Reviews
Nice! But, please...
huhuhohoho
Wonderful app, but: 1) I am not a fan of this new grey UI and app icon. Would be great if you could choose to roll back to blue one. 2) I really need an option to name each of the pads or bars with their names accordingly to the chords used. Like A3, G4 and such. Thanks a lot!
Prompt app support

I was having trouble because even when I had chord locking on, any adjustments to the chord reset when I play a different chord. Dmitry helped me realize that the reason it wasn’t working was that my Threshold (inside the Chord Locking setting) was all the way up. That resolved the issue, all within a couple hours of leaving my feedback here. Two features I would really like: - To be able to set any button to any chord, allowing me to play, for example, a G and G7 chord without changing a button back and forth mid-song. That would increase the functionality of this app for me by quite a bit. - To be able to save these custom chord layouts. I’d use this app all the time with these changes. I’ve honestly been looking for an app that allows music to be made like this for a long time, and I’m so happy it exists.
Beautiful simplicity, an instrument in its own right

Chordup offers the ability to quickly select any of 108 chords (9 for each root note) by swiping with one finger and playing the notes of the selected chord on one of 3 different playing surfaces which change their note layouts according to the selected chord. You can effortlessly play quick arpeggios, dense block chords or anything in between. It's also possible to explore melodies by playing one or two notes and quickly shifting the selected chords which then change those notes under your fingers. Get passable strumming effects by engaging the sustain button. The beauty of it is that only the chords are labeled, the notes are not, nor is there a scale lock. But fear not, the simple interface allows for quick musical exploration, making it incredible easy to find great progressions using just your ears. There is only the slightest learning curve in getting used to timing your chord selections, but this is quickly overcome within an hour of playing and is highly rewarding.
A really well thought out but simple to use interface
A GOOD MOUSER
I am a lifelong musician and former professional. This is truly an original idea that is clever and effective!
Great interface

This app has a great interface to choose chords. So far it's been fun to play with. The included sounds are clean and nice.
A true winner

For every few music apps you buy, you're lucky to get ONE you actually find useful. This is the ONE. I don't have anything like this, and this would be just as handy in the studio as it would live.
