ReChord

ReChord is an integrated MIDI plugin system that allows your favourite DAW to work as an arranger, with chord detection, real-time auto-accompaniment, keyboard split, global octave, key transposition and much more.

Just write a MIDI pattern in your DAW, drag ReChord into your project, and your pattern becomes a style, just as in a regular arranger. Play or loop the pattern and jam along, by playing chords in real time on your MIDI keyboard, exactly how you would do on an arranger, and the pattern will be instantly transposed to match the chord you play. You can, of course, set a keyboard split and play chords with your left hand and a solo with your right hand, as you do on your hardware arranger.

If you are not a keyboard player, you can use ReChord's bank of 120 chord buttons that are entirely configurable, and play chords by pressing buttons, either on ReChord's interface or on an external MIDI controller. You can also manually write, or real-time record, the chord progression on a separate MIDI (chord) track, and the song will follow your chord changes.

ReChord also features many advanced functions that you will not find on hardware arrangers. It has a dynamic keyboard split that lets you play both chords and melody anywhere on the keyboard.

Unlike most hardware arrangers, ReChord is sensitive to chord inversions, which can be varied manually or automatically, so that your loop does not sound boring by repetition, but rather comes to life by voicing changes. There is also a special controller that lets you slide the chord inversions up or down, creating complex arpeggios as easily as turning the mod wheel.

ReChord also has an advanced voicing mechanism that lets you control in many details the voicing of the chords you play. You can customize the voicing parameters for each track, to always make a baseline sound good, a lead line, a pad accompaniment, etc.

You just wrote in your DAW four measures in D minor from your future song, and wonder how to continue? Just drag ReChord and hit Play. You could end up jamming for hours, and setting free those great musical ideas you were searching for.
