CHORD PROGRESSION GENERATOR

MAESTRO

A chord progression generator that thinks like you do.

Ancient Greek thinkers were sure music could change how you feel. Plato thought certain modes were so powerful they should be restricted: some made people soft, others made them brave. Two thousand years later, those same mode names (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian) are still with us. Somewhere along the way, though, music theory turned into a list of rules, Roman numerals and the circle of fifths drawn on a whiteboard. Plenty of great producers never learned it. They learned by ear, by feel, by accident. And the chord tools that came along gave you random chords with no idea why they worked.

Start with a feeling, not a key. Pick from 47 feelings in five families (Bright, Wistful, Dark, Vast, Club), like Euphoric, Bittersweet, Ominous or Haunted. MAESTRO picks the scale, builds the chords and writes a progression that fits, and gives it an Italian tempo marking
Blend two feelings. Weight them from 0 to 100 and MAESTRO borrows chords from one to colour the other (Melancholy and Hopeful become Bittersweet)
Shape the progression. Set the energy (Still, Float, Steady, Drive, Hypno), slide between Familiar and Surprising, choose Resolves or Loops forever, and lift the final phrase. Draw a tension curve and the chords rise and resolve where you want them
Reroll what you don’t like, lock what you do. Reroll any bar, lock the ones you love, step through each bar’s history, and undo or redo the whole progression. Change inversion, spread (close, drop 2, wide) and rhythm per bar
It teaches you as you go. Every chord shows its name, its numeral, its tension, and why it works. Play along on your keyboard and MAESTRO waits until you get it right. Flip to the Score view and read your progression as real sheet music, and export it as MusicXML
Parts that grow from a motif. Add a melody, bass line or chord part built on a repeating motif that bends to the chords, with mute, solo and a level fader for chords, bass and part
Drag it into your DAW. Drop the full progression, the selected bars or just the bass roots as MIDI clips onto any instrument you own, or export the audio. MIDI out too
Sounds to hear it with. A sampled Steinway grand piano (default), drawbar organ, tine and reed electric pianos, marimba, vibes, strings, pads, supersaw and more, with four macros: Character, Bright, Space and Release

GET MAESTRO

We think it should start where the music does. Enter MAESTRO: a chord progression generator that starts with a feeling. Pick a mood, blend two, draw a tension curve, reroll any bar, lock the ones you love, push the rhythm, and add a melody that grows from a motif. Then drag every part out as its own MIDI clip and put it on any instrument you own.

Best of all, it teaches you as you go. Every chord tells you what it is and why it works. Suddenly theory makes sense. Chords start to mean something. Writing gets fun again.

Plato would’ve banned it.
