Unexpected Awesomeness

I’ve tried many apps to find one that can show the chords for the modes and other scales. I don’t use ScaleBud for the intended purpose but for my purpose it is better than any other chord/scale app I’ve found. Version 1 is unfortunately a better layout for my use case than v2.

Scaler

Does exactly what it says, keeps me sounding great!

DO NOT BUY

Won’t function with Arturia midi controllers. This is the OLD version, very limited function. APPLE wrongly packages it with Cem’s other apps. Buy ScaleBud 2 from him instead - it works. DO NOT BUY APPLE’S PACKAGE DEAL.

Thank you so much

Thank you sir for this great app, it really helps creating chord progressions on the go on the fly!✈️ highly recommended 👍🏼

Favorite Controller

This is my favorite way to play keys. I use it with Ableton and Studio One on Mac. As others have mentioned, this doesn’t play well with BM3 as a midi effect. This has to do with how midi is implemented in BM3, not this app. You can find the same issue on desktop when looking at Maschine. Ironically enough, BM3 at it’s core, is Maschine for iPad. And the way you have to implement midi for pads that can also be played chromatically will always cause a software to not play well with MIDI FX. There are a couple work arounds.. but suffice to say, this is not the developers fault.

Love the app. Peace
