Set Global Scale?

This would be a killer feature, set eg D Major, oder F Minor? Thank you!

Enjoying it. Mostly

I like the simplicity of controls and how easy is it experiment.
I want to be able to choose a key that would change the chords (reorder and set to what makes sense in a particular key).
So instead of dm etc I could see 1, 3 etc.
“Contact support” in the app seems to be broken

ChordUp Simply one the best control out here

This controller makes making music fun and enjoyable
The developer has worked hard on this masterpiece

ChordUp -Play Chords App

Friend, What an incredible app! i'm having a blast with it. I'm always looking for some new interesting instrument thats simple, but fun.. its is pure genius in its approach, ease of use. Absolutely brilliant! I love the fact you have three different "types" of instruments included, Pad, String, and whatever that other one was, all cool. What really makes this app shine is the MIDI out, which I effortlessly send into synth apps, etc (Im relatively new to MIDI, so u made it real easy for the user to make a midi connection). Im having the most fun with sending the midi out to Korg Module and also to the Pure Synthesizer app, select a dreamy layered synth, set your app to sustain the notes and WOW! I thought I was in heaven hearing the angels playing an arpeggiated synth guitar. I was going to wait till Black Friday to see if it went on sale, I got apps mixed up and ended up paying full price. I'm not the least bit dissapointed, Son, you deserve every penny for such a well developed, well conceived app. I donr mind paying top dollar for stuff that works. Blessings! Rob "The Watchman"

Basic function of saving presets missing by design

I agree that it is very easy to change chord qualities but if you play different songs chances are that it will be different for the next. Doesn’t make musical sense to have to change chord qualities every time you play a new song. No Auv3 or you would be able to work around in something like AUM. There is IAA but that has loading issues. It will not save different song settings so not a work around but it does give more midi routings. You are stuck with the note order and even though you song doesn’t have some of the chords. Chord boxes are too small to play without looking at the screen. I want a refund but maybe the developer will update so I look at it as funding development. Hope this app is not abandoned like so many other similar apps. Looks like the reviews are phones as even when filtered by most critical they are 5 stars. I doubt my review will get published.

Amazing! One request…

This app is great fun! I’m loving the ability to strum my various synth apps with midi out! It’s so fun to use if you treat it like a live instrument.

My one request for the dev would be to add Haptic Touch for the newer iPhones. The app C. ARP does this very well, and kind of plays the same as the “Expression Performance Mode” in ChordUp but unfortunately that app, although great in its own right, doesn’t have midi out.

It seems kind of trivial, but there’s something about having that extra dimension that really makes you feel like you’re playing an instrument. It would make this already incredible app that much more amazing to me!

Fantastic! But...

Hello Dmitri, I love this app!

The biggest obstacle is it is not AUv3 or even split screen and no MIDI OUT.
Might we see that as an update?

Thank you!

Please add AUV3 support

It is a nice tool. It would be great if you add auv3 support so that you can use it as midifx strumming unit.

👍👍👍

☝️😈

I get it now. , sorry and thanks for the reply

Edit- dope for what it does!

Prompt app support

I was having trouble because even when I had chord locking on, any adjustments to the chord reset when I play a different chord. Dmitry helped me realize that the reason it wasn’t working was that my Threshold (inside the Chord Locking setting) was all the way up. That resolved the issue, all within a couple hours of leaving my feedback here.

Two features I would really like:

- To be able to set any button to any chord, allowing me to play, for example, a G and G7 chord without changing a button back and forth mid-song. That would increase the functionality of this app for me by quite a bit.

- To be able to save these custom chord layouts.

I’d use this app all the time with these changes. I’ve honestly been looking for an app that allows music to be made like this for a long time, and I’m so happy it exists.

Nice! But, please...

Wonderful app, but: 1) I am not a fan of this new grey UI and app icon. Would be great if you could choose to roll back to blue one. 2) I really need an option to name each of the pads or bars with their names accordingly to the chords used. Like A3, G4 and such. Thanks a lot!

Manual somewhere ?

Chord lock doesn’t seem to work here... is there a place where I can find a manual or videos ?

Great app

This is a replacement for Polychord for me (no support or updates for 2 years). This app serves a similar omnichord like purpose. It’s got loads of cool options and features. Would love to see a more Rhodes-y sine wave added in poss future update? Vibrato? But well worth the dosh. Plus can WiFi over to DAW. Perfect!

簡単な弾き語りなどに

音階上でフリック操作をして簡単なコード演奏が出来るアプリ。
一つの音階には9つのコード、CであればC,Cm7,Cm,Cmaj7,C7,Csus2,Csus4,Cdim,Cφ
から選べるのですが、9th等の別のコードに差し替える事は一切できませんので注意。

画面の右側のパッドは6弦スタイルや、ベロシティも以外にもMIDICCを割り当てられるエクスプレッションパッドに切り替える事も出来ます。

MIDI-OUT対応、内蔵楽器も簡易ながら10ほど選べます。

Круто!

Клевое приложение, с помощью которого можно бегло и быстро играть аккордами. Мне нравится использовать его в связке с Garageband. Так гораздо приятнее звучит.

Правда очень хочется, чтобы можно было играть с с
Разными уровнями громкости. Сделайте пожалуйста, чтобы в режиме “Strings” при игре в левой части струн громкость была тихой, а при игре в правой части - громкой. Так же, как в режиме “Exspression pad”.

Так же хочется чтобы с разной динамикой можно было играть и в режиме “Pads”. Правда я н знаю, как это будет лучше реализовать? Так же, как в Гаражбенде: чем сил нее бьешь по экрану, тем громче звук? Или же, как в приложении ThumbsJam: поворачиваешь планшет вверх-вниз и общая громкость изменяется. Учитывая, что во время игры планшет и так будет держаться на весу, это может получиться достаточно удобно.

В любом случае, приложение классное. Если не сказать, что уникальное. Есть много приложений, чтобы играть мелодии. А вот сыграть нормальный аккомпанимент аккордами можно или в Гаражбенде или здесь. И здесь все намного круче. И аккордов больше. Рекомендую!
