The CHORDS Black Friday deal from W. A. Production takes 60% off this chord-generating MIDI plugin, bringing it to $19.96 until Nov 29, 2026.
CHORDS is a chord-creating MIDI effect for the moment you open a blank project and need a first idea. The maker says it was designed for EDM but works across a range of genres.
It can suggest a single 4-note chord or a full 8-chord riff, with a couple of clicks.
The plugin generates looped progressions of up to 8 chords. You get control over chord shape, inversions, velocity and more.
Each of the up to 8 segments holds a different chord type, and you choose between one and four notes per chord. Playback syncs to your host BPM, so it stays locked in time. Segments can be added or removed, and most parameters are set independently for each one.
Global controls adjust inversions, length, speed and root key for the entire playback, so you can reshape a whole riff on the fly.
Click a segment to go deeper. There you can change chord shapes, including major and minor variations, plus individual inversions and velocity.
Inversions run from -6 to +6 per segment. Push the lowest notes up an octave or the highest down an octave to turn a voicing inside out.
The 18 buttons in the centre of the interface pick Tonic, Subdominant or Dominant chord shapes. They cover simple triads through to more complex voicings, and the plugin works out the notes for something like a G7sus4 or a Bm7b5.
CHORDS sits on a MIDI track or instrument track in your DAW, fed through MIDI In. For the routing setup, follow the manual of your DAW.
When you like what you hear, drag the MIDI from the plugin straight into your project. From there you can chop it up, transpose it and edit it as you like.
The factory presets are progressions labelled in detail. The maker presents these as short motifs that can be built out into complete tracks. The AAX format needs Pro Tools 11 or higher.
Maschine 2 and Reason are incompatible, because neither offers MIDI routing for it. If you are on Apple Silicon, the maker points to a compatibility page for your system.
