Chordit: Your Personal Chord Arranger
In the world of music production and creativity, time is money, and inspiration is the most valuable resource. Sometimes, to quickly capture a musical idea or simplify the performance of complex chords, an effective tool is needed. Such a tool is Chordit – a VST plugin from CodeFN42 that turns your MIDI keyboard into a powerful chord generator.
Chordit allows you to trigger entire chords by pressing just one key. This plugin is ideal for both beginners and experienced musicians who want to optimize their workflow and expand their creative horizons.
How it works?
The principle of Chordit is ingeniously simple and at the same time extremely effective. The plugin allows you to trigger entire chords by pressing just one key on your MIDI keyboard. But that’s not all. It uses a unique approach, dividing the keyboard into two zones:
- Chord Switching Zone: A user-defined octave (e.g., the lowest keys) serves to select and switch between predefined chords. Each key in this octave can be bound to a specific chord, from simple major triads to complex seventh chords or even your own unique harmonies.
- Chord Playing Zone: The rest of the keyboard is used to directly play the selected chord. By pressing any key in this zone, you trigger the full chord that was selected in the switching zone. This allows you to easily play arpeggios, rhythmic patterns, or simply hold a chord without pressing multiple keys at once. Thus, you can play complex chord sequences with ease, using a minimum of physical effort.
This division of functionality makes Chordit incredibly intuitive to use. You will quickly get used to it, and it will become an integral part of your creative process.
Advantages of using Chordit:
Using the Chordit plugin opens up a number of significant advantages for musicians and producers:
- Speed and Efficiency: Instantly trigger complex chords and chord sequences, significantly speeding up the process of writing music, arranging, and improvising. Forget about the need to memorize and play complex chord shapes.
- Simplified Performance: Ideal for musicians who are not experienced pianists, guitarists who need quick access to keyboard chords, or for those who want to easily play chords with one hand while playing another instrument (e.g., singing or playing guitar).
- Creative Experiments: Discover new harmonic possibilities, easily switching through different chords, their inversions, and combinations. Experiment with sound without being distracted by the technical aspects of playing chords.
- Perfect for Live Performances: Quick and reliable chord switching allows you to focus on other aspects of the performance, ensuring a smooth and professional sound even during complex parts.
- Flexible Customization: The user can independently determine which chords to assign to each key in the switching zone, creating their own sets of chords for different songs, musical styles, or experimental harmonies. This ensures maximum adaptability of the plugin to your individual needs.
- Increased Productivity: By reducing the time spent searching for and playing chords, you can spend more time on arranging, mixing, and other important aspects of music creation.
Chordit is available in VST format and supports Windows operating systems (32-bit and 64-bit versions). This makes it compatible with most modern digital audio workstations (DAWs), such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, and many others.
