    Chordspace is a nifty app that installs like an instrument, while it’s actually a MIDI controller.
    Basically, you click hexagons and it plays chords in the key you’re working in. nice.
    Now I know I have to load up a synth, and load up chordspace, and enable MIDI output for chordspace. It then says (in example using sonar) that Chordspace should appear as a MIDI input for my synth (so I can hear something when clicking hexagons). This is problem 1 – I don’t see it as an input for the organ I’m using. It then says I should select MIDI Omni as the channel. Then, it says I have to activate the MIDI Input Echo function in Sonar… is there something like this in Podium?

    thanks for the help!

    I’m not sure how Chordspace MIDI output works. Podium does not yet support streaming of plugin MIDI output into other plugins, so this could be the problem. I tried the chordspace.com, but it seems the website has been taken down?

    yeah they seem to have let their domain expire, even though they have just released a new product.

    you can download chordspace ver 1.0 from http://www.kvraudio.com/get/1945.html if you’re interested in giving it a go. I’m using version 2.0 I think, though I bet the principles in getting it working are the same.

    thanks for the help so far… I have a business enquiry for you.. can I PM you?

    …just if anyone was still interested, now it seems chordspace is available again at the http://www.chordspace.com website.

    Thanks for the heads up. I would like to play with this plugin 🙂 Hopefully it can work in Podium. 8)

    I fist became aware of the Chordspace plugin through the CM 200 best plugins special.

    IMO this is an awesome creativity/music theory/productivity tool and would love to see it working in Podium.

    So I guess that’s …. +1!

    Well there is a workaround (simply tell me if it starts to bore you, but as I come from EnergyXT I thought I’d mention for those who don’t know already 😳 )

    You download the demo of EnergyXT (I still use version 1) and inside Podium you just load the vst-version of EnergyXT into a Midi track. Now you have to setup your vst-folders in EnergyXT Demo (no need to buy it for that!) and then

    1 just load chordspace. It is automatically connected to the midi of the master in of the main window of XT.

    2 you load any synth you like and connect the midi out of the chordspace (= the left of the two squares below the chordspace thingie) with the midi in of your synth.

    3 You just connect the audio out of your synth with the master out of XT, and now by pressing those nice hectagons you get nice chords.

    Only drawback of this workaround is that you have to setup the 3 steps again as you restart, because XT allows saving of songs, but not re-loading in demo mode.
    I don’t own Phrazor, but a workaround would work there too I think??

    Chordspace is just nice. And playing it would be even nicer to have this possibility directly in Podium, as I know a few people who like streaming midi of one plug into another, and I think it is quite important.
