Chord Progression Generator
Pick a key, scale and mood, get four fresh chord progressions instantly. Play them with real piano samples, export MIDI instantly and drop the downloaded file into your DAW. Always free.
How the chord generator works
Choose a key (e.g. C, F#, A), a scale (major, minor, Dorian, and more) and a mood (happy, sad, dark, uplifting, dreamy, epic). The generator picks 4-chord progressions from a curated library of patterns proven to work in pop, hip-hop, lo-fi, cinematic and electronic music, all built from the diatonic chords of your chosen scale.
Hit Play to hear it with real CC0 piano samples, or grab the MIDI: click MIDI to download it, then drag the saved file from your computer into any DAW (FL Studio, Ableton, Logic, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, Cubase, etc.). Tempo is baked into the file using your current BPM setting.
The export is intentionally simple, block triads with no fancy voicings. Perfect for a starting point. For richer chord generation (extended voicings, inversions, voice-leading, swing patterns), check out our plugins on the store.
