"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:

I like using this app with StepPolyArp. A simple hold function would be very useful, but even better would be some sort of simple loop recorder.
Excellent

Gave my old iPad a new lease on life. Some nice to haves - the chord generator has chords in sharp keys c# - which do correspond to Db but I'd prefer to work in flat keys to match DAW. The chord generator could have option for simple linear progression. Spit out ever chord voicing in respective scale....Eg. 1=first tile=C major . Setting to toggle tile name (chord name) to chord numbering system. Maybe in app purchase determine chords (server side)from midi file send to ios.
Best of it’s class!

Awesome tool for creating harmony and basic structures for compositional ideas based on harmony.Very stable, easy to use. Strumming function is a PLUS! but the speed could be improved on the strumming.
• Fixed an issue affecting note preview while holding a pad
• Minor bugs fixed
