One feature I really like is that the clips are exportable to midi so I can get them in my daw and get whatever sounds I'm looking for.

Great for practice as is, but also can be reworked and refined as needed.

Heard back from developer but his suggestions didn't apply to my system. Strangely enough, I played with it today for a while and it seemed to work fine. Not sure I'll buy it, though, as I've been using BIAB for so many years it's pretty much second nature. So far I like my old 2012 version better than the 2019 that I recently got but probably just need to get used to the changes.

JMO,,but using the trial version here in my music room the tracks sound much better than my BIAB tracks. After some searching found some pretty good country tracks,,,no 4/4 walking bass,,,yet. Also have not tried any editing/arranging,,,stops, pause etc.

But for the price,,,and ease of use,,,thumbs up!!!!

So if I have Chordpulse downloaded on my iPad, and I want more realistic sounds, is there a sound module still being made that can be triggered by this software?
Or am I missing the point of how this is intended to be used?

I totally agree that a modern, more easy to use version of band in the box is about time. I am a Mac user as well and using bootcamp is not an option.

WELLLLLLL....Read all the above comments...Tried the trial verson for 4 days.....Watched demo on youtube.. So here's my comments for what their worth.... I;m staying with BIAB for now. I've used it for almost 20 years. It's easier using the key board to type in the chords. The chord box is to small and hard to see with out glasses. I think the sound is good.I;m sure there will be updates in the future to improve the product. I have the 2012 version of BIAB and am happy with it. I will keep Chord plus on my computer and see where it goes.... Lee Gillepie

Can it export as MP3 files? I'd need that to transfer to my multi-track for practice.

No the only export it has is midi.

There's plenty of free midi to mp3 converters around.

But, that may be more steps than you want to take.

Here's a free online converter if you'd like to try it:

Thanks. Given that, I’ll just stick with BIAB. I don’t find the interface all that complex (I’ve been using it since before version 1 as I was an original beta tester). It has an easy to use conversion utility for getting tracks out of my laptop and into my recorder.

Thanks for the tip on ChordPulse. I put together a quick song and decided to record my steel guitar with it. I am not too happy with the guitar tone, I got a BR800 recorder a couple years ago and haven't really used it, I picked what I thought was a clean sound but it's a bit too distorted. All one take I tried to cover the clams as best I could...

I was surprised how easy it was to get a nice pattern out of ChordPulse.
