Using Chordion to control Animoog and Magellan

Chordion's new MIDI mode allows you to control other synthesizers using MIDI. Here we explain how to use Virtual MIDI to control Animoog with the keyboard and Magellan with the chord hexagons.

Chordion for iPad is available on the App Store :

Very, very good tutorial! I like how you draw out the description for those who may not know Midi. This will be a great addition to my music app library and will purchase now!!

Thanks for the suggestion, great to hear you are enjoying it. That is a good idea! We will put it on our wish list and look into it.

[MyOneManBand]

that is very kind of you, thanks VERY much for considering it. I am having heaps of fun now and will be sure to leave you a good review on itunes too. all the best guys

[OlympiaNoiseCo]

Yes, you can choose from a number of scales in any key or simply make your own scale by selecting whatever notes you would like.

Thank you for the awesome explanation of how midi works with the iPad. It's great that you made a MIDI mode for Chordion and I'm much more tempted to buy it now, but .... it just doesn't do me, and probably others, much good without being able to record a performance & use Audio Copy. I use all my music apps to "assemble" songs in an iPad DAW such as Auria and this app would be something I would use ... if I could :) So please consider adding ACP to your next upgrade. Thanks, Love this Video!

Great tutorial! Any chance you can show how to move up an octave in Chordion?

Hi Marc, Please refer to the "Keyboard" section of the manual (link in video description).

Hope that helps!

Hi Guys, you have created a beautiful app with amazing sounds, I just wondered if you had considered implimenting MIDI input to syncronise the drum machine and arpegiator to an incoming clock signal....i know i am just one person requestiong this so it probably won't happen, but it would be beautiful to be able to syncronise a chordion performance to an external midi clock.

keep up the good work

Cool concept. I can't get it to really work for my Mini. It would appear that running Animoog alone with Chordion is too much for the iPad to handle. Terrible audio drop outs, static and artifacts. However, I'm sure this is really wonderful with using as a DAW/Softsynth controller for my computer, which I'll be testing out next. One day I'll upgrade to a better iPad, so hopefully I can use this for dual-app control then

Ho thanks i'm a new user of Chorion :).

[Marc_Angel]

[NickMaslou]

Hi, Can anyone help? I am trying to use Chordion with Ableton on PC but effortless... Searched for hundreds of tutorials but all of them are not complete... Please, share if you have a step by step for PC, please!

[stonelark]

Well, yeah. But I need MIDI clock out. Does Chordion supply that?
