Chromatic Labs Releases Tabular Tab Editor

Chromatic Labs announces the release of Tabular, a tab editor for Mac OSX.

Los Angeles, CA (March 21, 2013) -- Tabular is a tablature editor that lets you read and write music for guitar, bass, drums and much more. It's the best way to learn new songs, write your own songs, and run through practice exercises for nearly any kind of stringed instrument or drum kit.

Practice tools allow you to master challenging songs and improve your technique by letting you start off slow and gradually increase the speed after each loop. You can also keep logs of your practice sessions so you always know where you last left off.

All of your music will be neatly organized and managed for you with the app's integrated document library. No more manually sorting through files — you'll have everything automatically stored and sorted in one place.
