ChordCraft — Chord Progression Generator (Looking for Feedback)

[TuringBeyond]

Hey everyone

I've been building ChordCraft, a browser-based chord progression generator.

What it does:

• Generates chord progressions with proper voice leading and humanized timing
• Multiple genre profiles: lo-fi, ambient, jazz, rock, cinematic, R&B, electronic
• Real instrument samples (piano, electric piano, pads, bass, drums)
• Built-in FX chain and WAV export
• Each generation is unique — varies voicings, rhythm, dynamics

What makes it different:
The focus is on performance, not just notes. Beat hierarchy, phrase arcs, timing drift, velocity dynamics — the kind of subtle stuff that makes a progression feel played rather than programmed.

Where we're at:
Early stage, actively developing. Looking for honest feedback on what works, what doesn't, what genres/features you'd want to see.

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who's used other chord generation tools. What would make this actually useful?

Where is the actual state ?

I think there are not many chord progression generation tools I have NOT tried over the last decade but sound examples are no way to get any feedback (at least for me).

I dont mind alpha state, bugs whatever but SOMETHING to try.....

Here you go. Keep in mind only a few of the genres have actually been refined though, happy to hear any feedback though!

THIS is something to try

Very first impressions (I tried some of the ambient stuff):

- it looks beautiful, very clear and structured

- I like that you have text AND midi info to save, helps for song construction later on

- wave does not really makes sense for me personally as you can play the result and with 8 bars I would use it anyway in my daw as the initial process for a song (but maybe thats only me and today someone might use the wave directly)

- the dreamy and mysterious versions of the ambient sounds different, you can hear the intention of the "subtle" stuff you mentioned

Here I would like of course if possible some influence on that "subtle" stuff apart/onside the mood. Not to detailed, I think two or three "macros" to have further personal influence would do.

Thanks so much for taking the time to try it out and share your thoughts — really appreciate it, especially from someone who's been through so many chord tools.

Great points about the voicing controls and key changes. Those are definitely on the roadmap. We're still early days so feedback like this is gold.
