading, or chord function from a MIDI performance.
The app’s strongest current language is jazz and chord-symbol-based theory, so it is most natural for chord-based educational content.
Can Harmony Vision Pro replace my video editor?
No. Harmony Vision Pro creates the theory-aware visual layer.
You still use a video editor to assemble the final tutorial with narration, camera footage, piano audio, and any additional graphics.
Can I use my own piano sound?
Yes. Harmony Vision Pro’s export is visual only.
For the final tutorial, you can render your MIDI through any piano sampler, virtual instrument, DAW, or plug-in you prefer.
Is Harmony Vision Pro available for Windows or iPad?
Harmony Vision Pro is currently designed for macOS.
We may consider additional platforms in the future depending on demand.
What should I prepare before using Harmony Vision Pro?
The most important step is having a clear lesson plan.
Harmony Vision Pro works best when you already know what you want to teach: the progression, the harmonic concept, the voicings, the chord-scales, or the cadence you want students to understand.
