If you report a bug, please include as much of the following information as possible:
- Chord Dock version
- Product edition: Lite / Extended / Performance / Full Bundle
- OS and version
- DAW and version
- Plugin format: VST3 / AU
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Expected result
- Actual result
Support covers installation, activation/licensing, product specifications, reproducible technical issues, and pre-purchase questions.
Please note that individual music-production consulting, arrangement advice, and DAW workflow coaching are not included in support.
About Arranger Mode:
Bass, Arp, and Chord Pad patterns are created and edited by the user. They are not AI-generated and they are not purely random. The generated notes follow the chord progression according to the pattern settings.
Drums use independent rhythm patterns and are not generated from the chord progression.
Chord Dock Lite is available as a free version, so you can try the basic workflow before purchasing a larger edition.
I will also use this thread to post important updates, documentation links, and tutorial information.

As it was impossible to finish and submit your contact form I will give my question a (last...) try in here.
And as from the reviews so far there seem to be buying/upgrading problems galore too I wont download and try the lite version without knowing what to expect really from the patterns. Created by the user
How ? Pattern settings ? What settings ? Style based presets ? ......
To be honest: this tells me NOTHING about how your pattern creation really works and as this is the only thing that (maybe....) makes this interesting compared to the dozens of comparable Aps with one coming out new evry day...Bass, Arp, and Chord Pad patterns are created and edited by the user. They are not AI-generated and they are not purely random. The generated notes follow the chord progression according to the pattern settings.

@tatanka
Thanks for the question.
About the contact form: I am planning to improve it, so for now it is also fine to post questions here in the forum.
Regarding Arranger Mode, I think my previous explanation was a bit too abstract. The basic idea is to create patterns using “roles inside the chord”, not just fixed note names.
For example, let’s say the chord progression is C to G.
Over C, the phrase could be:
C-E-G-C
Over G, it could be:
G-B-D-G
The actual note names are different, but if you look at them as chord roles, they are the same:
Root - 3rd - 5th - Root
In Chord Dock’s Arranger Mode, Bass, Arp, and Chord Pad patterns can be created with this kind of idea. In other words, instead of only recording fixed MIDI notes, you can build a pattern as chord roles such as “play the Root”, “play the 3rd”, “play the 5th”, and so on.
During playback, those roles are converted into the actual notes of the current chord progression.
So even with the same pattern, the notes naturally change when the chord changes.
Drums are separate from this. They are a normal sequencer that does not follow the chords.
There are also presets and a Random/Dice function, but they are more like starting points for editing, not a complete automatic style-generation engine.
Since this is a bit hard to explain only with text, I also made a short video showing how the Pattern Editor works:
Please turn on YouTube subtitles when watching it. I do not have narration prepared yet, so for now it is subtitles only. Later, I plan to add voice narration and make the video easier to watch.
P.S. I also noticed your review.
Of course, your review and rating are completely up to you. But if this explanation or the video clears up some misunderstanding, and if you feel that the current review no longer reflects your actual impression, I would appreciate it if you could update it.

Thanks for explanation and video, that gets the pattern things much clearer
And with joining the forum as a place for support and answering my question there is at least a place to ask your questions.
If you come to your side any other way....
The problem with the form is simply that you cant ask one simple question (like I had) and that if ANYTHING is not answered as expacted the questioin could not be submitted, this is no way a support should work.
I will update my review
