ChordPolyPad

ChordPolyPad creates playable chord sets on MIDI pads, either standalone or in a compatible AUv3 MIDI-effect host.

Our take

Choose for experimenting with chord triggering and expressive MIDI control.

A library, custom notes and random generation give several ways to build a pad layout.

Keep in mind: Plugin use requires a host supporting AUv3 MIDI effects, not merely any audio-plugin host.

What you can do

  • Build up to 128 pads per preset
  • Assign MIDI ports and channels
  • Configure strumming and per-note velocity
  • Use pad X/Y controllers
  • Play the internal sound bank
  • Share presets and use supported iCloud

Good for

  • Musicians exploring chord sets and MIDI performance

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting an included full DAW or universal plugin compatibility

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • Plugin use requires a host supporting AUv3 MIDI effects, not merely any audio-plugin host.

Privacy & permissions

Shared presets and cloud files can expose creative work; review transfer destinations and protect external connection settings.
