What is ChordMaps2? Description of ChordMaps2

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).

ChordMaps2 Pros

InspirationalA hidden gem in the world of IOS music with loads of information to help you create amazing chord progressions. A powerful piece of kit with lots of midi possibilities....amazing, I hope the developer maintains the app as it’s a treasure trove for some serious composition!.Radmedia.co.ukVersion: 1.11

Great concept and utility butUpdate: 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)..DrummieNewbieVersion: 1.16

ChordMaps2 Cons

DisappointingFirst off, this app is pretty useful and works well, but there are a couple peculiarities about it that bother me. For one, the 7th chord of the selected key is missing from most of the maps. But what REALLY irritates me is that you can’t select minor keys in any map except three (out of nine), and even then it’s a bit odd, because the 3rd chord is augmented. So you’re mostly confined to major scales, and only certain fixed chords within each map. This a huge bummer because the whole point of this app is exploring various chord combinations. It feels overpriced for what you're actually given to explore..TBMisamazingVersion: 1.11

Does this app work at all?The fairly incoherent documentation seems to indicate this app will work with Korg Gadget, but there's no way to make Gadget play in the background so you can play chords in chordmaps2. Seems it only works with thumbjam which I'm not going to buy just to find out if this thing does anything at all. Let me know when this app works with audiobus or any other iOS MIDI standard..HijfdkkbxssVersion: 1.11
