*enChord v1 -JUST RELEASED!- THE MIDI SUPER INSTRUMENT!
Posted: 24 Dec 2012 00:47
Hi all Lemurites,
I decided to go public with my current development.
enChord's name is a play of words between "encore" and "chord", pronounced "äNkôrD"
enChord is defined as a harmony modular super algorithm; a 21st century MIDI control super instrument
enChord is a fully working prototype implemented in Lemur's framework, but enChord is also currently being ported to other major touch platforms, like iPad (standalone version), Android, Windows 8, etc. Plans to make enChord a standalone hardware instrument are being discussed.
I lost my day job, so, to help fund the project, I set up an eBay sale, for which you will get the full working version of enChord for Lemur as a thank you for your support.
You can acquire enChord v1 here:

Watch it in action here in YouTube:

See pic attachments to find out more exactly what does what.
FEATURES LIST:
• NoteBoard, a 108 “note canvas” for state of the art chord design and chord progression design.
• ChordLibrary, 5832 immediately available chords at the touch of one finger, featuring avant-garde (pun totally intended!) workflow and ergonomics not ever seen before… with direct audition.
• ScaleLibrary, dozens of musical scales (Major? Harmonic Minor? Gypsy? Bebop? Oriental? Hindu? You name it... they are all in enChord´s ScaleLibrary)
• Real time, generative scale “mood” audition
• One-touch chord analysis and chord progression suggester
• One-touch scale analysis and scale modulation suggester (world’s first thanks to enChord’s unique workflow)
• ChordBank feature for chord storage and direct chord audition of your stored factory or modified chords on every session
• ModBank feature: you can store your scale modulations and go back to your base scale at any time!
• TileBoard: a surface of harmonically perfect “tiles” for ultimate performance with no wrong notes; a dynamic self-regeneration-capable multi-touch instrument with expression control, channel aftertouch control and velocity control for each harmonic Tile for real-world expressivity!
• PadBoard, a dynamic pad-based board (ala MPC) that is dynamically re-built according to the user-selected scale
• MIDI channel selection enabling you to control up to 3 different external instruments at a time
• enChord is compatible with all DAWs that support MIDI
• enChord is compatible with all hardware and software instruments that support MIDI
• enChord features a state of the art, ultra ergonomic, user-friendly interface and workflow. Steve Jobs would be Avantgarde’s best friend
• enChord can be used by anyone who can install a MIDI controller; enChord’s harmony analytics and performance controllers CAN help all musicians of all genres. Musicians and composers of all skill levels will definitely find a use for enChord in their workflow. 100% certainty.
• With your support, more features coming soon...
enChord videos will keep being added here in YouTube:
