What it is

Roland Chord Director is a free companion app for Roland’s GO:KEYS 3 and GO:KEYS 5 keyboards. It supplies additional ready-made chord patterns that can be loaded into a connected keyboard with a touch. The touch interface also lets users change keys and edit chord patterns, or create new patterns from their own chord progressions. The app links to the keyboard through Bluetooth and is listed for iOS and Android through the App Store and Google Play. Roland describes it as a way to use chord patterns for favorite songs and new compositions with a full-band sound. A free Roland Account is required to access pre-made patterns. Roland says GO:KEYS 3 and GO:KEYS 5 added support in system program version 1.11. Product questions go to Roland’s Knowledge Base, with product support handled through BACKSTAGE. Google Play reports possible collection of personal information, app activity, and device or other IDs; it also reports encryption in transit and deletion requests.
