MIDIQ Black Friday pricing is 60% off, which puts this MIDI chord sequence generator plugin from W. A. Production at $23.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
It's built for the moment you sit down in the studio with no ideas. You use it to kickstart chord sequences, harmonies and bass lines, in the studio or on stage.
The maker says you don't need any music theory to get good results from it.
You define repeating chords with a simple pattern language. The layout looks like a slot machine, so everything is visual.
MIDIQ produces a fresh chord at a given spot whenever a symbol in the pattern is inserted or edited. It also builds a set of eight alternative chord sequences for the current pattern.
Click a chord box and you switch to a new variant.
When you hit Play, the sequence loops. Yellow and blue boxes mark the loop position on the pattern and chord symbols. A new variant starts on the next loop onset, and a yellow countdown bar shows how long that takes.
Click any chord to change its symbols by hand. That pattern element turns into a lock symbol, and the algorithms build a new matching progression around it. Hit unlock and the element returns to its previous state.
You can also play chords from your keyboard or an external MIDI keyboard. The duration and volume of what you play shape the rhythm and dynamics of the generated progression. A MIDI sequence recorded in your DAW can act as the trigger too.
The simplified piano roll shows the generated sequence, and you can drag chords from it into the host sequencer.
Preset data is saved inside your DAW sessions and can be exported for use in other sessions. Copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop and drag-to-host are all included, and copy-and-paste moves parameters from one instance to another.
MIDIQ comes as VST, VST3 and AU (a MIDI effect plugin). It runs in any DAW with MIDI routing support.
The maker lists it as tested OK on Ableton Live 10 and later, Bitwig Studio 2, Cubase 10, FL Studio 20 (VST, not VST3), Logic Pro X, Cockos Reaper and Studio One 4 to 5. It is not compatible with Pro Tools, Machine 2 or Reason, and it won't work on 32-bit systems.
If you're on Apple Silicon, the maker asks you to review the plugin's current compatibility status before you buy.
