Chord Generator offers a rich chord library, allowing you to select from a wide variety of chord types to suit any genre or mood. With retrigger mode, each pad trigger generates fresh variations, while intuitive navigation ensures smooth exploration of creative possibilities.
Take full control of your harmonies with advanced voicing, strumming, and repetition features. Customize up to six voices, including a bass voice, with options to activate or deactivate components individually. Strum functionality introduces rhythmic depth by applying progressive or randomized delays between notes, creating dynamic and organic textures. The Repeater Option adds even more flexibility, enabling repeated notes at custom intervals for intricate rhythmic patterns. These tools, combined with inversion randomization, voice linking, and locking, offer unparalleled precision.
Expand your harmonic palette with scale and root customization. Choose from 57 scales, randomize the root note for unexpected combinations, and visualize your choices on a keyboard display. The bass voice provides depth and variation, with transposition and retriggering features to evolve your sound further.
Effortlessly capture your creativity with MIDI Capture and Export, allowing seamless recording of MIDI output. Drag and drop sequences directly into your DAW for a streamlined workflow, or use the plugin’s built-in tools for precise adjustments.
The customizable interface includes a color editor, preset management tools, and intuitive navigation. Strum and Repeater settings can sync with your DAW’s tempo or operate in freeform mode, giving you total control over timing and rhythm. Undo/redo functionality and a bypass mode ensure flexibility during production.
Designed for musicians, producers, and composers, Chord Generator integrates real-time MIDI mapping and visual feedback to inspire creativity. It’s more than just a plugin—it’s a comprehensive tool for crafting harmonies, rhythms, and textures, making it an essential part of any studio.
