Chordion makes it easy to play common chord changes in any key. In "auto" mode, Chordion's keyboard follows the chords you play, letting you strum up and down or effortlessly pluck out melodies. The built-in drum machine & arpeggiator help you keep the beat.
More experienced users will love the wide range of customization options - from the layout of chords to synthesis parameters to exotic scales. Chordion's built-in synthesis engine is highly tweekable and easy to use - create echoing lead lines, shimmery chimes, and dreamy drones. Chordion also supports MIDI, allowing you to control other instruments using Chordion's unique interface.

Ratings and Reviews
2024 - still exactly what I need
This app is brilliant. After the disappointing cost announcement of the OM-108, I thought I’d look at alternatives. Not only is this a great sounding instrument with tonnes of options, presets, and customisation, but it’s a superb MIDI controller. Get yourself a cheap lightning to female USB-A adapter, and I can connect my iPad to my Model D synth and play all the beautiful scales with ease, just using a printer cable (USB-A to USB-B). Not only that, a MIDI cable coming out of the MIDI THRU port on the Model D, into the MIDI IN of my 20 year old microKorg, and it can control that too. MIDI has been around for such a long time, so great to see it still being used here. You can also split the MIDI signal from this app to do 2 different channels, one for the chords, and one for the arp/touchpad. Best £3 I’ve spent in a long time.
Best "chord" app out there
I have tried a number of midi controller apps for non keyboard players and this is by far the best. The ability to save your own scenes, to configure the chord layout, the note choices within the chord is the best thought out design for all apps. I wish it had a little more control on velocity via an expression wheel but that's all
Great, but no way to save files
I love this app, it’s designed in such a way that it’s really intuitive and even a beginner like me is able to make little tracks that I’m happy with. However, every single track I do, I’m unable to save. When I play the file back, it is in a really high tempo and sounds unrecognisable to what I played. I have been scouring online for a solution for a couple of months to no avail, and even posted on the Olympia noise forums and nobody replied to me. It could be something that I don’t understand as I am still a beginner but saving songs should be pretty simple and since I’m unable to do that, this app becomes more just a nice way to pass time as opposed to an app I could use to create cute little tracks for animations etc. I’m hoping I can get a solution to this as I love the app, and would love to be able to actually hear back what I’m making.
