ChordGen

What ChordGen is

ChordGen is a web-based chord progression generator for turning a written description of a mood, style, or genre into musical ideas. Each prompt produces three progressions, giving songwriters and other musicians different options to work with. You can reshape a result by replacing chords, changing their order, or inserting and removing chords. An on-screen piano keyboard displays each chord and lets you hear and play it. When a progression is ready, download it as a standard MIDI file for use in a digital audio workstation. The site names Ableton, FL Studio, and Logic as examples of DAWs for exported files. ChordGen is intended for songwriters, producers, instrumentalists, and music students. It runs on the web, and its maker says it requires no sign-up or account, including for MIDI exports. The free plan is listed as free and includes MIDI export; the maker describes use and downloads as having no limits. Support inquiries, bug reports, and feature requests can be sent by email, with a response within a few days promised for legitimate press, partnership, or licensing inquiries.

Who it suits

ChordGen suits songwriters, producers, instrumentalists, and music students looking for chord ideas from a mood, style, or genre prompt. It is a fit for people who want to revise progressions and export MIDI for a DAW without creating an account.
