7 Pad : Scales and chords

★★★★★ This is wee gem! Jam packed with all the tools needed by a composer when navigating the perplexing world of melody. Chords, scales, keys, etc. All here. And it's a mad synth, sequencer, arp type thing. Get it now.

★★★★★ This application is amazing. I've only had it for a few minutes; but wow. I don't buy apps. I don't leave reviews. I bought this and am here leaving a review after just a few minutes of playing I'm likely not using it the way intended. I have hardware that doesn't have scale or chord modes. Take an old phone and put it in between my hardware and midi controller. Done. The dev really needs to make the interface look a bit less cluttered, get someone to help make the settings menu a bit easier to follow and create better videos. This app is incredible. If you've ever wanted a scale quantizer; look no further. You also get a fun ribbon controller that can be absolutely insane if you have a large tablet, dual loopers, the ability to have scales, chords and the bass note sent from/to different midi channels and a bazillion scales and chord sets to play with. This would be a $99 VST. Enhancement requests: 1. I'd pay good money to have this as a VST 2. I'd like to assign a midi CC to switch between the 7 sets of pads. 3. The velocity of the pads is difficult to control on the touch screen. I'd like an upper and lower bounds 4. The filter knob in the giant list of scales is difficult to control. A drop-down list would be better. 5. The key layout in the giant list of scales is weird. Use a piano. 6. Please don't take offense; but it looks like this app was designed with PowerPoint. 7. The rainbow ribbon controller is crazy. I would buy it + the scales without anything else. 8. When playing from an external keyboard, you show the note that's played. I'd really like if you showed the chord name if we play a chord. 9. Have you seen the Blokes Midi Hub? If you could make another app with some of those features... that'd be great.

★★☆☆☆ Love the app and use it regularly to control my hardware. Only leaving two stars because of the cheek of having to pay for it twice. Bought the first version only a month or so ago and now have to pay again for a version 2 which has some nice new features but is basically the same thing. Other music app upgrade regularly with new features and don't ask for additional payment each time. I would really appreciate a refund for the 1 version now its no longer supported

★★☆☆☆ Tried it on 2 different keyboards and is buggy on both. Triggers unwanted notes and sounds.
