Leave a Review Navichord
Thing app is great
The advertising video doesn't really do it justice. I bought this looking for some inspiration for a video I'm making and within minutes I had some great ideas. It also helped me clarify my thinking about the musical feel I wanted for the video segment. Works great.Silversurfer1
Essential for Songwriting & Performance
This is the best Chord sequencer I have used on iOS. It's very intuitive in the sense that you don't need to have a lot of knowledge in music theory to use Navichord. In fact, it'll assist in easily learning how to use the Roman numeral system of chord progressions and creating interesting melodies to go with them. It's fast, it's fun and for advanced users it has MIDI routing to specific channels. A great way you might take advantage of this is, let's say you have three instruments on three tracks, Navichord can route the root notes to the bass (channel 1), chord notes to the piano (channel 2) and the melody notes to a synth lead (channel 3). Basically allowing you to control and play all three with Navichord - giving you the sound of a full arrangement with a few taps. It even works well synced over WiFi with macOS when paired through Apple's Audio/MIDI app. An Essential songwriting tool for the studio as it's an excellent MIDI controller. It's also Universal! Traveling and don't have your iPad but want to jam? iPhone has you covered. Hope this helps you decide based on some key features I've enjoyed. Party on!Show lessTobyRyan
Nice app
Great app. Good chord structure insight. Excellent sampled sounds (particularly the piano)MazRS
Awesome chord interface
The ability to route single midi notes to the chord pad and play your progression is brilliant. The tonnetz implementation is great. One wish would be the ability to more easily play more unique chord shapes with a single press. Major and minor in the triangle is cool, but maybe a way to press a button to activate like a maj5, then press root? Pressing weird shapes is kind of a pain on the screen. Too easy to miss the little dots.Show lessMusixMonkey
Awesome product
this is the most used app at this point on my music iPadphotoenthu
Very good
This app is a very good midi controller. Its layout is simple to understand and playable.
A couple of requests for development:
A full screen mode for either chords or keys. This would give more playing area and more room for the x y cc control of the pads/keys. As it is it does not allow accurate movements due to small size.
A dedicated mod wheel. Or since its on touch screen possibly a velocity wheel.
The keys to have the option to be inline while in key. So the black keys in that scale would drop down to the white keys. Like Animoog or PPG.
I appreciate the work already put in and realize these things may not be achievable.
I recommend this app to everybody who asks!Show lessqwesterish
Quite Simply the MVP app on my ipad
I don't write many reviews, but I feel compelled to write one for this app because it is the single most useful tool on my ipad. It has changed the way I interface with my hardware synths and helped me become a better songwriter. I'm a guitar player by training, but a synth lover by heart. If my keyboard skills were as good as my guitar skills I'd be golden, but since they are not, this app helps me fill the gaps in skill by taking care of my left hand chording. I can't say enough good things about this app. If there were ten stars, I'd still want to give it eleven.Show lessMark Thomas Walker
Was always good, but...
...this new update makes it a must have. Exceptional.
April 2016: And again!
November 2016: Still being polished, still top of its own tree. Recommended.fhdkhdsjkf
A steady march past perfection
One of the few apps to continuously surprise me with its invention. It was a solid performer to begin with, but each update opens up new options I hadn't even considered.burbleglobby
Already excellent, the updates make it better!
This app was already an excellent MIDI controller and has some awesome built in sounds. The updates just make it better whether it is the auto-player or the ability to easily create some neat sounding chords without having to have a knowledge of the piano keyboard. Very helpful for this guitar player who wants to play synths but doesn't know his way around a keyboard.Show lessFprintf
