Would be even greater with a simple chord sequencer. -- anazariz123, 2025-05-17 ### ***** "Great Product And Support" 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. -- Blueswaite, 2023-02-26 ### ***** "Chord Poly Pad" 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. -- Chester-Tanner, 2022-10-12 ### ****- "Great first impression!!!" 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. -- Timesrunninout, 2022-10-08 ### ***** "Easy to Use, Easy to Customize, Extremely Useful" 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. -- kwbysk, 2022-07-06 ### ****- "Wish it had velocity input from Cubasis" 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. -- petemuzak, 2022-01-20 ### ***** "Change of heart." 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.” -- CedricoSuavey, 2021-10-25 ### **--- "Buggy" I can barely click on any chords on my iPad I’m barely getting any sounds -- awesomeaustin67, 2020-12-14 ### ***** "Amazing tool" 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 -- RedSkyy73, 2020-12-08 ### ****- "I still love it, i’m just wondering" When will there be a real update to the presets? I understand we can create out own, but most users of this just know what sounds good together. Let’s get some more genre specific chord sets. At least name whats there based on key and scale and not sing names. -- 4double, 2020-12-08 [View all ChordPolyPad reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to ChordPolyPad - [MIDI Strummer AUv3 Plugin](https://apptail.io/app/midi-strummer-auv3-plugin-MEw/united-states) - [Piano Motifs](https://apptail.io/app/piano-motifs-efCb/united-states) - [Riffer](https://apptail.io/app/riffer-VuCb/united-states) - [cykle](https://apptail.io/app/cykle-VYZc/united-states) - [Mozaic Plugin Workshop](https://apptail.io/app/mozaic-plugin-workshop-cZZc/united-states) - [Zeeon synth](https://apptail.io/app/zeeon-synth-cIjd/united-states) - [apeMatrix](https://apptail.io/app/apematrix-sjme/united-states) - [KB-1 Keyboard Suite](https://apptail.io/app/kb-1-keyboard-suite-NiPe/united-states) - [Chordjam](https://apptail.io/app/chordjam-lgdl/united-states) - [EG Nodes](https://apptail.io/app/eg-nodes-ANLo/united-states) ## ChordPolyPad Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/united-states) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/germany) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/united-kingdom) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/france) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/japan) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/canada) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/russia) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/spain) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/netherlands) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/sweden) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/switzerland) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/italy) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/belgium) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/australia) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/india) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/turkey) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/argentina) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/denmark) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/brazil) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/lithuania) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/mexico) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/china) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/greece) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/hungary) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/ukraine) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/austria) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/saudi-arabia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/singapore) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/united-arab-emirates) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/vietnam) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/armenia) - [Bermuda](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/bermuda) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/brunei) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/belarus) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/colombia) - [Cyprus](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/cyprus) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/czechia) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/ecuador) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/estonia) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/finland) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/hong-kong) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/indonesia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/israel) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/iceland) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/lebanon) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/malaysia) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/poland) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/chordpolypad-Ytxe/romania) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
