Cool app

I’m really enjoying this app

Chordpadx

This is absolutely an amazing app
For any singer who wants to concentrate on his voice performance focusing on singing rather than forming chords is a blessing.
The app allows to assign all the chords you need including inversion positions

Pad not working when pressed

Everything seems to work but when I press the pads nothing happens. I’ve messed with the settings, nothing seems to work
(Will change rating once whatever’s wrong gets fixed)

Response from developer

Please contact support if you have trouble using the app.

This could be a killer app with some enhancements

The ability to explode chords
meaning the explode the notes of any chord onto the 16 pads
Enabling the user to perform bass lines or Melodie’s form the notes contained in the chord

Add ability for strum chords
since the app is AUV3 it does not necessarily need to record midi within the app but it would be nice if you could write your entire song with in the app as it currently stands. The app can be used to generate midi on a track within a DAW.

I could use one instance to crate the chord progression move the midi to my desired piano app
If I could explode the 4 chords into
4 smaller boxes contain 16 squares and work out bass and melody
This concept would better be applied to the standalone app as AUV3 does provided limited space
