ChordPolyPad

Diese App ist die einzige in dieser Art. Plug & Play, Drag & Drop. Bei mir gab es nach mehr als ein Jahr noch keinen einzigen Absturz. Ich benutze sie an stelle von einem Launchpad oder ähnliches. Sie ist sehr intuitiv und schnell zu bedienen. Akkorde lassen sich sofort erstellen und mit den integrierten Sounds spielen. Man kann über Midi Befehle auch andere Apps ansteuern. Wenn ich noch Wünsche offen hätte, dann die der farbigen Pads. Das wäre für meinen Geschmack, übersichtlicher. Auch das beschriften der Pads könnte mehr Möglichkeiten enthalten, wie zBspl. Schriftgrösse oder Zeilenumbruch. Dann würde ich 10 Sterne vergeben. Aber eigentlich besitzt sie schon alles Wesentliche. Darum 5 Sterne und weiter so!!

I give it 5 stars because my whole music making loop system wouldn’t work without it. You can use the pads as XY MIDI controls, connected to AUM or whatever software you use. It’s absolutely fabulous, and the only interface of this type that you can fully customize directly from an iPhone. That said, I wish the programmer would fix these 3 things: 1. The app often stops running when it’s in the background, and has to refresh when you go back to it, which means you have to wait a few seconds before being able to press anything again. Also you lose any changes you have made. This is the case even if ChordPolyPad is open in Audiobus (as it is in my system) 2. If each pad had a little indicator which simply showed where you pressed it last, that would be a game changer (for using as XY pads like I do) 3. (Not as important): being able to change pad color, not just text color, would be much more visible and clear. Hope this app keeps thriving and evolving, love it!

Really liking this app. Took a little time to understand it. Support was excellent when I e-mailed a question. The support was what sold me on the app.

I'm a GEE-Tar player. Cant read music, dont play a keyboard, just learned enough about MIDI to be extremely dangerous. But, I gotta say, Im having a blast with this app. And the developer seems to understand the things we need and want in EVERY App., such as AUV3, being both stand-alone, being hosted by AUM and most common DAWs, etc., Ableton-Link sync capability, MIDI In/oUT, bla bla, logical layout, intuitive, as simple as possible, both in-App Manual AND a downloadable PDF ( none of that no OFF-line PDF crap!). DUH! We want to look at offline manual on our older Ipads while figuring out the app on our new Ipad. Highly Recommend, one of the best values out there. Thanks Mr. Coulson. Rob H.

Just downloaded this app and I am having a great time playing chord progressions. I Can’t wait to get into more of the detailed settings. This seems like a fun and useful tool to use with other apps to make music intuitive and fun again. It seems to have limited built in sounds in the palate, but I’m pairing with other synth apps to yield more variety of sounds. I had to channel the midi output settings a bit. Maybe I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I got this thing making music rather quickly. I’m thinking this has a lot of potential.

I use this app a lot because it is so useful in so many different work flows. Nice presets, a great chord library, and cool randomization make quick use a breeze. All of the deeper features that I want are there too. Customizing individual note velocities, global transpose, strum settings, MIDI-input of chords as well as midi triggering of chords … this app is really flexible once you get to know it. Great to use when making music on an iPad or iPhone. Also superb to use as a controller for a desktop DAW.

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.

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.”

I can barely click on any chords on my iPad I’m barely getting any sounds

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
