About

Jazzlore Chords

Features
Read full description

The chords every jazz musician should know, drawn and played. Most chord apps are encyclopedias — thousands of chords, hundreds of variations, an entry for every alteration you'll never use. Jazzlore Chords is the opposite: a focused reference for the chords that actually appear on every page of every real book. The ones you need to recognize on sight, hear in your inner ear, and voice without thinking. Both notations, side by side. Cmaj7 and C△. C-7 and Cm7. We show you both because the jazz world uses both, and pretending otherwise is how students get confused at jam sessions. Audio for every voicing. Tap to hear the chord played cleanly, in a register that lets you sing the changes back. Staff notation. See the chord written out, not just labelled. Reading is part of the practice. Clean, distraction-free interface. Large, legible, dark by default. Made to sit on top of the piano while you work. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. The app does one thing — show you the chord, sound the chord, get out of the way. Part of the Jazzlore family of jazz reference apps. Free, open source, ad-free, made for musicians.

Some low-end tools are static. Elyfino listens! Feed it a bass line, 808, kick, synth, guitar, drum bus, or cinematic hit, and it builds movement from the source. Make the low end feel larger without losing control. Elyfino is a real-time AUv3 effect for producers, beatmakers, mixers, and sound designers who need controlled low-end and harmonic edge. It combines program-dependent compression, source-tracked subharmonics, fuzz (optional), split-band tone shaping, wet/dry blend, calibrated output, factory presets, user presets, and MIDI control in one focused processor. Key features: - Source-tracked subharmonic generation for bass, 808s, kicks, toms, synths, guitars, impacts, and post sound design. - Comp, Subharmonics, Sub Mix, Sub Focus, and Sub Detect controls for tuning depth, punch, tracking sensitivity, and sustain. - Clean Path routing for low-end reinforcement without fuzz. - Powerful Fuzz for growl, translation, density, and harmonic edge when the sound needs more bite. - Tone, Mix, and Output controls for color, parallel blend, and level-matched gain staging. - 25 factory presets covering Utility, Bass, Sub Design, Drums, Guitar, Synth, Post, and Parallel workflows. - User presets with iCloud-backed sync for keeping custom sounds available across devices signed into iCloud. - MIDI learn, manual CC assignment, default CC mapping, and optional MIDI broadcast for hardware and host control. - Standalone version with Audio Settings, CoreMIDI input routing, and a built-in manual for setup and reference. - Mono and stereo AUv3 effect operation with supported 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz sample rates. Use Elyfino subtly to reinforce fundamentals, harder to make bass and drums shake the earth, or in parallel when you want controlled weight under the original performance.
