What's New in Chords Pad

2.8.0

August 4, 2026

- Added a feature to display the root position and inversions of the selected chord as a list of buttons below the chord list. (Example: CM7, CM7/E, CM7/G, CM7/B) - Changed the keyboard display so chord tones outside the actual playback positions appear dimmer, making the played notes easier to identify.

使いやすい

本来の使い方とは違うのでしょうが、リコーダーや鍵盤の苦手な子の支援につかいました。カスタムにコードを入れて順番にタップすると伴奏になり、演奏に参加できるので重宝しています。
曲に合わせてコードや順番が違うので、カスタムしたパッドを保存できたらいいなぁと思います。有料でいいので、ぜひお願いします。

Response from developer

コメントありがとうございます。 最新版(2.6.0)にて、カスタムパッドで設定したコード一式の保存・読み込みに対応しました。 お試しください。

Fun to play with it

It works pretty well for chord testing and trying out. Wishing it could actually loop the chords sequences, though.

良い

とても使い勝手が良いです。ですが、短調はどうやるのでしょうか。

Emotionally impacting chords

【切にお願い】コード一覧の1画面化を!

とても良いアプリで、子供と音を鳴らして遊んでいます。
コードの並び替えや表示・非表示まで対応いただき、ますます使いやすくなりました。

…が!

iPadでコード一覧を表示させると、「C~A」までしか収まらず、B♭とBのみスクロールが必要となり気持ちよくコード進行ができません。

単純に一つ一つのボタンが大きすぎることが原因で、ここがネックになってしまっています。

表示の大きさ調整も改善いただけると大変うれしく思います。何卒切によろしくお願いします。

Response from developer

【更新】コメントありがとうございます。 Ver.2.5.0 にて、「コード一覧」での、コードの並び替え、コードの表示/非表示の切り替えに対応しました。([設定画面] - [コード一覧の編集] にて設定することができます) よろしくお願いいたします。
