ChordSpace Playa v1.0 released

ChordSpace (aka nuffink) has released ChordSpace Playa, an innovative new release which, building upon the success of the original ChordSpace, distills harmonic theory into a MIDI plug-in that manages to be both hugely powerful and deceptively easy to use. Playa puts complex chords at your fingertips and dynamically scale-locks your MIDI keyboard to those chords so that you are always playing the correct scale over them. Just like an accomplished pianist.

Even if you are an accomplished pianist, Playa can lead you to new and unexpected chord progressions.

Key features include:

• A huge range of chords at your fingertips.
• The right chords for the key. Playa knows harmonic theory so all the chords are relevant to the key.
• The ability to split your MIDI keyboard into Chord and Melody sections with the melody section dynamically locked to the correct scale for the chord of the moment.
• Advanced Strum and Arpeggiator articulations.
• Alternate modes for the chords.

ChordSpace Playa costs £35 and is available as a VSTi MIDI plug-in for Windows. ChordSpace Playa requires a MIDI keyboard. A fully functional demo version is available.
