Why I love Polychord

I've been playing with Polychord 2 for a little while and I really do like this app. When it updated to version 2 I was a little concerned that adding all of the synth features would turn from being a truly delightful app with a unique sound into something different altogether. But it didn't, and I was really pleased by that.

When Polychord first came out I found myself playing with it like some of the old Casio keyboards. The MT65 came to mind for me. It had a wonderful retro feel to it that was a joy to mess about with, but didn't detract from it's usability in any way. So when the update came I thought that might get broken.

It didn't. The new features in version 2 have only added to this app and in a way built on that retro sound. Whenever I start to use the app it always takes up more of my time than I expect as noodling around with it is a pure joy.

I've not tried out the recording part of the update as yet but I'm looking forward to it a lot.

I hope that in subsequent update the app can continue to build on it's original charm whilst bringing mew features. I think that this app has a lot to offer and is built on a great concept.

Let's see where it goes next.
