A chord pad for songwriters and producers. Pick a key. Tap a pad. Bend the chord with the joystick. Record a loop and export a MIDI file you can drop straight into your DAW.
Pick a key and a scale. Seven diatonic chord pads light up. Drag the joystick toward maj7, sus4, m7♭5, dim. Eight variations on the wheel, no theory degree required. Magnitude controls velocity: soft taps stay soft, deep drags get loud.
Hit REC and play. The looper captures the chord pad presses in time, lays them under a BPM-locked playhead, and lets you overdub another layer on top. Two taps, one loop. No DAW gymnastics.
Hit the share icon on the looper. Out comes a .mid
file. Drop it into Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Reaper, or
anything that opens MIDI. SynthChord is for the sketch. Your DAW
is for the song.
Acoustic grand to vintage tape, brass to FM bell. Browse by category, search by name, swap mid-sketch without losing the loop. Bring your own SoundFonts and samples if you have them.
No subscription. No trial countdowns. Buy SynthChord Pro once, keep it across reinstalls and devices on the same store account.
Most DAWs treat chords as an afterthought. Type the notes, draw the MIDI rectangles, hope the harmony works. Most chord-pad apps treat them as a toy. Pretty colors, no useful output, can't get the sketch out of the app.
SynthChord sits between those two. The Nashville Number System is built in: every pad shows its roman numeral and its absolute name, so the relationship between key and chord becomes muscle memory. The looper catches the idea before it slips. The export drops it straight into the next room.
No tracking. No ads. No subscription. Your presets, recordings, and imported sounds never leave your device.
Made by a songwriter, for songwriters.
