I still love it, i’m just wondering

When will there be a real update to the presets? I understand we can create out own, but most users of this just know what sounds good together. Let’s get some more genre specific chord sets. At least name whats there based on key and scale and not sing names.
Amazing tool

Was great before and now auv3 makes it even more versatile. Great creative tool for playing expressive chords and coming up with new sequences especially if your keyboard skills are lacking
Change of heart.

I originally gave this 1 star since it was not recording the midi into beatmaker 3. I reached out to the dev and was advised on how to get it going. Now it works “ Beatmaker 3 does not record the MIDI from AUv3 MIDI effects. You need to use Beatmaker 3 virtual keyboard to trigger ChordPolyPad, then it will record the notes played by its own keyboard that will trigger ChordPolyPad. This is not a limitation of ChordPolyPad, but a limitation of Beatmaker 3.”
Wish it had velocity input from Cubasis

Along with your other apps, I am finding myself wishing it had some realtime velocity control. I know this is possible from playing within the app but I would like to have the same capability with an external keyboard.
Awesome app with great service

This app with audiobus, korg sound module and a midi foot controller has replaced my korg keyboard for gigs. Amazing service as well. All my questions were answered within 24 hours. I am totally impressed.

Glitches on Beatmaker 3 to the point I can't even use either software when using it together
Glitches and hangs in Cubasis

Having a bit of a difficult time with velocity playability within Cubasis. Turning off the animation helped a little. Playing through Audiobus and AUM is no problem. Is there a workaround to record with no glitches in Cubasis?
Outstanding

ChordPolyPad is the best available MIDI controller for chords on iOS, allowing for quick and easy set up of different chord combinations, and even CC control on each pad’s X/Y axis. That it’s now in AU format after the 2.0 update just makes it that much better.
A goto must have tool!

Love the app. Great work. A daily go to. Only one request, an option to display notes as flats and not just sharps.
