I'm curious, care to elaborate on why?

Fear of messing up my computer and no way back.

Both C#m and Db can be played on piano using only the black keys (skipping the 3rd note of the scale). This makes them easy keys for beginners. I'm not sure if that's the reason, but it could be related.

Anecdotally, I know a few vocalists that sound great in these keys and use them as a starting point

> Both C#m and Db can be played on piano using only the black keys (skipping the 3rd note of the scale)

For the major scale, there are 7 notes in the scale and only 5 black keys; you also need to skip ti, the 7th note.

For the minor scale ("C#m"), it's worse; only four of the five black keys are part of that scale.

And I would have thought that something intended to be played only on the black keys would be described as using a pentatonic scale anyway?

As a belated followup, I should observe that if you're playing "in C sharp minor" on the black keys, you're skipping notes 3, 6, and 7 of the scale... and those are the only notes that differ between a minor scale and a major scale, making the "minor" designation completely meaningless.

I agree with the general sentiment of your comment, but not this:

> then maybe they've got an inkling of truth and they're worth writing about.

Ideas don't have to be infallible to be worth writing about. It's a slippery slope to not writing at all.

"inkling of truth" != "infallible"

Some? All of them use pitch correction and timing correction. And that's just what we do to the vocals!

what an off-putting start

I'd be curious to ask someone from outside the UK and the US which version of the show they thought of first

Canadian here. I think UK office because my family has lots of UK ties and grew up with that humour.

Eventually saw the US office and hated it.

Canadians are culturally stuck between US and Europe, so it can go either way

From the Netherlands: US Office, as growing up, that's the version we had on the Comedy Central TV channel.

From the Netherlands, UK Office, as that one was broadcast on Dutch television already before the American version existed. So I guess the answer depends on your age :)

Just sharing an anecdote - I noticed this effect in college for myself. Since then i do one or two all nighters a year specifically for this

Would you please share some of the music theory things you've been using ChatGPT for?

Thanks for sharing! I was actually just looking for something like this earlier today, can't wait to try it out.

I can’t wait for you to try it out haha!

I love this app! I've had it installed for a while because the hexagonal note layout is fascinating
