### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2024-04-28, version 1.1.2*

Tried with multiple applications, doesn’t appear in any of them, this bug needs fixed.

### 5/5 — Wie der Name schon sagt…

*2024-04-04*

…ist es ein Akkord-„Roulette“, das innerhalb der gegebenen Parameter (Vielstimmigkeit, Oktavlage…) jeder eingehenden MIDI-Note jeweils einen Akkord zuordnet. 
Im Zentrum steht dabei NICHT die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Zuordnung (deswegen ja „Roulette“), sondern dass aufeinanderfolgende Klänge angenehme, also nicht zu langweilige und nicht zu krasse, Kontraste bilden. Das ist, finde ich, super gelungen.

Wer Hilfe beim Songwriting und manuelle Unterstützung beim Akkordespielen erwartet, wird hier möglicherweise verwirrt und probiert es lieber mit Chordjam, Progressions oder Scaler.

Wer aber eine App sucht, die in einem generativen Kontext eigenständig Akkordfolgen produziert, welche interessant, aber nicht total absurd klingen, wird hier bedient.

Die Zuordnung von MIDI-Note und Akkord scheint mir reproduzierbar mit der Wahl der Parameter verknüpft zu sein. Die erzeugte Akkordfolge ist also nur in dem Maße zufällig, wie es die eingehenden MIDI-Noten und ggf. CC-Befehle für die Parameter sind. Die Zufälligkeit muss und kann man also von außen steuern, deswegen habe ich das „Roulette“ oben in Anführungszeichen gesetzt. Falls ich das falsch verstanden habe, bitte ich um Korrektur. Ganz unwichtig ist diese Frage ja nicht, falls man eine einmal gefundene kreative Lösung reproduzierbar machen will.

Ich verwende Chord Roulette in AUM. Zufällige MIDI-Noten für nichtrepetitive Akkordfolgen erzeuge ich mit Xynthesizr. Die Basstöne extrahiere ich mit ArpBud. Der Rest hängt dann vom gewünschten Musikstil ab. 

Ich habe ein bisschen gebraucht, um das Konzept zu verstehen, aber jetzt finde ich die App super. Klein, fein, sorgfältig gemacht. Hält, was sie verspricht.

**Developer response:** Leider gibt es keine Dokumentation und wird es wahrscheinlich auch nicht geben, da sich diese Anwendung in erster Linie auf generative Musik konzentriert.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool for compositional ideas.

*2024-02-14, version 1.1.2*

This app is exceptionally productive . Hook it up to synth and a midi capture app such as helium and you are 99% on the way to producing a selection of interesting, often inspiring  chord  sequences for your compositions…It’s so fun to use and you need on finger …👏👏😃🎶🙏🏿🙏

### 5/5 — Great

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Genuinely creative

*2024-02-03, version 1.1.2*

What a great little tool to enhance a mix. Wonderful way to create intricate and inspiring chord sequences from just one note and it's free! Thank you dev - you're amazing!
