"single note chord" does not make sense. Explain, please?

Hello, This is Abhishek from Hamee. Thank you for inquiry. This otamatone has a touch bar. You can make the sounds by touching on this bar. It has three different phases: High, Middle and Low. You can make the desired sound by sliding your fingers on this touchpad. Have a nice day.

What Apps does it work with

it comes with its own app. you will be able to download it using the two dimensional barcode provided

Can the apps for the otamatone techno version be downloaded on the us ios app store or are they strictly in the japanese app store?

Dear,Thanks for your inquiry.The apps for otamatone techno is available for worldwide app stores, it should be available on US IOS app store:)e.g. the app Mini GuitarAnd we have sold Techno to US and never received reports from buyers that they failed to download the apps for Techno.Please purchase with confidence:)Best regards

I see that it can take a 5v ac adapter. does it come with one? if not, is there a recommended adapter for this?

According to a combination of the text description of this product and from the stock photos, it indicates that this does NOT include a power adapter. You could easily buy a third party AC to DC adapter for fairly cheap. The output specs of the adapter are 5v DC, 500mA (or 0.5A) and the center pin is positive; outer sleeve is negative.

My grandchild and his mates thought it was really fun

This musical instruments are awesome! We got the techno so we can plug it into a smart phone or tablet and use the sounds that they let us download and it sounds just like a flute or an electric guitar, and all the other instruments that come with!!! Great effects as well. People love it and want to check it out and play it! Careful because some people are a little rough if you get my meaning!!! This is not a cheap toy it is a very well designed and mad. Musical instrument!! Worth every penny! Be aware that you can do “simple” stuff out of the box, but there is quite a learning curve to get advanced!
