Chordana Viewer

Casio has released two new iOS apps, the Chordana Tap and Chordana Viewer. Casio audio technology automatically analyzes chords in your audio files.

You can also use the app to check the chord positions for the instrument as you play. Four virtual instrument sounds are available to choose from and a rhythm to match the song can also be selected. Additional musical instrument sounds and rhythm patterns can be purchased in the Apple store.
