## What is Chord Lab?

Seven keys, a joystick and room for your ideas. Chord Lab turns your iPhone and iPad into a chord instrument with 3D controls, expressive sounds and layers of accompaniment. Open it, choose a sound and start playing.

MAKE THE CHORDS YOURS
Play full chords, strums, arpeggios or drones. Choose your key and octave, customize each button or build a voicing note by note. Save your shapes and assign different chord variations to the joystick's eight directions.

EXPLORE 110 SOUNDS
Combine original synthesizer sounds with a library of sample-based instruments. Discover pads, plucks, organs, synths and more. Shape each sound with glide, envelopes, filter cutoff and resonance.

BUILD YOUR EFFECT CHAIN
Explore 15 effects, including Cloud and Shimmer reverbs, delays, chorus, vibrato, phaser, tremolo, vinyl and drive. Connect up to six modules in series, adjust their parameters and save your chains. Effects process the chord keys while beats, sustained pads and textures stay independent.

LO-FI, RHYTHMS AND ATMOSPHERES
Play along with 40 electronic rhythms, including lo-fi grooves and beats inspired by the 1980s. Add sustained pads in all 12 keys and textures made from real recordings: vinyl, rain, forest, coffee machine, city and night. Each layer has its own volume.

CONNECT AND CAPTURE
Use MIDI input and output, visual control mapping and compatible game controllers. Record your mix as a 24-bit stereo WAV, listen back and share your ideas. Save and import setups to recall your settings. Layers you start can keep playing in the background.

An AUv3 instrument extension brings the sounds and sound controls to compatible hosts. The seven-key interface, beats and backing pads belong to the standalone app.

GIVE YOUR INSTRUMENT ITS OWN LOOK
Choose hardware colors and animated backgrounds with a retro feel. Play in portrait or landscape on iPhone and iPad. The interface is available in English and Portuguese.

One purchase. No subscriptions or in-app purchases. Works offline, with no account required.
