Thanks for another wonderful walkthrough/tutorial. If selected, I would love a copy of ChordJam on iOS. Thanks!

[@mikemooney2359]

Great work, as ever, Gav! I’ve bought this for iPad on the strength of your review and if I’m one of the lucky ones, I’d love the desktop version! Keep up the superb work, brother.

[@8974abcd1234]

Thanks for another great video. Would love a copy of chordjam - mac or ios

[@marcuspresident]

Ohh I forgot to mention that I would like to compete for chordjam for iOs ☺️

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Nige

[@benuto6517]

Your critical reviews get into the nitty gritty of how things work and what is possible. Definitely appreciated. If I win a copy, Chrodjam will launch my IOS based composition to another level. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thnx for appreciating Ben!

[@SighDown]

I am just deliriously lost in this wonderful app…..Gav, thanks so much for this tutorial; once again, you have saved the day!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers man, glad you’re enjoying!

[@kajitokenka]

Looks like another fun app from Audiomodern! Thanks for the detailed overview/review. If I win the contest, I'd happily take an iOS version of Chordjam. Thanks!

[@heleste.x]

A must-have for sure! Thanks for the walkthrough! Chordjam iOS

[@DinMcHine]

Audiomodern becomes one of my favorite Developers recently. And now empire strikes again! )))) Gav, thank you and Devs for such amazing videos and products! ))) For sure I would like to win this app because others I have already! ))) Chordjam for iOS, please!

[@timelapsedigital2536]

Love this, genius stuff, you too Gavin! Chordjam for Windows would be awesome.

[@tonedef71]

Thank you for putting together this walk-through and for having the give-away. I have all of the other AudioModern plugins, and now I want to have this one (ChordJam for Windows desktop), too.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

My pleasure!

[@bristol_manor]

This feels like the chord app I’ve been waiting for on iOS for years! Looks great! Hope I win!

[@drakecotton7930]

I'm glad I came across this channel, very nice videos! I want Chordjam of course :D (for windows) Good luck everyone!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks Drake, indeed, bunch of good stiff waiting for you in the archives, cheers! Spread the love 😊😁

[@electronicbubonic]

This seems so usable. Would love Chordjam for ios would be amazing. Thanks for another great video!

[@olego6507]

Audiomodern makes simple and nice plugins! I definitely want this plugin for Windows!

[@ben_ctr]

Interesting new tool for my iPad. If I win I would be happy with Chordjam for iOS :) Thanx for the review Gav !

[@2ka244]

Analysis of MIDI makes a lot of sense. I am in for the desktop version thanks.

[@manhat55]

Keep the great videos coming- chordjam iOS would be awesome

[@joshuagood4237]

Thanks for the a chance of winning Chordjam ios👍 Good luck to everyone 👍

[@void101com]

OMG, instantly bought the Desktop Version, the iPad Version would be cool too :-) Many thanks for the walkthrough!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

U should have bought the cheap one and tried to win the pricey one haha

[@void101com]

@@GavinskisTutorials yep, I've been too fast, but it's worth it anyway :-)

[@andrewmagee9047]

I always feel like I'm cheating when I use apps like this, but I also feel like I'm making music rather than just noise! Would love to win this on IOS. Thanks for a great walkthrough.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I have no scruples. Taste is more important than musical skill these days and that is great imo

[@azmaIS]

Thanks for the excellent overview, this one is a must-buy!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

My pleasure 😊

[@iainspence9680]

Excellent as always - many thanks 👍😎 Chordjam please - I have all the others!! 😊

[@hannes3864]

Looks interesting and inspiring to me, so: Need (for iOS :). And thanks for the introduction, Gavinski!

[@Peter-gu9ph]

Great video - thank you for the detailed review. Great to hear tweaks are coming from the developer. You've convinced me to pick it up now - while it's on intro special at Plugin Boutique.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Nicebone Peter, have fun!

[@andyhunt171]

Another must-have app. Great tutorial 👍

[@ukimperialbeats]

Great review. Seems like a good number are now on the market with different advantages - thanks for the in-depth walkthrough v. helpful!! Would throw my name in the hat for ChordJam - desktop.

