Inversions & Voicings
Reshape chords in real time with inversions and voicings.
Play the shapes you already know
Keep playing familiar chord shapes while Chord Chameleon moves them into new inversions and voicings.
Preselect the next change
Choose a new inversion or voicing while the current chord is still held. The change takes effect on the next struck chord.
Keep the bass and melody intact
Chord transformations stay focused on the chord, leaving bass and melody notes outside it where you played them.
