A MIDI plugin for creating harmonies by ear and intuition
ChordAXE is a controller that lets you audition chord progressions in real-time, adjust voicings to suit different instruments, and capture human-like dynamics. By using it for chord-based composition and beat-making, you can express yourself beyond the constraints of fretboards, keyboards, or music theory.
Experience that magical moment when the perfect chord meets the perfect instrument.
Music theory knowledge is optional.
A creative workflow for songwriting and beat-making
