CHORDPOND - Visual Chord-Tile Sequencer

CHORDPOND is a tactile chord sequencer for iPad and iPhone where progressions become paths through chord tiles. Drop a chord on the canvas, draw a path between tiles, hit play - and send the MIDI to any synth on your device or to any AUv3 host.

Built for songwriters, producers, live performers, and playful souls ChordPond turns chord progressions into something you can see, touch, and rearrange in seconds.

Key Features:
- Visual chord tiles on a freeform canvas
- Scale-aware voicings, tensions, inversions, and bass control
- Multiple play modes per tile - Hold, Stutter, Roll / Arp, Motif
- Paths: draw the order tiles trigger in — with per-node duration, gate, and ratchet
- Scenes: multiple progressions per project, switch on the fly
- Progression presets - jazz, pop, modal, and more, applied with one tap
- Per-tile step grid with user notes, velocity, micro-timing, and ratchets
- AUv3 MIDI processor - embeds the full editor in any AUv3 host, follows host transport and tempo, sample-accurate MIDI output
