About this app

SynthChord is a chord pad synth + MIDI looper for songwriters, producers, beatmakers, and anyone who thinks about music in chord changes. Tap a pad. Hear a full chord. Bend it with the joystick. Loop it. Export the MIDI.

Pick any key, pick any scale (major, minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, harmonic minor, melodic minor) — seven chord pads light up with the diatonic chords. The Nashville Number System is built in: every pad shows the roman numeral next to the absolute chord name, so you build music theory intuition while you play.

Built for fast songwriting sessions on phone, tablet, and Chromebook. No accounts, no signup, no tracking, no ads.

What’s new

Bug fixes and smoother chord-pad control.

— Fixed an audio bug that could leave the app silent on first launch on some Android devices.
— Chord modifier joystick is more accurate: harder to misfire near the center, easier to slide between sectors without flickering through the base chord.
— New Credits & licenses screen under Settings → About.
