The new Link feature allows you to link triggered pads to corresponding sequences in our Arpeggio Designer device, enabling you to create expressive monophonic and polyphonic phrases based on chord input from Apollo Chord Designer. Link can also be used with multiple Arpeggio Designer devices on different channels, allowing you to trigger mutliple instrument phrases from a single instance of Apollo Chord Designer.

This is hands down the best chord plugin for the launchpad! It let's you play each individual note of the chord and is highly customizable. I have mine set up in a rack, so I can use an expression pedal to fly through chord inversions. I also set up a second footswitch in my teensy, so I can bank between two instances of this, and have access to twice as many chords! This is the first comment I've left in my time browsing this site! I have two features that I'd love to see though. Can you please allow the inversion and bass note to be midi mappable? This would allow me to save a lot of ram, since I currently have 8 instances of this running. Keep up the great work, and if you're looking to buy this, do it! You wont regret it!

This is underwhelming. I had hoped that the initial layout would offer some variations on the 4 lower rows, and that the capabilities would be more like a Theoryboard. Instead, it requires a tedious manual process to set where you want each chord on the pads. It works and performs the basic function that is claims. It's just more limited than one would imagine given the demo video.

- Added enable/disable buttons for each of the 3 layers (chords, free play, pluck). They can be found by the layer octave transposition number boxes on the right. Can be useful for turning layers on/off, when sequencing the device from a MIDI clip.
- Added Trigger Selected On Play option. Enable this if you want the selected chord to automatically play when you start transport.
- Chords can now also be copied between devices (only when both source and target devices are version 1.1 or higher).
- Bug fixes
