ChordUp -Play Chords App

Friend, What an incredible app! i'm having a blast with it. I'm always looking for some new interesting instrument thats simple, but fun.. its is pure genius in its approach, ease of use. Absolutely brilliant! I love the fact you have three different "types" of instruments included, Pad, String, and whatever that other one was, all cool. What really makes this app shine is the MIDI out, which I effortlessly send into synth apps, etc (Im relatively new to MIDI, so u made it real easy for the user to make a midi connection). Im having the most fun with sending the midi out to Korg Module and also to the Pure Synthesizer app, select a dreamy layered synth, set your app to sustain the notes and WOW! I thought I was in heaven hearing the angels playing an arpeggiated synth guitar. I was going to wait till Black Friday to see if it went on sale, I got apps mixed up and ended up paying full price. I'm not the least bit dissapointed, Son, you deserve every penny for such a well developed, well conceived app. I donr mind paying top dollar for stuff that works. Blessings! Rob "The Watchman"

Amazing! One request…

This app is great fun! I’m loving the ability to strum my various synth apps with midi out! It’s so fun to use if you treat it like a live instrument.

My one request for the dev would be to add Haptic Touch for the newer iPhones. The app C. ARP does this very well, and kind of plays the same as the “Expression Performance Mode” in ChordUp but unfortunately that app, although great in its own right, doesn’t have midi out.

It seems kind of trivial, but there’s something about having that extra dimension that really makes you feel like you’re playing an instrument. It would make this already incredible app that much more amazing to me!

Basic function of saving presets missing by design

I agree that it is very easy to change chord qualities but if you play different songs chances are that it will be different for the next. Doesn’t make musical sense to have to change chord qualities every time you play a new song. No Auv3 or you would be able to work around in something like AUM. There is IAA but that has loading issues. It will not save different song settings so not a work around but it does give more midi routings. You are stuck with the note order and even though you song doesn’t have some of the chords. Chord boxes are too small to play without looking at the screen. I want a refund but maybe the developer will update so I look at it as funding development. Hope this app is not abandoned like so many other similar apps. Looks like the reviews are phones as even when filtered by most critical they are 5 stars. I doubt my review will get published.
