Chordjam, the Captain plugins and Scaler are all quite similar with lots of features that overlap. I own all 3 and I'd say it's really down to preference as to which one you like using the most as you could make the argument that anyone of them is better than the others. I never really got along with the Captain plugins, something about them just didn't work well with my workflow. Scaler 2 is fantastic and I do use that occasionally but I just find Chordjam great to just jam out with chords. It is very similar to Captain Play, which actually was my favourite of the Captain plugins, so if you like using that then you probably don't need this one however the voicing and time options I found really great to use within Chordjam. I'd say give the trial a go, see if it works for you because there isn't alot in it other than which you find the nicest to use.
I would probably just do that if I've come up with a bassline first with Riffer, I could then feed the midi output of that into Chordjam (which is then fed into an instrument) so the bass notes are played at chords.
This is fantastic! and you do a great review. Thanks. Is it possible to create custom chords like Scaler 2 ? or are you tied to the list and random generation? I mean, I would love to manually change the notes inside specific picked chords. Another question is it possible to control and play the chords in the PAD section via MIDI notes?
You can't create custom chords within Chordjam but you can totally customise a chord if that makes sense. You can take a chord and then adjust the voicing which will give you inversions of it, you can then save this chord to a pad and recall it later. The pads can be mapped to any midi CC message, just go into the settings and there's full mapping in there (I did a tutorial video on the settings on the AudioModern youtube channel).
Love all your videos bro. This was nice!
im using this my self now and are very happy with it. You do a great review

Yes will be doing a video where I go over my template and plugins I have setup within it that help me get ideas down quick

Great video mate! How would you compare this to captain plugins? I already have captain so just want to know what the differences may be. Cheers!

Can you drag and drop midi in ? Ta
Is this just the same as chthulhu
Similar yes, there are a few plugins that do this kind of thing
can one add custom chord progressions to chordjam?
That's more a Scaler thing, Chordjam is all about triggering chords but you can adjust every chord via the panel at the top
how would you use chordjam and riffer together in your workflow?
