Software That Generates Chords from User's Melody?

[tommyzai]

In 2024/2025, is there such software? In my case, I generate melodies in my noodle that I can translate into notes via Melodyne, etc., but then struggle to harmonize them with chords -> to chord progressions. I realize Melodyne takes a stab at this, but it's not working out.

For Studio One (if this is your DAW - idk) something like this?

Best I've found is Playskool Kiddy Keys-




Many a composer has figured it out with this MIDI monstrosity>>>

Studio One is no longer my DAW, but this looks like a powerful add-on.

I might just buy a few of them and stack them up like a Star Trek chess set.

The Captain plugins maybe?

Mario Nieto (developer of Harmony Bloom) is planning to release a new plug-in called “Chord Generator” on 9th December.

Here’s how he described it in another KVR thread “Building on my original concept of Random Chords Generator, I’m developing a VST/AU plugin that generates chord variations every time it receives a note.” No other details at this point, but he has been using it in the live streams he does on YouTube.

Perhaps keep an eye out for it, and see if it’s what you’re looking for?

It would be a bit of a workaround but FL Studio relatively new Chord Generator PR tool is able to create chords matching to existing notes...
This works of course in the demo too but I guess there you cannot save the notes as Midi but at least you would know which notes to use ... I mean recreating some triads manually if you know which ones isn´t that hard.

Use your brain. If you are playing a melody generally you have a key.
Seven chords in the key. Six are pretty easy and should fit over your melody.

Discover the joy of chord progressions by trying them out against your melody.
Start with common ones. Explore less common ones. With less common ones that reach out of the diatonic structure be prepared to alter the melody to accommodate the harmony. Sometimes it's just a matter of moving one or two notes to adjacent one.

This is a semi complicated progression that has been known to work against different melodies.
