Navichord • MIDI controller

Works fine like a charm the best app for composing love it

Is any plan to add more or one Instrument in the way, iam short

It allows the common simpleton as myself to compose epic pieces of beauty. Kudos to all the Navichord team! The only drawback would be that the pianos sound a bit crappy, the Rhodes, Choir and Strings are out of this world though. Excellent purchase.

Muy útil para entender la relación de las notas

Better than the circle of fifths! this is a really powerful tool. I like the ability to play chords with one finger. There’s a helpful diagram to show how to play different chords although this could be expanded. It sure would be great to have the chords translated on a guitar fretboard as an option. I think the functionality of the app could be improved say if you move your finger in a designated space and the notes shifted upwards in pitch or downward expanding the notes of the cord. Also would be great to have some sort of velocity control. One thing that’s a little annoying is that it’s easy for your finger just to veer off a little bit and play a bunch of notes that you did not intend to play. Overall I think this app is very helpful.

Should have a manual to show you how to use all the option instead of just a couple videos especially controlling other apps and setting up controllers

Great app, music theory made easy. Chords and scales made easy to understand and chord progressions fun

After a chord progression has been set up, and external midi device like a foot controller with buttons can click forward through a progression one click/cord at a time, and also configure a different button to step back in like one cord at a time in the progression. This feature is not found in other cord sequence or apps, except one old one. I play bass in a three-piece band that does not have any keyboards, just a guitar singer and drummer. With Navichord one can set up a cord progression for songs in a set list, choose the keyboard sounds to play for each song then play keyboard chords with 1 foot. This is also a fantastic feature because it allows the band to be spontaneous and stretch out songs, play faster slower, pause, hold, stop or whatever. Having to follow a metered sequence where things can run off the rails and the band loses some authenticity and that live feel. Also the developer is available if needed. It would be really cool if he continue to evolve Navichord with new features, not complaining, but…

The app (while lacking in some functionality) helps to make the simple seem more obvious.

I have tried so many apps – so many – to try and find an app that would let me lay out the chords to songs on the go, move things around, experiment with different chords and voicings. This is the only one I've ever found that lets me find and save complex chords, and also piece them together with varying durations into progressions that I can hum along to on the go or further refine. There are a couple things that could be more intuitive (like switching between the different editors – it took me forever to find the main chord editor; you have to tap the edit icon then tap the chord's duration #). But once you get past a couple of those quirks, you realize it has everything. Love the copy and paste functions – of individual chords AND of entire sections of the song.
