I use ChordPolyPad, which i like because of its great versatility. From the same developer that makes Steppolyarp.
If you use audiobus 3, consider the keyboard plugin "MF Keyboard"
SPA, Chordbot, and Chordpolypad are ALL great writers.
I haven't tried SPA. Is it good? Anything special?
I love SPA (and I believe a number of other folks here do too). Consider it an absolutely must have...
Thanks!
StepPolyArp
StepPolyArp not on the iphone so I use Chordflow, Arp, and Arpist.
Don't forget Navichord
Navicord is pretty genius.
And don't forget ChordUp. Universal, now AB3 ready.
If only Navichord had a PER VOICE rhythm pattern thing like Figure. It can happen right?
ThumbJam is also not bad now that he added the arp to it as well. I use the SPA/CPP duo on iPad. Very powerful.
Edit: I meant "not bad" as an arp. Obviously it's a monster of an app even before that was added. It makes for some cool drum variations too in there.
Chordbot and ChordPolyPad are two very different apps.
Chordbot is an auto-arranger: you give it a chord sequence and it will create an arrangement based on a bunch of different styles, it's a neat writing tool.
The others are MIDI controllers. ChordPolyPad is my favourite.
This
I don't really use ChordPolyPad or similar anymore since both Cubasis and BM3 can do chords. I still use Chordbot from time to time to get me started. Same with Odesi, though mostly it's desktop counterpart which is brilliant
I'm just getting into BM3 . Didn't know it had a chord function..
Besides of course "Guitarism", am I correct in assuming the Chordbot might be best for strumming guitar like rhythms? I read someone said that Chordbot but was like "band in a box for iOS "
ChordPolyPad can do strumming though i've never really used it extensively and i agree that Chordbot is more like band in a box for iOS where you choose from premade patterns. AFAIK you can't manually do your own strumming in it
In BM3, while viewing a pad, select keys then chords & scale
Thanks, all!!!!
or, if you are into ex pianos, check the wonderful ChordMaps2!
http://mugglinworks.com/ChordMaps2/
I seem to collect these kind of chord sequence apps for experimenting with chord changes etc or (as a guitar player) recording keyboardesque chord changes over MIDI.
Try Suggester, Navichord, Chordion, Chordy 2, Chordmaps2 (I love option 5), Chordup, ChordPolyPad, Keynality.
Glad I read this thread as I didn't know Cubasis did chords! Would love to see a @thesoundtestroom video on this.
Midiband had so much promise but is now abandonware. Chordbot just got updated recently but really wish it had realtime Chord recognition as Midiband and that would send it over the top as a one man band tool.
SPA is of course StepPolyArp lol
which i have and use, I was just confused by the abbreviation lol
I agree it's a good app
@receder : You've just named them all, lol. Which is your favorite ?
@receder ; Thanks! I'd never heard of "chordmaps2".. looks fab!
@MusicMan4Christ : What do you mean by "realtime chord recognition "? (I know , I know.. I feel so dumb for asking )
@Telstar5 I am still searching for my favourite app of that type. They all have their different strengths, weaknesses and use cases....
For just messing around with which chords might sound good together I like ChordMaps2 and Suggester. For doing the above and then putting them together into some kind of sequence Suggester will do this in a basic way. Navichord is also worth a mention...try the lite version and see if it's for you. I have also literally just discovered Chordbot which I think will become my tool of choice. The lite version is fully functional apart from saving/exporting and it reminds me of an iPad version of Band in a Box although it's actually more like Windows Software called ChordPulse which I also use on my PC. I have also been looking at an app called klimper. There is another thread on this forum about it. I am on the verge of hitting the buy button.
Like it adjusts the playback of whatever pattern is playing according to the key or chord your playing in realtime. So every instrument track, from bass to pads etc adjust making that a One Man Band type of thing. Really awesome! That's what's really missing now in IOS and I hopes Groovebox could be but it won't happen.
Thanks! Yeah but I can see Chordbot doing that in a future update...
It would be the ultimate and if the dev adds midi out that's it!!!!
I would pay for that now.
If I had to pick a single app out of all that were mentioned based on its future it's chordbot . And chordmaps2.
That's a quick conversion! Three comments earlier you'd never even heard of chordmaps 2!
I picked chordmaps 2 up on the very enthusiastic recommendation of @ErrkaPetti while it was on sale. It is absolutely not for me. But I'm not a music theory guy. What I find to be a hideous GUI overstuffed with illegible detail might be exactly what someone else is looking for.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is ChordUp, which for some reason no one is interested in. Super clean layout, beautiful to play, and now AB3 midi-optimized. I find it to be a more playable version of Navichord. It's by the dev who made ChordFlow.