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

I’m a BIG fan (6’1” 200 lbs) of both Riffer and their filter sequencer app (can’t remember name). It was a Gavinski tutorial that got me into Riffer when I was first trying to figure iOS music out-thanks for that Gavin-and it’s been Riffer Madness ever since! Not really, but I liked the play on words. But their apps are really quite good; wouldn’t mind winning this new Chord whatever it’s called for iOS. Good luck to everyone!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Riffer Madness 🤣🤣

[@senhorlampada]

Wow... Amazing tool. Love your overview / walkthrough. Would really dig winning a Chordjam IOS

[@etherealanthem]

This is tremendous! I bought it before you were halfway done... ;) If not off limits, I would definitely choose Atom as my prize...

[@GavinskisTutorials]

😂

[@Drami_Corva]

Just bought it, because it seemed practical. I was fooling around with it, thinking I knew what I was doing. apparently not, haha! thanks for this video! As in terms of the competition, I would love to win the Playbeat desktop version. Keep it up!

[@susanneengel403]

This app look so groovy~right up my street and in my wheelhouse too! Thank you so much for this fab tutorial yet again Gavin. Awesome great work as per usual! I would love to jam on Chordjam the app on IOS if I should be so lucky! Thanks and hats off to the Dev & to the Great Gavinski. Cheers, ED

[@manuelzito]

Very very interesting app!!! Beautiful

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I guess u might enjoy experimenting with the thing I did using this with left hand and playing single notes with right, it's fun!

[@33vinylchunk45]

thx gav, this would be another great one for the arsenal! ipad version for the win! all the best to the fellowship of IOS

[@mistersimonstrange]

Love the video Gav, I love chord sequences. I'm in for an iOS Chordjam. :)

[@bansheezbansheez]

Good to see an app taking one finger chords settings to another level of tweaking, definitely would like the iOS for this

[@dougjord7833]

This is amazing! Audiomodern softwares are so workflow increasers. I will buy it for iOS today, so if I win (I still believe this day is coming lmao) I would like Chordjam for macOS. Thanks, Gavs!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

That sounds like a plan!

[@stevehood418]

Love these sort of apps, on screen midi interfaces and chord player, cant have enough of them!

[@Michael_Lak]

This is right up my alley. Great tutorial. Chordjam ios

[@ToastedGhost]

Absolutely love Riffer. Chord Jam if half as good will be wild!

[@gothamoddisee]

I’ve been wishing for these functions in a single app for years, so very cool. Would love a shot at winning Chordjam for iOS.

[@Spineloro]

Excellent review, I discovered features I ignored ! This Pure Piano for iOS sounds amazing btw !

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks! As does their recent upright piano!

[@JPGPakua]

I have two Audiomodern apps and really like them. This one looks great. I would like to throw my hat in for the iOS version of Chordjam.

[@lrkx_]

Oh man, another app I had no idea I needed! I was just getting Riffer embedded into the workflow, and now this comes along. Can see a whole diversion into generative ambient coming up. Thanks Gavinski 😀

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Oh yeah, expect a lot of ambient usage from me on the back of this one!

[@corvid19]

Maybe this is the sauce that finally makes up for my weak chord knowledge. Audiomodern’s apps have great randomizing features, Riffer has been great for making random drum breaks. I’d love Chordjam for Mac.

[@EZmpc]

This is very interesting as an educational application - helping it’s users become more proficient in composition beyond simply being a “cool sound” generator. I would be interested in chordjam for iOS. Thanks again for your tutorial!

[@Notte_Bocks]

Awesome 🤪 well done, Mr. G 🙏🏻 Chordjam for IOS 😋 Good luck everyone

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Good luck to you too Notte!

