Auto Chord

Totally redesigned, Auto Chord automatically detects chord changes in live music and sends control signals (pitch, velocity, and volume) to attached MIDI devices such as synths and recording devices (e.g., Garage Band, Pro Tools, etc.).
Category Price Seller Device
Music $2.99 Mark Carlotto iPhone, iPad, iPod

It can be used for live performance (e.g., to generate a "pad" accompaniment to an instrumental part such as a piano or guitar), for semi-automatic chord transcription (with external MIDI editing), and other applications.

So this is actually pretty cool for live midi pads behind stringed instruments. Once i had played with the settings and got a good input level it worked well. Now its not like other guitar single note midi guitar, but it played cool ambient synth and displayed interesting chords. I think there is value more in a way if you just think of the app as unique and it does in fact work!


Works as advertised

One of the best audio midi controllers works better than midi guitar 2, works exceptionally well ignore the negative reviews this is a must have app


Trash!!

Doesn't work for chords nor single notes..high notes..low notes..doesn't matter..inaccurate and a waste of money!


Terrible! Complete garbage!
HankReview

Let me be among the first to save you three bucks. No matter what I did I could not get this thing to work – not at all. It is completely worthless from concept to execution. Go to help and you will discover that although it tells you how to operate it on the PC and the Mac that's very little help send us your obviously on an iPad. Not a word about how to use it there. Developer gives you the impression that you can use any form of live music, songs, instruments, etc. No matter what I did it would not respond. Also if you want to use recorded music you'd better be prepared to pay for it on iTunes, because there is no way to go anywhere else (i.e., Dropbox) and pick up an MP3. Useless. Useless. Useless. I'm only giving it one star because I have to In order to submit this.


Needs background audio, and to do what it says it does, and to not over fluff..

The next intuitive step is that this app and the whole batch of other orange color apps need background audio because of course I want to flip through the different patches on the attached synth but as soon as I go there then this app fails. So I go back to the auto chord app only to find all the selections I've made ... which were 15 different toggle settings to limit the autochords. And what does "semi-automatic chord transcription... ?" It means it does NOT transcript, to describe it in a easier way so readers don't get excited before buying this app and spending time trying to decide between how many orange apps by this maker that? Is it seven? Just put out on app that does everything that all those orange apps do. It would probably work too since time isn't wasted on so many versions. Kind of reminds me of Bleep Player. I was thinking oh my how could an app be so flawed. And out of control constantly trying to move to a next patten but too slow (on a retina!) that it won't accept by clicking in time. And hello, as n app maker, I wouldn't be bragging that your bleep player can't sample! Other brands try to have more functions more like an all in one. Synth, samples, control other synths with midi, have background audio,and have your unique auto chord non-semiautomatic. Amd check if you can get a patent on your auto chording ideas like groove maker did for their unique sequencer. Man I purchased the midi to note too. I won't even go there. I wasted too much time already with three products from this brand. The recording sounded nothing like what I played. And who wants to email out the recording, and take extra steps...? Dropbox so it can link with Meteor, which gets the job done well.


Terrible doesn't work

Doesn't do anything. Don't buy. I want my money back.
