## What is Chordjam?

Chordjam is an innovative MIDI plugin that builds chords and progression patterns through intuitive user-guided randomization.

Choose from a variety of scale types, Chord types, voicing parameters, rhythms and progressions or have its powerful sequencer conjure up unlimited progression patterns for you, based on any combination of settings, serving up unpredictable but always-musical variations.

Create unique and complex chord structures and infinitely evolving progressions.

Chordjam now supports MPE technology (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) to deliver polyphonic portamento/gliding chords which allows you to bend from any chord to any chord, both in real-time chord triggering or using the sequencer’s progression patterns.

Chordjam is the ultimate real-time compositional assistant for iPad. Designed to feed any Synth, Sampler and anything that accepts MIDI signal both software and hardware. 

Featuring MIDI output support over WiFi or MIDI cable.
Chordjam also supports Ableton Link for tight sync between apps on the same network.

### 2/5 — Fonts too small. Too much purple.

*2026-06-02, version 1.5.4*

The features on this devs apps are great but the UIs are the weakest link. True for all of them. Dev needs to go back to the drawing board literally and design a completely new UI concept.

### 5/5 — Fixed.

*2025-02-11, version 1.5.4*

The developer seems to have fixed the issue of pads being unresponsive sometimes. 5 star app now for sure. Quite beautiful GUIs on their apps also.

### 3/5 — Shame about the UI

*2025-01-13, version 1.5.4*

Some great functionality in this app, but for me it’s totally let down by the user interface, which just puts me off using it.

### 3/5 — Chordjam

*2024-11-18, version 1.5.4*

I’m very new to the app so it’s nice to see devs still improving it.
I just wanted to report that the inbuilt sound returns when changing presets, after having turned it off in settings.

### 1/5 — Looses sync, looses sound, Randomizer work sometimes

*2023-11-29, version 1.5.1*

Love your apps.  This app has issues.  Feel bad asking for a refund, but this is unusable.  I’ll email you guys a video of the issue.

### 5/5 — Mixes sharps and flats

*2023-11-20, version 1.5.1*

I’m just now getting into it and didn’t want to give it a bad review. But did want to say that the key of C minor does not have a D# or G# in it, as this app seems to think. It has an Eb and an Ab. B# minor has a D# and a G# in it. I find this pretty annoying, kind of a speed bump, like misspelled words or bad grammar in prose. It can’t be a big deal to make the few flat keys and sharp keys display correctly. I wonder how confusing this could be for beginning musicians.

### 5/5 — Free update

*2023-05-26, version 1.5.0*

OMG! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Unbelievably cool free update. A real game changer for this tool.

### 4/5 — Useful, with 20/20 vision

*2023-02-03, version 1.1.2*

I got this app for the second time, initially having asked for a refund due to various issues, as part of a bundle. Much better experience this time around, and the app will be useful. I just wish the devs would redesign this - and their other - interfaces to something more useable. I am fortunate to see well and not need glasses, but anyone who has problem peepers will find the tiny controls awakward.

### 5/5 — I think this is great

*2022-12-16, version 1.1.2*

I like what this throws out and shows me. It’s a good learning tool and with some nice fx’d up auv3s on the prowl it can produce some fantastic accompaniments. Some of the criticism regarding the layout is understandable and I would add a note to the developers that a lot of people me included can’t be bothered to watch a video just to understand how to use something , we just want to use it and for it to be easy to get into. 

Some designs understand this others in that very tech way seem to delight in going out of their way in almost saying this is only for people with a tech mind kind of deal…. I think halfway harry is good tbh. Great app and I love and have all your apps too, please keep going on this vibe.

### 2/5 — Unable to change the sound

*2022-11-02, version 1.1.2*

I thought this would be a cool way to write new songs and come up with new ideas. However, when I plug in my keyboard and play, I can’t change the tone of the sound at all. I’m stuck with this electronic sound that’s built into the app. 
I wish that I could just hear the chords with a nice grand piano tone or something like that.
Other than that, I’m also frustrated that there are hardly any resources online that educate on how to use this app. I found one video on YouTube, but it was an hour long and the guy seemed hard to understand. I wish there was some sort of help for this app.

I’m a little bummed that I paid for it to be honest. I really wish I could change the sound.