[@gbcraw]

I was just reading about Chordjam yesterday, actually! And I've got Riffer and Filterstep. That's so generous of Audiomodern to also offer their Mac/Windows apps as well as IOS! Still, I'm trying to stay focused and keep the budget under control, so I'd love a copy of IOS Chordjam. You convinced me. :)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Wise, keep that desktop gas under control lol. One thing leads to another hehe

[@matzsound]

Nice tool for my Mac. Keep up the good work!

[@carlosn7244]

As usual, very detailed and useful review. Great app to use as source of random inspiration. I would love to have ChordJam for Windows.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Carlos!

[@Motizzie95]

Great video! There's a lot to this plug-in and the time and detail given to each section is MUCH appreciated (sincere comment, not just for the contest 😊). Thanks again! I just purchased ChordJam and have used Riffer for awhile. I would love to add PlayBeat 2 for Windows.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers, deep and thorough is my style, welcome to the channel

[@katlegotladi2116]

Having this on iOS and desktop could be a game changer for me! I pulled the trigger on an iOS version immediately but I wouldn’t mind a desktop copy still 🙋🏽‍♂️ great app!

[@SkipHunt]

Glad to see this developer still kickin' it. I love their other apps. Love Riffer, Filterstep, and Playbeat. If I'm lucky enough to win, I'd prefer the macOS version of Chordjam

[@anthonyrodriguez2747]

I love this company. I already have riffer and playbeat and I love them both. I hope I can win a copy of this. Thanks you for making a great in depth video on this. If I win in would like ChordJam on iOS.

[@gurumonkey]

great as usual Gavin! I would enter for chordjam as well!

[@TonyRodz11]

Great video Gavinski. I look forward to your tutorials when they come out. Keep up the amazing work. =] I would like the Chordjam for iOS. Thanks again

[@mikewebb9894]

Love to play with is on iOS! Sounds like they are going to make it even better. Thanks again for such an in depth video.

[@helmski]

Another deep dive on on a complex app. Great work Gav! Your quality is consistently high. Chordjam for iOS would be nice.

[@NinaAndTheDynamics]

thanks, gavin, for another great review! would love to try chordjam on windows.

[@bobbiecruz6351]

Looking forward to play around with this app! Thanks for the walkthrough, Gavinski!

[@samserious4483]

Chordjam windows. Thanks for the chance!

[@strangersun7721]

Thanks for the video! I own all the other developer's apps. Would love chordjam for desktop. Take care!

[@degreeoffreedom2268]

It is a app with great potential. thanks Gavin. I would go for chordjam iOS.

[@PunchPinch]

This looks good. Thanks for the walkthrough. Love apps that can make me look like I know what I’m doing! I’d like to try chordjam on ios 👍

[@iosmusicman]

Brilliant. I had to buy it straight away but would love to have a stab at the draw for the desktop version. I got the KB1 too. Looks very useful when no ROLI to hand. Cheers. Lee

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Kb-1 is useful, as as geoshred and velocity keyboard, all with their own pros and cons

[@lostinfoundation]

A new Audiomodern? Niiiiiice...chordjam for me (Windows)

[@kasandratopez348]

Great tutorial as always. Thanks.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks Kasandra!

[@chris6442]

Finally a chord sequencer that lives up to its name. Quite similar to Scaler, though not (yet) as comprehensive, it's great to see that something very similar is now available for iOS. It's the concept I was really hoping for from ChordBud. I hope that Audiomodern will maintain this app constantly, providing it with functional updates and in this way establish it as an unbeatable product overall. I hope you take a cue from Victor Porof's Atom 2 to take Chordjam to a unique and unrivaled level. Since I already have the exquisite Riffer and Playbeat, Chordjam is definitely on my wish list. Thank you for this once again very detailed walkthrough with all the benevolent but also partly relentlessly critical statements. That's what I like and expect from you, and it's something you can rely on.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

It's rough to be on the receiving end of the old gavinski one-two, but the gloves are padded, they know the benefits, and these particular devs were very appreciative. 😉😉

[@jolieuke]

Hi! Thanks again for another great tutorial. I’d love the chordjam iOS version.

[@schmotown]

This this very useful. Thanks, Gav. If I’m lucky, I’ll have Chordjam for iOS.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Schmo, my good dude!

