Produce RNB has released Chord Engine Genesis for Kontakt. It is designed to allow producers and songwriters to play chords with just one key but with more realism and musicality. It includes Genesis' 6GB internal sound library, the on-board Arpeggiator, and a selection of chord progression presets.
Genesis allows the user to program up to 12 different chords and gives them control over every note in each chord. Create blues notes and unique strums for each chord. Play each chord simply by pressing the corresponding key on a MIDI keyboard. A user can play melodies with their right hand while playing one-note chords with their left hand or use the on-board arpeggiator to arp the chords to create interesting melodies. The Chord Engine Genesis comes with many chord progression presets to get a user going in the right direction.
Chord Engine Genesis allows producers to Drag and Drop the MIDI chords onto any VST of choice. The on-board "Record-to-MIDI" function allows a user to record and turn anything they play in Genesis into MIDI whether it be an arpeggio sequence, chords or single notes.
