Aw thank you all so much for the kind words and support, really love hearing that these tools help people make music, that's what it's all about! I have been starting to get the itch again to make another device... we'll see

Delta MIDI Computer is on my list for sure. Autolatch too.
I'm a bit torn on Chord Detector. I like it for sure and it will come in handy but Index Chord Dictionary does the same thing and then some, does it? Index is no Player device so you have to use a combinator to route MIDI into it, right? But you can select chords with it, route CV into an instrument and you can build up your chord progression that way. There is a bit of an overlap with Scales and Chords I reckon, but still, for me it is Index then.
You're absolutely right, Index and Chord Detector have a ton of overlap. Chord Detector is the spiritual successor in Player format, which has obvious usability benefits over Index's "instrument" device type.
Chord Detector does detect a good number more chords than Index (albeit mostly weirder ones) as well as the ability to detect some "alternative" chords when there are 2 valid matches, and just a generally better looking, more streamlined interface.
Index has the chord generation features (largely outmoded by Scales and Chords or Chord Sequencer), which Chord Detector does not attempt to do.
If you're happy with Index's usability, I don't see a huge reason to "upgrade" to Chord Detector. Hope this helps!
