    I brought it and love it!

    One issue though: I can not set the range for the randomize options over the Velocity and Strum. (I.e. the bar over each of the collumns for this, which I should be able to drag, to make the range smaller.) Anyone else having this issue?

    Yes, same issue here. Very hard to move the range options on velocity and strum. Added problem with the strum is when I am able to move its range option it doesn’t seem to have any effect.

    Thanks! And that is interesting. I can not been able to move the range at all, no matter how and where I drag.

    Anyway - seems something is wrong, so I have sent Mario a bug report from his homepage. Hopefully some sort of fix will come in the next version.

    Edit: Reply from Mario: "It seems like the issue you're experiencing is because the range area is too small. Another user mentioned it to me as well, and I've made a note of it."

    So hopefully this will be fixed. :-)

  • GavinskiGavinski

    I got some info from the dev about the strum range:

    "The strum range currently only applies to the maximum value because, by
    default, the strum always starts at 0. I’ll review this since I understand it can be confusing.'

    I also reported to him that I can't see on iPad how to adjust the speed range for the repeater, as described in the manual. He agreed there’s a bug here, the speed range for repeats should be adjustable. He’ll look into it.

    Enjoying this! My 23-minute walkthrough is here:

    The mutating chord pad segment near the end of your vid got me, there’s an album’s worth of ideas in that bit.

    I’ll squeeze a bit of time in between work and pick this up in the morning. SOLD!

    Yes, those mutating chords are really well chosen in that bit I think, Overall the presets seem very well put together. I personally love the Repeater function, which also works super well with the mutate feature. It and the strum section are the main difference between this and Chordjam.

    Ah, just watched that bit again, and see you’re randomising presets - I thought that was sounding a bit tasty for a full randomisation of all parameters - my mistake!

    I’ve revisited Chordjam, and although it can produce similar results, that interface just puts me right off using it.

    Feels slightly disappointing, having to replace an app I’ve almost never used with a totally different one (albeit by the original dev), but there is a place for a usable one in my workflow, so I’ll still get this one. A bundle would be nice though…

    Couldn't be a bundle, different devs! This guy worked for Audiomodern as a freelancer, they have absolutely nothing to do with Chord Generator tho

    Ah sorry, I meant a bundle with Harmony Bloom. It’s only a tenner though, so it’s a bit of a cheeky request.

  • GavinskiGavinski

    It is, haha, a tenner is quite a bargain for this, I reckon! No idea whether that is intro or regular mind you

    My POV, This is, hand’s down, the best chord exploration tool in AUv3 format there is.

    It “should” be Scaler2, and if they would have spent even a little effort optimizing for iOS it would be, but its interface is slow and clunky I think.

    The only thing it’s kinda missing is some kind of chord progression tool or ability. Just a basic way to have the pads auto populate with common, uncommon, interesting PROGRESSIONS not just collections of chords.

    Question… I know there’s a global octave, and you have +/-12 for inversions… But how do you set the actual octave per pad?

    Let’s say I want Cmin in the middle octave on pad 1, but I want Cmin on a much lower octave on pad 2?
    I’m not figuring out how to do that…

    I figured it out… Need to change the actual root note! Duh…

    The only thing that's missing for me is the ability to define your own chords by selecting them on a virtual piano keyboard. Most apps like this allow you to do that. For me that's a must have...

  • pseudophysicspseudophysics

    but this one doesn't have polyphonic pitch bend support like chordjam, right?

    Seems not, please request it, Chordjam has that so that is a plus point for Chordjam and a minus for Chord Generator.

    This would be an amazing feature. I completely agree with you on this. I wonder if he’ll consider adding it. If I had to judge it I say it seems like this app is done. Maybe for a 2.0 release but fingers crossed.

    Yeah! :-) I've been using it with Electric Vintage. The variable velocity for each voice really makes it shine!

    Harmony Bloom scales well and is reasonably snappy, is this not the case with the new one?

    I’ll try and pick it up today, was too busy with work yesterday. Enjoying your vids - you seem a big fan of the repeater function!

    I did try again to get some love out of Chordjam, but it’s UI is missing some of the immediacy Chord Generator - for example just playing the chord pads live.

    I noticed the dev was triggering Chord Generator and Harmony Bloom via a single MIDI sequence in his vids, which is something I’m looking forward to experimenting with. Having the two playing in key and sequence together could produce some interesting results.

    The repeater function is superb, I think, yes!

    BTW, I think Monkey Drummer was criticizing the UI of Scaler2, not of Chord Generator. I don't see any problem with the UI of CG, apart from the range sliders, which the dev has said he'll fix.

  • gkillmastergkillmaster

    Would love to be able to assign your own scale notes as mentioned previously and even possibly load microtonal scale files?

    This is bloody marvelous, and is going to replace ChordJam entirely for me, I think.

    Its too dope, the strummer and repeater are insane. Way quicker than scaler 2
