I rarely write reviews...

…but since ChordPolyPad has dethroned Pro Chords as my go-to chord progression/MIDI compositional app, I thought Id add my own rave review. From my perspective, ChordPolyPad's feature set lets it clearly edge out Pro Chords, while ChordPolyPad runs circles around more limited apps like Chorion and Chordbot. I bought this app impulsively, since I already own more music apps than I ever use, but ChordPolyPad has clearly established itself as the best compositional iOS app I own.
Really enjoying it!

I like the layout and general workings of the app and I was very happy to find the strum feature with settings assignable to each pad! I am looking forward to using this to help with inspiration. Nice all around so far!
fabulous chording tool

This app is easy to use, with surprising depth once you're ready for it (I've only dug a little way and am already impressed), helpful and yet wide open letting me easily create, fine-tune, perform and record chord progressions. I use it with MIDI sounds almost exclusively, so can't say anything about the internal sounds, but the MIDI setup is clean and straightforward, and it plays nicely with StepPolyArp and Audiobus, which makes me very happy. Definitely a worthwhile addition to my musical toolbox.
WOWZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so many chords to organize and play and have been looking for something just like this.. But this app is 10 times better than anything I would of ever imagined. Jaw still on floor.. Oh Happy Day.. Welcome to the next level.
Perfect

This app is just what I needed to drive midi input. It is incredibly customizable and easy to use.
5 Stars ChordPolyPad.

Chordpolypad has one of the better-looking UIs that I've seen, with windows that detach and can be moved about the screen easily. The layout is intuitive and the app leaves a very small footprint while running. Everything is customizable. The features are useful (finally, a well-implemented strum) and virtual midi works perfectly. I'm excited to explore my old samples again. Beautiful app.
Powerhouse VirtualMIDI controller for chords, scales, and composition
HouseOfHomuth
The on-board synth sounds (about a dozen) aren't much, but this app excels at customization as a controller for other synths and MIDI compatible music apps. Not only is there a huge library of chords, but it recognizes and names chords as you combine notes on the keys. These chords (or single notes) can be mapped to individual pads, which are a great size on both iPad and iPhone. There's even additional x and y axis gestures for pitch and other effects. If you've ever used ThumbJam's control system, it's similar to that except you can put anything anywhere you need it. Long story short: it lets you control other music apps with dexterity and complexity that the apps themselves do not allow. It's not one of the cheapest virtual MIDI controllers, but it may be one of the best. NOTE: Be sure to turn on "background" audio in the synth/music app you are controlling!
Worth it's virtual weight in gold

Worth it's virtual weight in gold. As apps4idevices put it, it's the best in its category? And what would I call that category... Not just pad category but instead that this app along with steppolyarp lets you cut out the fluff notes keeping things nice and simple and more harmonic. This app is and steppolyarp are always on my main iPad screen because both with play any instrument. I put the instruments in a folder there's too many and it's like toys putting them away after we're done. Too much time into non-core production just leads to inefficiency. I produced 60 tracks first half of /014. It's one of my goals to fully unlock the performance potential of steppolyarps45 built-in arp switch when played on another arp sequencer, so 2x arp of arp was really amazing. 3x arp was sounding too complete. Is there any possibility of adding a few more sounds, namely Alto sax and flute? Both sound beautiful and a bit sexy as instruments. The reason being then I can fit in more othapps in the Audiobus , namely Animoog whicseems to be the hog of all memory and is very limiting yet sounds good. Thank you
