Find a chord progression to start from

The chord progression generator writes a progression from a key, a mode and a style, lets you hear it with a keyboard or plucked sound, and exports it as MIDI for your DAW.

Your progression

C · E · G

G · B · D

A · C · E

F · A · C

Free, local and instant. No sign-in or credits. Style-based templates are starting points, not AI-generated songs.

Parameter / option

Parameter / option
Parameter / option	What it changes
Key and mode	The tonal centre of the progression and whether it is major or minor.
Style	The musical idiom that shapes which chords are chosen and how they move.
Instrument	Keys or pluck, for how the preview sounds while you listen.
Tempo	How fast the preview plays; the generated chords do not depend on it.
Generate and loop	Produces a new progression in the chosen key and style, and loops the preview while you listen.
Export MIDI	Writes a MIDI file in the browser so the progression can be opened in your own project.
