The base app from the APP STORE does not have any MIDI capability and you will not be able to hear any chords the unless you add this option.
Adding this option will enable you to hear all of the chords in all chord sets when you connect your iphone/ipad to any MIDI Keyboard or add an app that has background sound capability.
If you want to hear the chords on your MIDI keyboard you will need to purchase a MIDI interface for your iphone/ipad/ipod to hear the chords. We use the Line6 Midi Mobilizer II.
If you want to hear the chords on your ipad/iphone without using MIDI cables or WIFI, then you need to get a sound capable app from the AppStore.
01/29/2012 We recommend THUMBJAM as the app to produce sound.
This a video example of how to use Organ+ as an app to hear the chords within our App.
You may also transmit MIDI over WIFI!
In this video we send MIDI to garageband on a Mac
Apple GarageBand for the MAC is just one of many possibilities that will enable you to hear the chords in this APP.
Note:
The following is a list of apps that can run on the ipad/iphone that can provide sound capabilities for our app if you choose not to use MIDI cables and a MIDI interface. However, the quality of the sound produced with our complex chords with these apps is far from optimal and you will get much better sound by using a real keyboard.
