What CHORDS PRO + NOTES does
The plugin is placed in front of an instrument in the track, and its output is the MIDI that drives the sound, so the chords and patterns come from the plugin rather than from the audio. Each chord slot can hold up to four notes played together, and smart algorithms generate looped options of up to 8 chords with full control over each chord. MIDI can be dragged straight from the project once a sequence is ready.
Chords Pro + Notes is a successor to the original Chords plugin, and the developer added a note-pattern editor embedded into the chord playback framework. Along preset sequences there are copy and paste controls and repeat functions for programming, and a preview mode plays the result inside the plugin.
Key features
- Chord and arpeggio MIDI effect. The plugin works as a professional chord and arpeggio MIDI effect that connects to any DAW the developer lists, placed ahead of a MIDI-triggered sound source.
- Global chord controls. Global controls adjust chord inversions, length, speed and root key, and per-segment control gives more granular command of the chord shapes inside each segment.
- A/B toggle and copy paste. An A/B toggle lets a favorite sequence be locked in while other versions are tried, and copy and paste controls move segments between positions in a progression.
- Preview and factory presets. A preview mode plays the progression inside the plugin, and the factory presets supply ready chords and sequences to start from.
Compatibility
The plugin is listed as AAX only, for Windows (Windows 8 minimum) and macOS (64-bit, macOS 10.13 minimum), with native support for Apple Silicon. The developer names Pro Tools, Reason and Maschine as hosts.
Who it is for
The plugin suits producers who write chord progressions in Pro Tools, Reason or Maschine and want generated chord options and arpeggio patterns as MIDI.
