Description

A long requested update of the Chord In Key device, which converts single notes into appropriate chords within a selected key. The notes of the chord can also be strummed like a guitar instead of all at once.

The device now includes all 7 modes, many more chord types, chord inversion and voicing options, as well as improved randomization of the stroke notes.

Chords in Key 2 is once again Free / Pay as you Like :)

Donations are welcome ;)

Update 2.1 - MIDI info other than notes will now pass through the device

Many thanks!

Hi, that sounds odd. I'm also using win10 and I've not had that happen. I can only do anything if I can reproduce the issue...

Looks alright, sounds fine on my win10.

Great device, but graphic issue on live 11.2.11 ... (1080P)

Hi, can you be more specific? I'm using live 11.2.11 with a 1080 display and it looks fine for me.

It's on minimac M1 os ventura last revision.
The "stroke" pots doesn't appear

After re-install that's ok...

I like this a bunch but I only wish it output the MIDI the app was creating rather than my input if that makes sense

You mean you want to block any other midi information coming through? Send me an email at [email protected] and I can do it easily

Hello, very nice device ! Would it be possible to add a chromatic scale or an option to disable the scale feature so that we could just add chord modifications without filtering the original chords ?

I think this is a great device but I believe when you made it not pass MIDI info... it breaks things like me trying to use a clip envelope to send Sustain pedal info etc. I have tested this and it does appear to block clip envelop MIDI from being transmitted... at least on the device I am using (Addictive Keys)

Hi, sorry I had no idea I forgot to wire up the midi info, thanks for letting me know. I will update iit now, and actually I should really update the scales to fit with Live's auto scale stuff at some point
