How do YOU use Chordion? Chordion is an intuitive and easy to use musical instrument for musical beginners and virtuosos alike. Choose a chord with one hand and play melodies with the other. Never hit a wrong ...
I really like this app and want to use it more frequently There are a few simple labeling improvements that would make this app a lot more helpful Please include the names of the notes on the keyboard for individual notes on the right Also the chords need roman numerals for their degree                 Needs note names TaoEntropy
I don t know many app makers as consistent and intuitive and innovative as Olympia Chordion is yet again a true hit It allows you to find a harmonic space and then explore that space melodically right alongside We need more apps like this one out there and at that really changes the way you interact with and think about music                     Next generation of musical interface tortorareed
I cannot imagine a better app for the musician AND non musician alike Musicians can be as creative as they like and non musicians can be up and making credible music in minutes                     Great App tsteiden
Tapping into chords setup by others is what made this app fun and inspiring for me Now it s gone without a contingency plan             No more cloud presets jclokwork
I LOVE the app but there s no way to get more presets anymore plus the app doesn t work any more You need to add a way to backup presets and to load them             Broken update llerbesto
There are many synthesizer apps that I give 5 stars for but this is the only music app I have that is truly 5 stars Why Not only I keep coming back to it but it is virtually bug free and easy to use The interface is so great that the DRC polyphonic synthesizer probably stole the idea for its chord mode This app is basically a futuristic version of these old Yamaha and Casio rhythm keyboards You have a hexagonal keyboard for chords and you have a vertical keyboard for solo notes You even have a drum machine with three different sound modes It makes a great scratch pad and inspirational tool for many genres of music including ambient I can t wait for 2 0                     A true 5 star music app Korg Fan
A great synth to send midi out to another synth The arpeggiator is great Go ahead and buy it Only complaint is the interface can be a bit confusing but you get used to it                 Very Nice sgr119
I barely even scratched the manual and am already mixing crazy beats I m surprised this app isn t 10 20 it s that good Thanks a lot guys going to get back in the game now                     Amazing app for music creation Noahhhho
It s like if Sound Prism and Thumb Jam did the nasty and made a musical baby Very good sound wonderfully playable and enjoyable to play I ll be using this in recordings for sure Love it                     Very Playable Charky Redbum
Very disappointed     Poor quality poor sound poor functionality Jusitn3711
Lots of fun to play with but for certain kinds of music production very useful                     More than a toy but fun Techbear1980
If you enjoy writing music at ALL GET THIS APP                     Phenomenal App JefFyasko
Idiot proof Will make you wonder why you went to music school or make you glad you didn t 40k in student loans or a few sheckles for this No brainer Gorgeous UI this is really one of the prettiest apps on iOS                     Vital tools for iOS music Bimini Road
This app is fun to play with but it s not a toy With the sound design features ability to change chords and scales and 2 channel MIDI out the possibilities are endless                     Love it kajitokenka
Downloaded this app the other day for my iPad Been a professional musician for some time and in my opinion the app is fantastic Makes great tunes and gives you a great deal of control and variability The beat creator is a big plus                     All inclusive reddrums12
A great songwriting tool and immensely playable                     My favorite MIDI controller Mullet Saison
This is the most fun I have had making music on my ipad and is the closest thing to a physical midi controller Also I work with kids who have emotional disorders behavioral disorders This is my favorite app to use as a bridge to learning more about music theory So much fun The layout forefronts the exploratory part of the creative process                     The most visually compelling instrument for iOS Terry Claymore
I took a shot on this inexpensive little gem It brought my Animoog back to life with awesome chord progressions Then I just thought to give a try with Thor wouldn t that be great It works with Thor man oh yaaaaaaaa                     Works with THOR Loudize
MIDI to Bluetooth would work 100x better than over wifi     Needs Bluetooth support Narakelian
Great design great sound Just very intuitive and I love it                     Very good Paul Eccles
Through the years I have tried many Apps to play accompanying music with our worship team at church Chordion is by far the easiest as well as best sounding application that I have ever used Well done                     The Easiest Accompaniment App HisWorkmanship
This app can do all the things peole said It is also wonderful for just playing and zoning out I love how customizable it is And the keyboard can make so many different sounds if you experiment                     Awesomeness jennacide
Chordion is a fantastic composition tool with a unique sonic character as well The user community has provided presets which you can personalize through tweaking I bought the bundle with Ondes which is a nice theremin type instrument                     Inspiring el_lobo_blanco
There are very apps out there that truly inspire compositions This one does just that It sounds great on its own but it s even more effective as a writing tool Fantastic                     Inspired OneRoomStudios
Seems like it would work better in portrait mode         Alright S. L. Biggs
Has everything I need so far             Thanks michaeljjay
Individual MIDI channel outputs seems to be broken when using two synths each set to a different channel for chords or keyboard melody Otherwise handy app Also Wish it had more jazz voicings as a default offering             Only one MIDI channel junkdrop
This app simply won t open Every single time a few seconds of a black screen then crash close Completely worthless Do not recommend even if free     Doesn t work Nash_Villain
