Polychord
Songwriting at your fingertips.
The musical instrument for everyone
Released as one of the original top-ten music apps for iPad over fifteen years ago, Polychord has been used by musicians all around the world. Whether you're a complete novice and just want to explore chords, or a songwriting expert looking for a way to break out of a groove — Polychord has something for everyone.
Play chords from a wide variety of palettes. Strum and solo with ease — everything is in key. Turn on auto-accompany, and a whole band is at your command. Want to dive deeper? Extensive MIDI options let you control your favorite DAW like GarageBand or Logic.
Chord Palettes
Major, minor, jazz, cinematic, rock — explore new musical territory. The chord circles set the tone for the rest of the app, with the strum keys and auto-accompaniment following in harmony.
Auto-Accompany
A whole band at your command with customizable drum synth, a variety of rhythm and bass lines, and an extensive arpeggiator that can play the notes of the chord or a whole catalogue of scales and time signatures.
MIDI Control
Use Polychord to play virtual instruments in your favorite DAW. Turn solos on the strum keys into a grand piano in GarageBand. Split chords into multiple channels to control a whole quartet in Logic Pro.
