Questions

Before you install

Is it free?

Yes, the whole app. There is nothing to buy inside it and no account to make.

Does it work without a connection?

Yes. The sounds are on your phone, so writing a song and hearing the band work in a basement or on a plane. Only the song catalogue from chordsequence.com needs a connection.

Can I practise one part over and over?

Loop any section on its own, set the tempo anywhere from 40 to 200 BPM and turn on a one-bar count-in.

Can I change the key?

Pick a new key for the whole song, or move it up and down a semitone at a time.

Does it keep playing with the screen off?

Yes, with play and stop on the lock screen.

Is there an iPhone version?

Yes, on the App Store, for iOS 15.0 or later: the same app, with the same rhythms, sounds and export as on Android. On an iPad or a computer, Chord Player runs in the browser.

Where do my songs live?

On your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and deleting the app deletes them with it.

Which languages does it speak?

English and Spanish. It follows your phone, and Android lets you set the app to one or the other on its own.