It can basically run but no longer can be used a s an input for Audiobus since the new IOS8 Regardless of update still no go on IOS8             No still not working with Audiobus since IOS8 GunShyCCTV
This app plays well enough on it s own but combine it with midi and you really have no excuse for putting the wrong notes chords together on those other monster synths for iOS Thanks to the team for continued support REally appreciate it                     Take the guess work out breaktime
Graphically well done Its easy to use Sounds good and you can go simple or make the music more complicated I like it                 I like it tensoniqt
I never leave reviews but this app is just so well done I can t resist 5 5                     Amazing Thecontrarian42
For whatever reason midi doesn t work well with Thor When on the main play screen the key board and hexagon make Thor sound really screwy but if you play the hexagon pads in the edit screen it plays just fine Really great program but I hope this is addressed                 Stellar but still bugs WendellRM
Lot s of flexibility and room to get creative                 Excellent sound creation app Mortiferux
The new upgrade does not work well with Soundprism Pro and Audiobus For example I now have to start Soundprism Pro before activating them in Audiobus otherwise Chordion receives no MIDI from Soundprism Pro Please fix                 Midi is not working properly Focusking
I am a guitar player and this is the perfect tool because I can t play chords on a piano This is the best midi controller I could ever dream for I use this in logic and it works perfectly                     5 Stars YordMusic
I was apprehensive about Chordion for some time because I was a little skeptical of some of its features and there are a number of other great Virtual MIDI controllers in the App Store that are either cheaper Synthecaster Fiddlewax Blue or offer a deeper array of features Xynthesizr Analog MIDI Sequencer Chord PolyPad But as it turns out Chordion is a great mid level synth and MIDI controller that is appropriately priced at 3 99 and accessible enough for novice users The interface of Chordion is attractive but also very clean It s also customizable in the sense that you can opt for fewer chord control pads larger or a wider variety of chords on screen smaller pads Although it took me a second to find the MIDI setup I think it s in the instrument menu once I did it linked up with my synth apps very quickly and without any issues Controlling chords and notes is easy there s a slider bar on the right that does individual notes which is basically a manual arppegio of the chord you have activated though I believe you can change the notes Some of the weaker aspects of Chordion probably relate to music theory it has a solid variety of chords and scales but if you want the full array of rare bizarre chords and a generator to tell you waht chords belong in what key Chord PolyPad is your friend albeit at about 3 times the price I ve seen some people downgrade the app as a whole for the drum machine and arppegiator but that strikes me as unfair given that these were add on features in a post release update The drum machine is primarily there not for recording into a DAW but to help you keep time internally in the app However it does have four kits and a pretty decent sounding 808 it even has note accents with double tap Just don t expect a full featured drum machine beacuse that s not what Chordion is The arpeggiator is probably as good as most built into the popular synthesizers and it s a great third option for Virtual MIDI control to go along with chords and single notes All in all an excellent app from Olympia Noise Company I wish it universal so I could also use it on iPhone but it s great on my aging iPad2                     Easy to use Virtual MIDI Chord Controller with some neat add ons HouseOfHomuth
I have nothing but love for this whole team Such a well designed app so impressive and a blast to use Currently using it on a few projects in the studio                     Simply Amazing Jimi Wes
I have been wishing for an app like this for a long time I wish Garage Band could give me this never a wrong note feature This is great fun for those of us who are not naturals at music but who love it any way With this any one can create a tune Thank you to the creators of this great app                     Fantastic Scrapmypic
Basic synth controls to manipulate sound easy to understand layout especially if you understand fundamentals of music in general and fun to play with this app is great for creative types who like to make noises Use it as a MIDI controller for other apps synths use it alone to create impressive sounding melodies and chords or perform live for an audience It might be too simplistic for my taste but I will definitely use it as part of my digital studio Great app                 Fantastic digital instrument Herbatron6
Simple elegant and amazing An incredible way to create beautiful sound and tracks                     Absolutely fantastic Researchdriven
Another fun alternative to an omnichord I m looking forward to the updates                     Christ Christ___
If you like GB smart keys then you will like Chordion One tid bit is to get Audiobus so you can use other sound engines like SampleTank Thumbjam etc Hours and hours of fun I do not play keyboards but I know what I want to play and that s the beauty of Chordion Just load the chords you like and have fun One drawback is you are limited to the chords given but GB is the same way Hey guys app update so we can capture any keyboard keys we want Otherwise fantastic app                 Just what I was looking for air sick
I ll gladly add more stars whenever they resolve the crushing issue I recognize that the app is well done but unfortunately I can t rate it properly if doesn t work I ll keep checking and if they resolved the problem I ll graded again accordingly     Great potential MeandYouandOther
Nice app very creative                     Very Cool Jimmy$44
This is a nicely done music app that is clean modern and built for touch It does what it does well I m just getting started but I see a lot of potential here as a song writing tool This app makes it quick and easy to play with different chord progressions and the apeggiator is very flexible                     Dig it SuperNiCd
Pretty fun and enjoyable and great for when you want to make time fly                     Music MarshallFangirl91
