HouseBud MIDI Chord Pads

About

HouseBud is a chord instrument for people who want to play immediately, even without piano skills or music theory. Its chord pads are designed as a real performance surface, not just static chord buttons. Each pad includes multiple octave slices, so you can play the same chord in different registers, layer octaves with your fingers, and create fuller, more expressive performances in seconds. Behind the surface, HouseBud uses a harmony engine that builds smooth, pleasing chord voicings for you. Chords are arranged to sound musical together, so it is easy to explore, improvise, and find ideas fast.
