Progressions: A Unique MIDI Plugin for Generating Chords
Progressions is a powerful AUv3 MIDI plugin developed by Limelight Software. Designed for iPhone, this plugin allows users to generate a unique set of chords that are unrelated to traditional scales, providing a fresh and unpredictable musical experience.
With Progressions, you can generate chord sequences based on a root note and mode (major or minor). The complexity and freedom levels can be adjusted to control the variety and tonal exploration of the chords. Starting at the Basic level, which includes common triads, you can progress to more complex chords such as 9ths, 11ths, and quartals.
In addition, Progressions offers a freedom level feature that allows you to drift away from tonality, creating never-ending randomized soundscapes. You can quickly randomize a toolbox of chords and play them in various modes like block chords, arpeggiated, or strummed. The chords can be synced to a host application, triggered remotely, or used to compose a song.
The plugin also includes features like open and closed chords with selectable voicings, an intelligent algorithm for chord alignment, chord padding, and rootless voicings. The Humanize section allows you to control chord and note timings, adding a natural and dynamic feel to your compositions. Additionally, Progressions offers an integrated arpeggiator and strumming pattern editor, allowing you to create complex rhythmic patterns.
Whether you're a composer, producer, or musician, Progressions is a versatile tool for exploring unique chord progressions and enhancing your musical creations. It can be loaded as a MIDI plugin or an Instrument, and even supports soundfonts for those programs that don't support MIDI plugins. With its comprehensive features and intuitive interface, Progressions is a must-have for any music enthusiast.
