Hmmm.. I'm not sure if I understand you properly here. Do you speak of the drag and drop MIDI icon in the chords view? Or does this octave selector alter the octave of the current chord?

Ah, I see! Thanks for the clarification!
BTW: The new chords view has a bigger octave range. This should be interesting for spreading chords.

it's great just its development been stopped , u can't drag and drop chords from it just with using save MIDI etc. so bit outdated but the used concepts are cool ones in it, can be great starting point if u develop some VST based chorder

Hauke,

The 2.0 update looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to it!

I'd still like a way to loop the chord selector and be able to demo different chords in one location in the progression while the progression loops instead of it changing the chord at whatever location the loop is currently at when a chord button is clicked.

Other than that... great job as always! Can't wait.

Yes, this topic (listening to different chord progressions) is on my list. There are various approaches. Maybe I can combine a few..

I somehow missed this program completely, and I love experimenting with this sort of thing. So if I buy the current version now, the upgrade to 2.0 is free? Or would it be better to wait for the new version before buying at this point?

Yep, the upgrade will be free!
Check out the current demo. If you already like Sundog 1.5 it would probably make sense to buy now. Sundog 2.0 won't be cheaper than 1.5.
I think I will probably keep the old price for a very short time when I release 2.0, but then will go up a bit. So if you want to wait for the 2.0 it might make sense to join the newsletter

Sorry, I believe it's closed. Last I heard was in September 2014 and he was working on it then. I don't know why delay on releasing a new version. You could try to contact him via his website.

Show chord tensions: Quickly see which chords are harmonious or mildly dissonant. Very useful to figure out how you can build and release tension in your progressions.

Really awesome Hauke!

Much appreciated, you are doing a great job!

I'm really looking forward to this. Sundog is such a great composition tool.