[@SmileyFabian]

Thanks for the great video and giveaway. I would love to get a Windows version of Playbeat. :)

[@samueledwards6145]

Once again thank you for another wonderful video, I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THE DESKTOP MAC VERSION.

[@bitFetcher]

A nice run through! This app has some interesting nooks and crannies to explore! I have the other AudioModern apps and I like the way they thread common elements through their apps. They also make it easy to get going with a “roll of the dice”! Sure, I’d love to add the iOS version of ChordJam to my toolbox! I agree about the contrast; I find several apps could benefit from a lesson in color theory. Thanks Gavinski!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Yeah, please write to them and tell them the contrast sucks, because on this point they remain unconvinced and may not fix it

[@carlosjazzpick]

Two great things have happened to me these last few days. I got Chordjam and discovered your fantastic channel (I don't know how I missed it). Reading the manual plus your detailed video made an instant CJ expert out of me :-) . Chordjam is a fascinating experience of creativity with and unique approach. The 'under control' randomized option is an adventure that expands the horizons of music production for beginners and advanced pro's alike. But if you want to walk your own path, you turn it off and that's it. About the details to improve or include in next version, my main wish is at the assigning the PADs to MIDI notes instead just CC msgs and the user setting order exchange of the PAD chords. Also would be great to be able to change the PADs from arpeggio to chord at a later time. Max is a very attentive and kind person, I am sure he will sort out most of the details you mentioned.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I’m sure he will, he’s a great guy. Glad u dig the channel!

[@thaill-eyez7030]

Awesome tutorial. Good work flow. Good feedback on the plugin. Good price too. would love to use it for windows💯💯💯.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers man!

[@MickTurnerMusic]

Thanks for a thorough walkthrough, as usual, Gavin. This sounds great, and I love the randomisation features. Great for inspiration! Also good to know that more midi features will be added. It would be great to win the iOS version of this.🤘🏼

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Mick!

[@brandonkrochak1668]

Thanks for this video and giveaway. Chordjam windows :p

[@Vinylmad]

Great informative video Gavinski! Please put me in the hat for a copy of Chordjam desktop version for the Mac. Big ups.

[@robthequiet]

Looks like fun. I would go with Chordjam for iPad.

[@royor3]

robots + humans coexisting in harmony.. 🤣 (cue: What a Wonderful World 🎵) ChordJam looks to be a winner for 🐈 cat-on-a-piano 🎹 type players.. 🙋‍♂️ The randomization features are excellent.. the interface is gorgeous + pretty straightforward.. I see at least 4 Infinty buttons.. I’ll be using them extensively.. Trigger buttons are really interesting.. definitely for the arp rate + chord type sections.. I really liked your idea of using ChordJam + KB-1 to play 2 Pure Pianos.. left hand comping chords while the right tickles the ivories.. 👍 ❤️ Riffer + Playbeat! This will be a great addition to the family.. Thanks a ton Gav for this walk through.. 🙏 I already know how to use it.. Also thank you for being such a great beta tester for many of these apps.. your input is on the money as far as fixing or adding features.. by the time we get our hands on the app, things are flowing as they should be.. well done sir.. 👏 I would love to win a copy of ChordJam for iOS..

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers man! People only see the video, it is just the top of the iceberg of the damn huge amount of work going on under the surface. Thanks for appreciating it Roy! Cat on a piano, lol, that is definitely me too

[@XISTH]

Cool app, great video!

[@saintmoz]

What an amazing app, for me personally this is a god send. Great to hear the developer is already working on improvements, we have seen what they’ve done with Riffer and it was bare bones on release, compared to where it is today. I will be buying the IOS version. As a new Mac Mini owner my choice is the MAC version.

[@iosmusicman]

Ok, no win but loving the app and re-watching parts of the tutorial, so it looks like I’m going to have to fork out for the desktop version as well. Damn! Cheers. Lee

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Yikes!

