Cool but hoping more interactive way

Been playing with ripchords and trying to find similar app for midi chord tool and got to here. The chord timeline is fine, but would be nice to have arpeggios, or maybe strumming and less or control random (based on current chord timeline), maybe also jazz chord and custom chords that can be interactive

Just brilliant!

I love Chordbud2. There are a number of similar apps but it’s so simple to use but still has a great deal of depth to it.
