"ChordPolyPad" is a MIDI chords player that allows you to create chord sets from a large internal library, from any combination of notes, or from chords generated randomly. Each set consists of 8 groups of 16 pads, or 2 groups of 64 pads. In addition to play chords, each pad can generate customizable MIDI controls on its horizontal and vertical axis. It can be used as a standalone application or an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in. The application supports full internal and external MIDI connections for input and output. An internal sound bank is included. The AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required to run the plug-in. The host needs to support the Audio Unit v3 (AUv3) MIDI effect format. Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect: Logic Pro, Cubasis, Beatmaker, AUM, Audiobus, NanoStudio, Auria Pro, apeMatrix. Features: • Standalone application and AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in • 8 groups of 16 pads or 2 groups of 64 pads by preset (128 pads) • MIDI port and MIDI channel assignable for each pad • Customizable X/Y controller for each pad • Velocity assignable for each chord note • Strumming setup by pad • Copy and paste for pads and groups • Draggable chords directly from library • Searching for chords available in a defined scale • Random chords for instant inspiration • Multitasking • Internal sound bank • Receiving MIDI notes and control from external devices • Send MIDI to a virtual port that can be used as MIDI input by other "Core MIDI" compatible applications • Presets manager • "Program Change" support • Preset sharing support by "AirDrop", "Mail", "Message" and other available services • Native iCloud support • "iCloud Drive" support in "Files" app on iOS and in "Finder" on macOS • Full support of "Split View" and "Slide Over" • Undo/Redo Supported MIDI connections: • Virtual "Core MIDI" connections between applications • Any compatible MIDI interface • MIDI over Wifi • MIDI over Bluetooth
Great Product And Support
Really liking this app. Took a little time to understand it. Support was excellent when I e-mailed a question. The support was what sold me on the app.
United StatesChord Poly Pad
I'm a GEE-Tar player. Cant read music, dont play a keyboard, just learned enough about MIDI to be extremely dangerous. But, I gotta say, Im having a blast with this app. And the developer seems to understand the things we need and want in EVERY App., such as AUV3, being both stand-alone, being hosted by AUM and most common DAWs, etc., Ableton-Link sync capability, MIDI In/oUT, bla bla, logical layout, intuitive, as simple as possible, both in-App Manual AND a downloadable PDF ( none of that no OFF-line PDF crap!). DUH! We want to look at offline manual on our older Ipads while figuring out the app on our new Ipad. Highly Recommend, one of the best values out there. Thanks Mr. Coulson. Rob H.
United StatesGreat first impression!!!
Just downloaded this app and I am having a great time playing chord progressions. I Can’t wait to get into more of the detailed settings. This seems like a fun and useful tool to use with other apps to make music intuitive and fun again. It seems to have limited built in sounds in the palate, but I’m pairing with other synth apps to yield more variety of sounds. I had to channel the midi output settings a bit. Maybe I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I got this thing making music rather quickly. I’m thinking this has a lot of potential.
United StatesEasy to Use, Easy to Customize, Extremely Useful
I use this app a lot because it is so useful in so many different work flows. Nice presets, a great chord library, and cool randomization make quick use a breeze. All of the deeper features that I want are there too. Customizing individual note velocities, global transpose, strum settings, MIDI-input of chords as well as midi triggering of chords … this app is really flexible once you get to know it. Great to use when making music on an iPad or iPhone. Also superb to use as a controller for a desktop DAW.
United StatesWish it had velocity input from Cubasis
Along with your other apps, I am finding myself wishing it had some realtime velocity control. I know this is possible from playing within the app but I would like to have the same capability with an external keyboard.
United StatesChange of heart.
I originally gave this 1 star since it was not recording the midi into beatmaker 3. I reached out to the dev and was advised on how to get it going. Now it works “ Beatmaker 3 does not record the MIDI from AUv3 MIDI effects. You need to use Beatmaker 3 virtual keyboard to trigger ChordPolyPad, then it will record the notes played by its own keyboard that will trigger ChordPolyPad. This is not a limitation of ChordPolyPad, but a limitation of Beatmaker 3.”
United StatesBuggy
I can barely click on any chords on my iPad I’m barely getting any sounds
United States
• MIDI controller ranges can now be set to the same minimum and maximum value in order to send a fixed MIDI value • Minor bugs fixed
