What is Synthchord?

SynthChord is a chord pad instrument for songwriters and producers that lets you pick a key, tap pads to play chords, and bend them with a joystick. It features a built-in looper to record chord progressions, effects (filter, delay, reverb), and exports MIDI files directly to your DAW. Designed for sketching song ideas quickly without deep music theory knowledge.
