BM3 chord pads
Hello!
Is it possible to set pads to different chords? For instance pad one set to Em pad two set to A7 pad three to Gm7 and so on. It seems to me that in chord mode you can only play one kind of chord like only major chords or minor7 and so on. Thanks

Don’t think so bro... would be a good suggestion at Intua forum though..
Yeah I think yr restricted to one kind of chord--would need to sample the chords you want onto new pads and play those...
@JangoMango @hightunnels thank you. This surprises me very much and is very disappointing. I can't think of why one would only want one kind of chord and when it would be useful with chord pads with that restriction. Most songs are made up of different kind of chords.
I personally prefer apps that support constructing any chord on any pad, like the fantastic ChordPolyPad. I don't have the time to scroll through long lists of "known chords" just to find that sometimes my "jazzy dream chord" is not contained anyway. Then the best chord function becomes worthless.
Being able to construct a custom chord collection for each song is so revealing!
Throw them an email. It would be a nice feature. Wonder if you could use a third party midi app to rewrite output from a pad on an empty bank with midi out that gets remapped to your chord on another bank with sample/instrument.
I’ll write in their forum. @rs2000 I too prefer to create my own chords. I’m a very bad keyboard player that’s why I need the one finger chord feature.
If I don't recall l wrong custom chord layout has already been requested by many including me. I requested being able to assign custom chords to any of the pads when chord mode is enabled, this together with an arpeggiator would be a real boon. There are so many 'wishes' and the dudes are working like crazy to make the wish-list shorter but it keeps on getting longer and longer all the time
BM3 3.0.9 should hit the AppStore before X-Mas with yet another round of improvements.
@Samu I hope they release before christmas so they’ll have a christmas without thinking of new releases and ”recharge their batteries”.
True that, but knowing there's a bit of OCD involved I do feel they'll do some coding even during the holidays, I mean after 3.0.9 there's always 3.1
Regarding 'chords' the Cubasis keyboard has quite nice 'chord buttons' above the keyboard that can be customised.
For me personally that would be a better solution...
if I understand you correctly, you actually can do this in the latest version? Each pad will remember its chord setting. Just select the pad then the chord, then the next pad and the next chord. You can’t do it in keys mode since that’s technically one pad.
Really wish you could record the midi of the chords. Makes no sense to me that you can’t do this. One of my few complaints with BM3.
Nope, it's just a long standing request and not something that is 'already there'...
chord. You can’t do it in keys mode since that’s technically one pad.
True, what would be needed is a 'chords mode' in addition to 'keys mode'(ie. toggle pads, keys, chords).
I think some users requested that so they could try out different chords based on the recorded note.
(That's the explanation I got when I asked about the behaviour some time ago).
I have no info what so ever on what priority things will get fixed/implemented. I just report bugs and ideas when I bump into them keeping the 'sampler' as my main focus area.
ChordPolyPad nails this and a lot of other things. You can send the midi to BM3, which means you can record it too. Highly recommended.
@wim I’m looking to buying either Chordpolypad chordflow or navichord not sure which one yet it must have midi learn. @Samu cubasis has great chord pads feature but I need midi learn because I want to play live.
You can record chords from midi input in ChordPolyPad. I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say how well the workflow would be for live playing.
The notes that trigger each pad are fixed I think, though. So, if by midi learn you mean, the ability to learn which note triggers each pad, I don’t think that’s possible. But of course, you could just assign the cop hordes to whichever pad corresponds to the notes you want to play.
I’m not much of a live player, so ymmv.
@wim by midi learn I mean that I want to assign a chord to a pad on my physical midi controller. That’s why I tried with BM3 because it can midi map its pads to a midi controller, but it can’t have different kind of chords.
I assuming each pad on your midi controller is going to send a note. That note is going to trigger one of cpp’s pads. You can put any chord you want on that pad. So I believe that does what you want.
What I’m saying you can’t do is pick which pad you want the pads on your controller to trigger via midi learn. The pads trigger in response to fixed midi notes. You can’t Midi-learn which pads get triggered by which pad on your controller. But I don’t see why that would matter since you can freely assign any chord to any pad. All you need to know is which pads your controller is triggering.
Navichord does have midi learn for which note triggers each pad. It’s not as configurable for custom chord voicings though.
There is no real alternative to adding custom chords to BM3 natively.
Who really wants to switch apps every time she/he likes to enter a chord? Not really.
@wim ok thanks for the info.
@Samu ah yes I did misunderstand. He wants specific chords with different roots.
That's what I wan't too, both key and chord-type per pad
I suck at playing keyboards but if I can put in all the chords needed for a song I can tap them in the correct order during performance. Extra bonus would be to set 'trigger mode' for the chords, ie. latch, strum, arpeggiate etc.
Cubasis chord-pads is good, but, you can’t assign different velocity on different pads (just like the awesome ChordPolyPad app)...
It would be great to have possibilities to have a whole bank of usermade chords in BM3, with ability to get different velocity on every key in the chord...
Our travel together with Beatmaker 3 is exciting... BM3 will become a superapp if we just let Intua do the work we demand...
Mmmm, sequenced ‘KRFT pads’ would be sweet,
