i think chordspace is amazing in terms of ... erm... well... everything.... but i do know if you're looking for something similar, xoxos made something a while back. check it out at www.xoxos.net go to midi stuff.

I agree. Unfortunately, SynthEdit only allows midi learn on note numbers which would limit the maximum number of chords to 128 (theoretically, less in practice). ChordSpace has 226 unique chords per key.
Version 2 will have midi learn, I promise.

Hey, this are good news.

I´ll try to study a bit more the layout.

Can you promise v2 will be free as well?

Thanks!!!

Chordspace is very intuitive and impressive. I would suggest to add a keyboard displaying fingers positions on the keyboard.
I feel Chordspace way of playing is what I always been looking to be happy learning keyboard !
Would it be possible to add a pop/rock chords setup beside of jazz theory ?
Thanks for such a nice tool !

I'd like a row of buttons to play chords I find that I like. I'd drag a chord to a button to set it. I'd click the buttons to play. With this I could quickly assemble 5 or 10 chords and easily trigger them to see how they sound together.

Each button would be a hexagon. The row of buttons could start as a row of empty hexagons, and dragging and dropping a chord replaces the target hex with the selected chord. (If not drag/drop, maybe a "set" button below each hex could set the hex to the last chord played.)

Yes, thats good.

With the TriggerFinger, for example, we´d only need midi learn on every hexagon (chord).

A couple of the many things I'd like to see in v2.

You can remap any ChordSpace chord back to a midi keyboard. It's not drag n drop but it's in there.

I would like to see something like ChordSpace but better laid !! Like on my Mac !!

When ?

Probably never.

ChordSpace is written in SynthEdit. I was hoping to bring out an expanded, multi-platform version but...

This thread has convinced me that I can't pay a c++ programmer and hope to recoup my money. So I'm at a bit of an impasse.

Mapping midi notes to chords - yes, very useful. I'll definitely try that. Thanks!

It would be sad to see you give up on chordspace. I think it's very nice, and shows clear potential to be great. I think the enthusiastic responses in the forums show that.

I bet you're right though about not recouping the fee of a for-hire c++ coder. But maybe there are alternatives? There seem to be many vst developers here. Maybe some do c++ and would be willing to collaborate? Or maybe someone disagrees and believes you could make a profit and would be willing to back it?

Do you have an estimate of how much it would cost to develop v2?

I want to see chordspace survive and grow!

Hey ! Just wanted to let you know the best site I ever seen about chord progression, and chords in general... This guy knows what teaching means !

That is, indeed, a fantastic site. It was one of the first I came across when I was learning about chord progressions and my early attempts at ChordSpace were influenced by his progression maps.
It's good to see that it's been updated.

Something like Chordspace, but better laid?
