Made by a producer
You know the feeling you want. It finds the chords.
Every chord name, Roman numeral and voicing is spelled correctly, so it also works as a quiet theory teacher while you write.
Every pad fits your key
Choose a key and scale, from Major and minor to the church modes and Hicaz. Pads are grouped from simple to adventurous, so you always know how far you’re stepping out.
- Basic, Intermediate, Extended, Advanced, Cinematic and Borrowed chords
- Close, Open, Drop 2, Drop 3, Spread and Rich voicings
- Voice leading moves each chord to the nearest notes of the next
- Strum, humanize and velocity so it sounds played
138 progressions that follow your key
Written in Roman numerals, so Pop Axis, the Andalusian cadence or a jazz ii–V–I land in whatever key you’ve set.
- 12 genres, from House/EDM and Techno to Turkish/Middle Eastern
- Reharmonize with secondary dominants, tritone subs and modal interchange
- Next-chord suggestions rated Strong, Smooth or Surprising
Start from a mood
One click sets the chords, sound, rhythm, voicing and tempo. Star your favourites and save your own.
Hear it against a beat before you commit
Chords that sound great alone can still fall flat in a track. Open the drum sequencer and find out in seconds.
- 12 styles write a groove for you, fills included
- Drop your own samples on any track, up to 8 tracks
- SC button: the chords duck on every hit for that pumping house feel
- Drag the drums out as MIDI too
Play it through your own synths
Load any VST3 or AU instrument you own, Serum, Diva, Pigments, and POTENS:Chord plays it directly. The instrument and its settings are saved with your project.
- Scanning runs in a separate helper, so a broken plugin can’t crash your DAW
- Chords also go out as MIDI to any other track
