Build chord progressions visually, generate melodies and motifs, host AUv3 synths, and export MIDI.
CHORDPOND - Visual Chord-Tile Sequencer
CHORDPOND is a visual MIDI composition tool for iPad and iPhone where chord progressions become paths through chord tiles. Drop chords onto a canvas, connect them with paths, hit play, and hear them instantly through the built-in Frog Synth - or route MIDI to your favorite AUv3 instruments, external synths, or DAW.
Built for songwriters, producers, performers, and curious explorers, ChordPond turns harmony into something you can see, touch, and rearrange in seconds.
