Shoulda Woulda Coulda Polychord 2 App

Polychord is drums, bass, chords, and accompaniment into one.

Here is what the company had to say: “Press one of the chord circles and your on you’re way to writing a song. Drums and bass follow the chords automatically, but the coolest part is probably the strum keys on the right: simply swipe your finger over the yellow keys (or chrome keys in version 2) to strum a chord.”

Changes in Polychord 2

• Record and share songs with SoundCloud.
• New UI made in collaboration with Jonas Eriksson.
• Palettes, so you can save your settings.
• Palette f-keys, for switching between palettes.
• Sine, Sawtooth, Triangle and Square Waves for each instrument. (an ‘analogue simulation’ technique was used for generating the synthesizer waves, which warms them up a bit.)
• Bitshift features for drums: full control over the reduction of bits / bitrate, allowing you to decimate the sound or add a touch of noise.
• Basic low-pass filtering, resonance for each instrument.
• Tremolo Depth controls.
• Scale mode for the strum keys: rather than the strum keys playing the notes of the current chord, you can set them to other scales.
• Arpeggiator based on time-signatures. Control over the speed and count of the arpeggiator — allows you to mix a different time signature over the beat. Arpeggiator now has the same synth controls as the other instruments.
• The UI now highlights the last chord you pressed, rather than always highlighting the root-note.
• Octave control for every instrument.
• Precise BPM control, with text input.
• A global on/off switch for Auto Accompany.
• File manager for renaming/deleting/loading palettes, songs, etc.
• Pitch bending on strum keys (sends out MIDI too).
• Skins panel lets you switch back to the classic color scheme.
