Roland Chord Director

What it is

Roland Chord Director is a free companion app for the GO:KEYS 3 and GO:KEYS 5 keyboards. It provides additional ready-made chord patterns that users can load onto a supported keyboard with a touch. The touch interface also lets users change keys and edit patterns, or create new patterns from their own chord progressions. The app connects to the keyboard through Bluetooth and is available for iOS and Android. Access to pre-made patterns requires a free Roland Account. Roland describes the app as a way to work with chord patterns for favorite songs and new compositions, with a full-band sound. The GO:KEYS 3 and GO:KEYS 5 gained support for Chord Director in system program version 1.11. Roland directs product questions to its Knowledge Base and handles product support through BACKSTAGE. Google Play says the Android app may collect personal information, app activity, and device or other IDs; it reports that data is encrypted in transit and that users can request deletion.
