ChordMaps2

MIDI LEARN!🙏🏻

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It doesn’t work. Why? (iPad Air 2019)

I was a professional music producer for 10 years, and if i had discovered this app THEN… I literally don’t have to worry about my fingers’ ability to play what my mind is creating. This is hands down, the single greatest VSTi, ever…and nobody knows it. - J.Troup

Update: It’s working again. Thank you for the response. I changed my star rating to 5 stars. It stopped working... I can hear any sounds from it (Dec 2020, iOS 14.3).

It offers inspiration and a creative way to not only explore chords but serves as an amazing performance device through it MIDI support. I use it virtually every day!

Saw Doug at The Sound Test Room on YouTube give a tutorial...had to have it!

Watch the tutorial from The Sound Test Room on YouTube first, otherwise the interface can seem a bit overwhelming at first.

First off, this app is pretty useful and works well, but there are a couple peculiarities about it that bother me. For one, the 7th chord of the selected key is missing from most of the maps. But what REALLY irritates me is that you can’t select minor keys in any map except three (out of nine), and even then it’s a bit odd, because the 3rd chord is augmented. So you’re mostly confined to major scales, and only certain fixed chords within each map. This a huge bummer because the whole point of this app is exploring various chord combinations. It feels overpriced for what you're actually given to explore.

I probably should give it 5 stars because it does everything it is suppose to do and it is a very powerful songwriting tool. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because I have a wish list and I'm holding 1 star for ransom😊. If it only had midi in, it could be an instrument instead of just a tool. Please add an in app purchase option for midi in with midi note and cc mapping. AUv3 and OSC support would make this app indispensable. It would enable musicians to play ChordMaps2 from their existing midi controllers or build custom midi controllers using arduino platform or software such as Lemur or Midi Designer Pro.
