[Chord List]
You can select from the following patterns for the chord button list display. It supports chord reordering and toggling chord visibility.
- Each key : Displays all types of chord patterns in a list for each key
- Vertical : Displays all types of chord patterns vertically and each key horizontally
- Horizontal : Displays all types of chord patterns horizontally with each key vertically

[Custom pad]
Larger buttons than the chord list are arranged. You can freely set the chord and key for each button.

[Chord Progress]
Add common chord progressions from presets or create your own. You can also edit individual chords, transpose, reorder, and delete chord progressions.

In either case, when the chord button is tapped, the selected chord is played and the chord tone is displayed on the keyboard.
* If you'd like to display all the chord patterns including tension (b9, # 9, 11, # 11, b13, 13), You need In-App Purchase.

[Chord inversion area]
When you select a chord in "Chord List" or "Custom Pad," its root position and inversions appear below the chord button area.
Example:
- CM7 : C E G B (Root position)
- CM7/E : E G B C
- CM7/G : G B C E
- CM7/B : B C E G
The note after "/" indicates the bass note. Scroll horizontally through the inversions and tap a button to play it and display its notes on the keyboard.
The inversion area for "Custom Pad" can be shown or hidden with "Inversion display" in Settings.
