ChordFlow 2.5.2

ChordFlow is a powerful songwriting tool that allows users to effortlessly create captivating chord progressions and melodies for their songs. With its user-friendly interface and intuitive features, ChordFlow makes the songwriting process fast and easy.

HOW TO USE IT?

1. Create a chord progression.
2. Draw an arpeggio - a rhythmic pattern for your chords.
3. Compose a melody.
4. Build a complete song by adding more sections.
5. Save, share, or export your song as a MIDI file to your preferred DAW.

CHORD PROGRESSION

• Create chord progressions of any length using the intuitive chord selector.
• Select the scale of your chord progression.
• The chord selector displays which chords match the selected scale.
• Easily move chords within the progression using drag and drop gestures.
• Transpose the chord progression by rotating the key wheel (with the lock button unlocked). You can also transpose the key of the scale while keeping the existing chords unchanged (with locked mode).
• View the notes of the selected chord and understand how they relate to the previous and subsequent chords.

ARPEGGIO

• When drawing the arpeggio, you specify relative steps of the chords, which are then translated to absolute notes depending on the currently played chord.
• Customize the length and rate of the arpeggio grid. Length defines the number of steps in the sequence, while rate determines the speed at which the sequence is played.
• Add up to 4 tracks to your arpeggio grid, each with its own color, octave, and number of parallel voices.
• Use different tools to edit tracks, such as drawing complex curves spanning several rows and columns with the Dots tool, drawing long horizontal lines with the Line tool, moving entire tracks along the grid using the Move tool, clearing specific regions with the Eraser tool, or removing entire tracks with the Trash button.
• Set a loop region to repeatedly play only a selected section of your arpeggio.
• Adjust note velocities as per your preference.

MELODY

• Create up to 4 melody tracks.
• Edit melodies in their own grid, which also has length and rate parameters similar to the arpeggio grid.
• Select the root note and scale for the melody grid. You can show or hide non-scale notes using the "Chromatic" switch.
• The melody grid offers the same collection of drawing tools as the arpeggio grid.
• While drawing melodies, you can see which chords correspond to specific steps and which notes in the grid match the chord notes.
• Set a loop region in the melody grid view.
• Undo/Redo functionality works similarly to the arpeggio grid.

SONG STRUCTURE

• Create songs with an unlimited number of sections.
• Each section can have its own chord progression, arpeggio, and melody parts.
• Add, remove, reorder, rename, and clone sections for easy organization.
• Transition smoothly between sections while playing, with the option for quantized or immediate jumps.
• Set a song loop mode: loop one section, loop the entire song, or play the whole song once.

CONNECTIVITY

• Control any CoreMIDI compatible app.
• Connect with desktop synths through USB or Wi-Fi.
• Control hardware synths.
• Specify MIDI destination and channel for each track.
• Use ChordFlow as a MIDI or audio sender in Audiobus.
• Play in sync with other apps running on the same device or on other devices in the same Wi-Fi network using Ableton Link.

SHARE/EXPORT

• Share your projects via AirDrop, Mail, Dropbox, or any other app that supports sharing.
• Export your creations as Standard MIDI files and open them in your preferred DAW, such as Ableton Live, Logic, GarageBand, and more.
