ChordBud 2 AUv3 MIDI Sequencer

One thing I’m missing and thereby i’m constantly using other apps is internal sound engine. Currently you can not draft chords while hearing what you are drafting on stand alone mode. The only option is to use it in a host app like AUM with other app that supplies the sound. For drafting purposes I prefers the stand alone mode which is quicker to launch and takes less resources. Until this will be added ill be using suggester for drafting.

How do you setup time signatures like 3/4, 6/8, etc. ?

Suggestion: Add a manual option to turn on/off Sync with the Host because the auto-syncing in the code isn’t functioning correctly. The pointer that tracks where it’s playing never returns all the way to the beginning of the track when I use Rewind to Start in the Host Transporter. This is a serious bug. Please fix this. This app used to work correctly, as shown in Leo’s 3 year old Tutorial. But now, it doesn’t work like that anymore.

I have all the chord apps. This is the most intuitive and easy to use . Love using it with brain and bounce bud

Read the title!

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 🙏

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.

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.

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…

Why can’t this load in BeatMaker 3? It’s says auv but it’s iaa.
