The ultimate on screen controller
Mythmongrel
I'm guitarist so adding keyboards myself can be a chore but this app has solved all my problems and much more. I like to compose with complex chord progressions. With this app I can build any chord I can imagine. Each pad can have 1 or 88 notes assigned. You can use the built in sounds or better yet send via core midi to any other app able to receive midi data. Plus you can set any pad to send midi controller data like modulation, pitch bend, and midi volume; it's virtually unlimited. Chordpolypad is incredibly versatile. I love this this and use on almost every track I create. I really can't imagine producing music with out it. It's a powerful musical tool, try it, you won't be disappointed.
What We Need:
Aias_i001
- Ability to use external MIDI drum pads to play the pads. - need to be able to use Ableton Link to play the chord progressions at a set loop length. Then preferably at some point have the ability to switch between different progressions. Say verse, chorus. Otherwise a great app and worth the money. I really dig it. If you can solve these issues we could really have an amazing controller app here.
Really want arrpegiator
Dfladge
Even for those of us without iPads ( and thus can't buy your other app) this app is still great. But frankly I would love to somehow compose my own harmony for each cord part within the app. For those of us who can't play an instrument ( but still want be inspired when we produce music) such a feature would be a god send. The strumming feature is just to haphazard, if my suggestions to ambitious at least implement some form of basic arrpegiation thanx.
Kmi 12 step!!

If you own a Keith McMillen 12-step keyboard this is the perfect companion for editing chords!!
Works great as a Chord Note Pad

My favorite feature of this app is how it can be used as a NotePad, pun unintended. You can record chords and return to them at a later date, to study, learn progressions or write songs. Awesome job! ??
Velocity Detection is Useless
Gern Blasnton
Could have been the ideal app but the only realtime velocity detection is worthless. To make it perfect make the accelerometer detection adjustable and offer the option of pad position velocity selection. I.E. top, bottom, left, right, for high velocity. Dare to be different - offer velocity options.
Excellent tool

I have enjoyed this app for years, and it continues to be one of the most useful tools I have for composing and studying chord progressions and voicings when away from a piano keyboard. Use it with the built in sounds for convenience, as a controller for other iOS music apps, or combine this app with the musicIO MIDI app, and a wired connection from iPhone or iPad provides a rock-solid, low-latency connection for chord input to your computer's DAW. MIDI over WiFi is also possible. The developer is accessible by email and is very responsive to bug reports—hence the recent update with a minor bug fix. The app has received many updates and improvements over time. Well worth the price.
Best chord app yet
BDC1989
I've tried a plethora of chord and scale apps. None of them has the versatility of this one. The only thing that holds me back from 5 stars is the ability to play the single notes of a chord. It would be great if there was a switch on the chord note keyboard that would change it to the keys of the note of the chord selected. Chordion has that feature but this app, which I just bought because Chordion 2 hasn't come about, is still much better than Chordion. Love the app and some of the internal sounds are pretty darn good!

My wife doesn’t know chords etc. but she’s in my duo nonetheless. We depend on this app a lot but wish we understood it better. Great app as far as we know!
