The free Chord Progression Generator creates a voiced MIDI sequence from a key, major or minor mode and a style pattern. Piano and guitar previews help you hear the result before editing it. ### What does the mode actually change? Which chords are available and how they resolve. The same root in major and minor produces two progressions with the same starting note and completely different feel. ### How long should a progression be? The preview and MIDI use one beat per chord at 120 BPM. Length follows the style pattern, with three to twelve chords. Extend note lengths or repeat sections in the editor when arranging a song. ### Can I get something less predictable? Try another style or generate another sequence. Some patterns include borrowed chords and secondary dominants; the MIDI editor lets you change any note or voicing afterwards. ### Why do my progressions sound the same? Many popular styles reuse a small set of harmonic functions. Change the key or mode, try a different style pattern, or revoice the exported notes to explore another sound. ### Can I ask for a specific mood? There is no separate mood field in this tool. Start with a style, listen to the progression and adjust individual notes in the editor to shape the feeling you want. ### Should the progression repeat? In most songs yes - repetition is what lets a melody sit on top and be remembered. Save the variation for the bridge. ### Can I use the Chord Progression Generator for commercial projects? Aimusicis does not currently issue a commercial-use license or certificate.