[@wiazek]

this is deeeep. Definitely Chordjam for ios :)

[@peanutcram7927]

Thx. Nice app, great tutorial. I’d go for chordjam on iOS

[@PhaseShiftMusic]

Some awesome & interesting generative + randomization features as with all AudioModern apps. Would love to have this for desktop if I am lucky please 🤞🏽

Very interesting app with special randomise options.

[@ViktorManchev]

Definitely would love to have this on iOS, the feel and randomizing of chords is something I sorely miss.

[@DouglasChappelle]

I'm just starting my iOS music making journey. I've got lots to learn but your videos are helping a great deal. I would love a copy of Chordjam for iOS.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Great Douglas!

[@FrankLinnemann]

Thanks for the video!

[@SharifKerbage]

Love the control over each of the voices, it "humanize" chord sequences massively. I'm in for an iOS copy of Chordjam.

[@davidfowler4675]

Hello, Fantastic walkthrough as always, very detailed and informative! Audiomodern makes things extremely well throughout and always looking to improve on their performance and smart usage. If the improvements you suggested are implemented they will be fantastic improvements… thank you for all your hard work and time to go into great detail! If I am one of the lucky, a copy of the Chordjam mac desktop, please!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers David!

[@PoppaDocRocks]

I’m a definite fan of Audio Modern. I love their use of randomization. They were very receptive to user input on Playbeat so I’m sure that will continue. Ahh… I want this now. Lol.

[@deniloaf]

Cool app! I’m in for the Chordjam iOS version

[@rbh615]

Looks awesome! If I win I would like the iOS version of chord jam.

[@funksmaname]

This looks super useful... would love this as part of my iOS toolkit :)

[@mediawebrecords]

Hi....very nice deep in ...video..thnak you...and for shure will have this apps

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thnx!

[@StutteringThomas]

Thx. Big fan of your videos. Thank you. ChordJam iOS

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks Jean-Noel!

[@Eurikon]

Definitely see creative uses for this! could use a copy :D yeah +1 for midi note triggering of pads, also maybe if possible to have different play-speed for robot and human sequences. Thanks for the video, as usual! Thumbsup added, would be interested in a ChordJam Mac version.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

U can do different play speeds for any chord in either of those sections!

[@Cloudface45]

Thankyou Gavinski! This was a useful video and I would love to own a copy of Chordjam for windows.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank u badger 😁

[@gkillmaster]

Looking forward to watching this Gav! I'm in a rush and out of words at the moment. Just commenting so as to be in the win pool. Thanks in advance for what I know is going to be a great tutorial to get me started with this. If I don't win, I'm going to buy it for sure! Thanks again for what you do. I could never do what you do. I have some idea just what goes into it! Probably multiply that by 5...

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha, sounds about right!

[@CloudRacer-9]

I love Riffer, but I think I will love Chordjam even more!! ❤️

[@EnriquePage91]

for sure, Riffer in my eyes should have always been what Chordjam is. Not that it isn't great by itself! But it's just the polyphony.... Plus obviously this is far more complex too! It seems to me they have been prioritizing putting out the apps they could realistically put out the fastest, perhaps Chordjam took this long to get to us because it pretty much required of the funds their other apps generated for them, since obviously they have been expanding the amount of functionality they include in their generators substantially over their releases. It seems to me that this is by FAR AudioModern's best app. I don't think I'll be using any of their other apps much anymore, to be honest, and I still don't regret buying them regardless. this is an incredible AU on the making, and given how receptive to feedback they are we can only expect it to get better. when you think about it, was Chordjam ever the final goal? I'm excited to see what's coming next from AudioModern.. it will surely be massive. This already is imo. It really does encompass so many different AUs I use regularly to precisely do the stuff that it seems I might just be able to do with this little app from now on. I think from now on, all my sequencing will be done with Step Poly Arp and Chordjam. Maaaybe some Atom here and there although I prefer it as a midi "timeline" so to speak, rather than a sequencer, but well that's another discussion so I'll just stop lol.

[@arslanr]

Great video as always. Thank you. Hoping to win ChordJam.
