## ChordBud 2 AUv3 MIDI Sequencer Description
ChordBud 2 is a MIDI chord sequencer for building unique chord progressions in minutes.

Under the hood is a powerful music theory engine with over 40 scales. Select the scales to work with and see them laid out top to bottom on one screen, with the chords inside each scale running left to right, compare scales side by side, or borrow chords from one another through modal interchange.

By default, every chord inside the current scale and key is presented at once, and the key can be changed anytime. 
The settings menu also offers chord progressions to work within, showing only the chords that belong to the selected progression.

Build as many patterns as needed, each with its own key, scale, and chord progression. Long-press a pattern to copy, paste, or delete it, with full undo/redo backing every edit so experimentation stays risk-free. Patterns can be triggered via MIDI CC messages, enabling automation or a full song mode.

Triads are just the starting point — chords can be extended with add/sus/6/7/9/11/13 and more modifiers. 
Tap any chord on the timeline to open the chord editor and adjust its mode, velocity, octave, inversion, key, or division. Edits apply live while the sequencer plays, so changes are audible immediately.

On the timeline, chords can be repositioned by dragging, or resized by dragging their right edge. 
Pinch to zoom in or out, or zoom in further to work precisely within subdivisions.

Standalone, ChordBud 2 includes a built-in piano sampler for instant playback with zero setup, alongside MIDI, virtual MIDI, and Bluetooth MIDI connectivity for hardware and software instruments. An AUv3 plugin version is also available, dropping straight into any DAW to drive instrument tracks from inside a session.

Note: ChordBud 2 AUv3 plugin is a MIDI sequencer app. It does not produce sound itself. You need an audio app in order to get sound. Just route ChordBud 2's MIDI Out to your audio app's MIDI in and arm the sequencer.

## ChordBud 2 AUv3 MIDI Sequencer Reviews in United States

### **--- "Missing Time Signature"
How do you setup time signatures like 3/4, 6/8, etc. ?
-- anazariz123, 2024-02-05

### ***** "Class A sequencer from The Classiest Developer,  in the iOS. Period."
Read the title!
-- Deathrow Inmates, 2023-08-10

### ***-- "A simple fix pls"
please allow us to play our own chords in by hand instead of choosing the technical terms.

It'd make fun a lot more accessible 🙏
-- Hulu Frog, 2023-05-05

### *---- "Tutorial doesn’t work"
Start using it with the tutorial? Well, you get to the second balloon, and that’s where the tutorial stops working. “Let’s select one chord and start!” But while you can select one chord, or as many as you want, you can’t go any further. The balloon is supposed to be your “Next” button, but it’s dead—you can’t get past it, it does not work.
-- D1Stewart, 2022-10-04

### ***-- "Chord options are still limited"
Still lacking simple functions like omitting fifths, or adding specific notes/intervals to a chord.

You can get some great use out of this app if you’re using simple chord symbols (stuff like 7, M7, add9, sus4, 6/9, b11, etc.) but you can’t, for example, play any of these chords without the fifth, or without the third. You can’t play jazzy/bluesy chords that are difficult to define, either. There are all sorts of chords that are impossible to generate with traditional chord notation, and so it’s disappointing to see these left out.

Please add an “omit X interval” function for each chord.

Also, rhythm is very limited and almost non-functional. You can split chords into very large chunks, but there’s really no way to divide into 1/16ths or triplets or anything of that nature.

Overall, great for quick sketches and simple grooves, but unable to create anything more complex.
-- mehwutever, 2022-02-18

### ***-- "3 beats..??"
I just bought the app. I think I must be missing something. How do I set the time signature in the app? I don’t find a way to set 3/4 time for example…
-- Myla412, 2022-02-09

### *---- "Disappointed"
Why can’t this load in BeatMaker 3? It’s says auv but it’s iaa.
-- Liljaycmob, 2021-11-14

### **--- "None of these apps work in beatmaker 3"
No matter what I try these apps won’t let you record in beatmaker 3. I bought the bundle to use in beatmaker 3 midi fx. It will let you hit play and the apps will work with whatever sound your using but no matter what it won’t record. Your apps say compatible with beatmaker 3 but that isn’t so. Would like my money back being your apps are useless in a iOS DAW
-- hilltyler89, 2021-10-07

### **--- "Could be better"
Chords should scroll by the user instead of disappearing off screen. Why.? Illogical. This is supposed to be a practice tool. Think I will go elsewhere. I feel this is a waste of time. Back to Chordbot which makes sense and meets my expectations!
-- Comtubly Numm, 2021-02-27

### *---- "Does not work with Garage Band as Audio Unit"
Says it’s an Audio Unit. Does not appear as audio unit only as inter app audio . WASTE OF MONEY
-- bomcody, 2021-02-10