Perfect for coming up with melodies Clean interface plays well with other synths Can t go wrong here                     Great MIDI controller Sean Garland
Even though I just picked up this app last night I can already tell it s one of the best of its kind I couldn t put it down It s a great MIDI controller with a lot of options and tweak ability One can arrange the chord hexagons to be as simple or fairly complex as possible The solo ribbon is also very smart in changing with each chord and also gives you the option to fix it to a particular scale in mind Even if you choose fairly complex chord combinations it s easily laid out and within reach to play the app Polychord should take note I d like to suggest two things to the developer that came to mind 1 It would be great if Chordion had tempo sync both in out I was trying to sync a critter pocket piano MIDI and while it was a lot of fun it was slightly difficult to sync external arps Also I can see this doing great things if it could sync to a DAW 2 Some more factory scales would be nice and even better since Chordion has a great user template community why not have the ability to just upload user scales to the scale list in addition to the wonderful templates people have uploaded Nonetheless I m happy to have found this app and so far it puts most other apps of its breed to shame with the exception to Orphion which is kind of different anyway and Sound Prism Pro also different I hope this developer will continue to develop Chordion further as it has great possibilities                 One of the best 1dionysus

Im not sure why I hadnt heard about this app before but its basically perfect as a midi controller You can completely customize the chords and play any song known to man with ease If you lack a formal musical background then this app is a great way to expand your musical palette                 Most useful musical app in the App Store
Compared to others I this category for use as a simple MIDI instrument this app is solid Powerful enough to be useful without being so complicated that it takes hours to set up I typically use this to send to ableton live                 Just a good app
This is the most fun I have had making music on my ipad and is the closest thing to a physical midi controller Also I work with kids who have emotional disorders behavioral disorders This is my favorite app to use as a bridge to learning more about music theory So much fun The layout forefronts the exploratory part of the creative process                 The most visually compelling instrument for iOS

A great tool If your not a virtuoso this is for you It lays it out teaches and grooves The price is right              Song Writer
Love chordion Super intuitive Great sounds Unique interface My only suggestion would be to have a hold button so you can let a chord or arpeggio drone on without holding it down Great work                 One of my faves
I am a guitar player and this is the perfect tool because I cant play chords on a piano This is the best midi controller I could ever dream for I use this in logic and it works perfectly                 5 Stars
Easy to use as a controller needs some more development is some areas and it would be 5 star app for me              Easy to use
Works now update fixed the glitch              Doesnt work
Loving this app Keeps the creativity going while making music on the iPad The latest update fixed all previous midi issues for me great job and very responsive developer                 Pretty cool app
This app is the best app Ive used as a MIDI controller with the iPad this allows me to do amazing arpeggios and other interesting generative music things like chords and automatic scales this is one of the best programs Ive ever created music with                 The Great Kali
This app plays well enough on its own but combine it with midi and you really have no excuse for putting the wrong noteschords together on those other monster synths for iOS Thanks to the team for continued support REally appreciate it                 Take the guess work out
Great design great sound Just very intuitive and I love it                 Very good
MIDI to Bluetooth would work 100x better than over wifi     Needs Bluetooth support
Been playing around with it for a couple of minutes now Already came up with a cool sounding pattern Highly recommend this for musicians and non musicians                 Great App
The new upgrade does not work well with Soundprism Pro and Audiobus For example I now have to start Soundprism Pro before activating them in Audiobus otherwise Chordion receives no MIDI from Soundprism Pro Please fix              Midi is not working properly
Easy to use fun and a great tool for those of us who do not have learned musical abilities Would recommend to buy              Creative and fun

Forget about the internal sounds This app shines as a virtual midi controller Perhaps youre dissatisfied that GarageBand restricts smart keyboards to only eight sounds If so this is your answer Yes GB will accept virtual midi inputs But dont limit yourself If there is an app you like that doesnt have a chord function and accepts virtual midi youre problem is solved I gave this 4 stars because you cant record midi notes The developer says maybe in a new version Then I will give the remaining star              Must have app
Perfect for coming up with melodies Clean interface plays well with other synths Cant go wrong here                 Great MIDI controller
Excellent MIDI controller for someone who doesnt know how to play music                 Excellent MIDI controller
I like them both but this one is different from Polychord I bought poly first and just bought Chordion during the Thanksgiving sale and was really surprised at the differences Like the arp feature and the sequencer for the drum pattern Its fun and useable Thank you                 This is different from Polychord
I never leave reviews but this app is just so well done I cant resist 55                 Amazing
Lots of flexibility and room to get creative              Excellent sound creation app
Simple elegant and amazing An incredible way to create beautiful sound and tracks                 Absolutely fantastic
Ill gladly add more stars whenever they resolve the crushing issue I recognize that the app is well done but unfortunately I cant rate it properly if doesnt work Ill keep checking and if they resolved the problem Ill graded again accordingly     Great potential
