Chordana Composer App Reviews

I imagined it would work better. So far I cant recommend the app to anybody. Whistling to the app returns about 10% of the melody that you think would be there. Design looks like Casio calculator. Devs need to step up their game. 2,99 Euro wasted.

Right on, Casio!

Spent an hour with it and cant get a single sound out of it.

Very cool process and ideas. Not worth anything until it works tho. Cant even create a new song at the moment.... Also English translations not the best. Still the best layout and concept in a music app tho! There are too many instruments too.

The current version wont let you save your song, it crashes steadily. Cant contact support via the product page. Problem occur on both iPad and iPhone. Nice concept, terrible execution. Bad purchase.

ワンパターンなのは他の皆さんと同じくです。それ以外にCoreMIDI出力に対応して欲しいです。MIDIファイルにしてメールして、SoundCanvas for iOSで確認するのが面倒すぎです。他にもDropBoxへの保存など、手間を減らせる策はあるはずです。企業だと一度作るための予算しか出ませんか？作りっぱなしにするにはあまりに機能が乏しいです。

Its all ok since i go to load a saved song...the app crash suddenly. Im very very disappointed then.try to fix this since it is rather expensive

Far from what I was whistling.

Does not ask for microphone access on the iPhone 6+ running iOS 8.1.3 and it simply does not work. It tells me to press the record button to begin recording the motif yet, does not record any inputed sound. Would not recommend purchasing until you are actually able to use the app.

Chordata seemed like a great idea, so I thought Id give it a try. It seemed to work well at first, but then went downhill. For example, I saved two songs, but when the app asks if I want to load one and I say yes, it goes to the main screen but the song is not loaded. Then, after a few attempts to record another song, it crashes I the middle of playback. Keep at it, Casio...maybe this will be pretty awesome eventually, but Im not sold yet. (P.S., how about a Classical option for song type?)

This app is just fantastic! Loads of fun, seems to capture all kinds of styles and come up with all sorts of interesting stuff.

I was really looking forward to using this program as advertised, but there is no relationship between the tune I whistle and the notes that appear on the phone. I will say though, typing some random notes into the program and asking it to "write a song" is really funny and very entertaining. Im still mad about the whistling thing, but I may get my moneys worth out of this program yet.

This is fun to play with and really has a lot of potential. Ive used it to generate three "songs" and by adjusting the settings I can get good results. The biggest problem I see is that the songs you save do not include most of your settings. Yes it saves the notes, but what about everything else? Tempo? Instrument selections? Its almost like starting from scratch when you load something you saved. Of course songs you export are locked in with all your settings as you would expect. Lots of other glitches make this seem like something that was released in beta. Still, if they clean this up it will be great.

The main function of whistling a tune into the composer simply doesnt work. I tried for 30 minutes using varied ways of trying to get it to recognize my tune and it failed. A couple of shut downs and one time it generated a tone that would stop even when I closed the app.

Im a musician and got this for a toy. The pitch recognition is crap. Didnt recognize four quarter notes whistled at the same pitch. The interface is a mess, too. Wouldnt use it even if it was free, let alone $3.

If the obvious bugs can be fixed it could be fun. As it is I had to delete it to avoid calamity.

If my own sub-par whistling were to blame, I could understand it. But trying to capture the tune from the opening of the "Twisted Nerve" song from Kill Bill - very clear whistling only - the notes captured were nothing like the notes whistled. I would increase the rating quite a bit if the recognition were fixed.

Its sad because the app is fun to use and produces some decent results. However the insane UI and bugs make it practically unusable. The only export option is .mp4 which is pretty useless to those who want to modify the music. Apparently the app has MIDI out capability, but I dont have the hardware to test it. Worst of all is the app does not re-load the chords from a save file. It will play the song and show the melody line, but not the chords! If the devs add midi export, many of the goofy UI choices would at least be tolerable. But without it this app is at best frustrating to use.

This app is just for fun only. It does not have accurate input capture of the notes from whistle or voice. It is about 40% accurate. It also loses the chord names upon re-loading a saved song. The auto composition comes up with interesting melodies which can be used as a starting idea.

the third update from I buy this app and still have mic problem on my iphone 6 dont waste your mony
