ChordMaps2 is a music app for iPad which allows musicians, songwriters, music educators, and students to explore and improvise chord progressions, melody lines, and bass lines, in both major and minor keys, most of the time tapping with just one or two fingers. The most powerful feature of ChordMaps2 is that users can explore and play common chord progressions by touching chord locations on "Musical Maps." You can work with ChordMaps2 as a... Songwriter - to explore melody lines, bass lines, and chord progressions when you are away from your guitar or keyboard. Music Educator - to demonstrate principles of music theory, (including major and minor scales, diatonic and secondary chords, common chord progressions like IV-V-I, ii-V-I, I-vi-IV-V, I-V-vi-IV, etc.) You can also create spontaneous ear-training exercises, and explore melodic lines and chord progressions with students in an interactive environment. MIDI Musician - to tap out chord sequences and hear them played by one or more of the synth apps on your iPad, or you can send the MIDI information out through a MIDI interface to a computer running a digital audio workstation (DAW) like GarageBand or Logic Pro. How ChordMaps2 Works... ChordMaps2 is a MIDI controller. It works by being paired with a synthesizer app that generates sound. (Example synth apps include ThumbJam, SampleTank, bs-16i, iM1, and many more.) ChordMaps2 sends the MIDI signal; the synth app responds to the MIDI information and creates the audio. Video demonstrations of ChordMaps2 are found at the website. (Click the Developer Website link or visit Mugglinworks.com/ChordMaps2).}

This app has been extremely useful to my songwriting. The developer is super friendly and responsive to any questions I’ve had. He even implemented a feature request I made in a very short period of time. To think that after 10 years this app is still being updated with new and interesting features!

I have been using this app for three years and I am still blown away by how powerful and enlightening the interface and layout is for arranging and writing

I’ve tried all chord apps on the ipad and this one is still the best. To the Dev : please make a Mac midi-AU version, it would be even more useful if we could use it from inside Logic !

This is awesome app. It works on my lovely iPad 3 (iOS 9.3.5). I'd like to suggest a new feature: RECORD button... This could record performance as a MIDI file to save it and to export it. This way a user could catch every idea. so this make the app even more Perfect.

Update: It’s working again. Thank you for the response. I changed my star rating to 5 stars. It stopped working... I can hear any sounds from it (Dec 2020, iOS 14.3).

This update adds the ability to quickly ZOOM in and out of the ChordMap Region, making it easier to play chord progressions. (When zooming in while in Portrait mode, part of the bass keyboard is visible. When zooming in while in Landscape mode, the replay areas to the right of the ChordMap Region are visible.) On the Info screen, the internal values for minimum and maximum MIDI note velocities (which were preset before) can now be adjusted. Also, for demonstration purposes, adding blue circles on screen to indicate finger touches is an option.

This update adds a new option—"Editable Chords and Progressions." Now you can create your own collections of chords and choose exactly which notes you would like to use in each chord. This also allows you to create the voice leading you are looking for as you move from chord to chord. Each "Page" you create can hold up to 45 different chords. There are 32 pages available. (Pages can also be saved to the Files folder and loaded back later, so you are not limited to 32 pages. You can design as many as you like.) IMPORTANT: Please download the pdf called "UnderstandingTheChordMaps2Screen." You can find this pdf at the Developer Website link or by visiting ChordMaps2.com. (The explanation for "Editable Chords and Progressions" begins on Page 10.)
