ChordPolyPad

"ChordPolyPad" is a MIDI chords player that lets you create chord sets using a large internal library, any custom combination of notes, or randomly generated chords.

Each preset contains either 8 groups of 16 pads or 2 groups of 64 pads, for a total of 128 pads.

In addition to playing chords, each pad can generate customizable MIDI controls on its horizontal and vertical axes, allowing expressive real-time modulation.

"ChordPolyPad" can be used as a standalone application or as an AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in.

The app supports full internal and external MIDI input and output. An internal sound bank is included for immediate use.

The AUv3 MIDI effect plug-in supports multiple instances. A compatible host is required and must support the Audio Unit v3 (AUv3) MIDI effect format.

Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect on iOS:
Logic Pro, Cubasis, Beatmaker, AUM, Audiobus, NanoStudio, Auria Pro, apeMatrix.

Hosts supporting AUv3 MIDI effect on macOS:
