Alternatives for chords sequencing

[xoxos]

So if you know about something interesting as a vst, max/reaktor or standalone midi app, please share.

chris kerry has chord modules for synthedit with assignable midi note triggers, strum/randomisation timing.

i think you can do what you want with this small program. it was designed for buzz but you can save as midi files and import them in your sequencer.

i used it alot for buzz tracker and a little bit when i converted to Live a couple of years ago. i know, making substantial chord progressions can be a real pain in the ass when you do not know how to play keyboard/piano. it just take some time, etc.. good luck

looks nice. Thanks.

Think global, play modal.

You can reduce extended chord structure to 1-3-5 or 1-3-7 so long as those elements are maintained you can get rather liberal with the extentions even if they don't fit precisely to the original key you started with.

It's not about cementing a song to a key structure. Dissonance is created not by flowing within a harmonic or key structure but creating a resistance force that needs to be reckoned.

Play a simple I-IV-V chord progression
Then play a simple I arppegio over all three chords.
I/I connosance = sounds the same
I/IV slight harmonic tension.
I/V greater harmonic tension.

Don't be afraid to paint outside the lines.

good tips .
