Free Chord Progression Generator
Progressions to start from
Listen to completed arrangements for inspiration, then explore a new harmony with the generator above.
Choose key and mode, and the progression follows
A progression chosen by key and mode
Set the harmonic ground first and the sequence is written to it - the reliable way out of the four chords you reach for by default.
Hear the instrument before exporting
Switch between piano and nylon-string guitar without changing the chord notes. The selected MIDI program travels with the downloaded file.
Check a progression against your tune
Listen to the generated chords while trying your existing melody, then edit the MIDI notes to resolve any clashes.
How Free Chord Progression Generator works
Build a progression by key and mode in three steps
Pick key and mode
Choose the key you are writing in and whether the progression should sit major or minor.
Generate the progression
A sequence of chords is written out with its timing, ready to be played or edited.
Build the song around it
Use it as the verse, the chorus, or the loop the rest of the arrangement answers.
A sequence written to your key
Each run returns one progression, written in the key and mode you set.
The tempo choices for the preview and the MIDI, with each chord lasting a beat, two beats, a bar or two bars; one bar at 120 BPM is two seconds.
Major and minor - to choose between before anything is generated.
The MIDI carries the piano or guitar selection, which can be changed in an editor.
