A powerful tool for songwriters, composers, and producers, Chord Pad allows easy creation of chord progressions and real-time playback into DAWs or hardware synthesizers.

What is Chord Pad?

Chord Pad is a versatile MIDI chord progression tool for songwriters, composers, and music producers. It provides an intuitive interface for quickly creating chord progressions, allowing you to choose from a selection of chord types and inversions.

Once you've created a progression, Chord Pad can play the chords into your DAW or external MIDI synth in real-time. You can adjust the tempo, rhythm, velocity, and other parameters to fit your project.

Key features include:

• Large library of chord types including maj7, min7, dim7, sus2, sus4, and more
• Multiple chord inversions to choose from
• Fully customizable pads, colors, and layouts
• Real-time playback of chord progressions
• Adjustable playback parameters like tempo, rhythm, velocity, etc.
• MIDI output to DAWs, VSTs, and hardware

If you frequently find yourself stuck coming up with new chord progressions, Chord Pad can help kickstart your creativity. It's great for experimentation and finding unexpected harmonic ideas quickly. The live playback makes it easy to audition chord progressions, allowing you to focus on composition rather than performance.
