Chord progression generator

How the generator works
1. Hum your melody
Tap record and hum, sing or whistle four bars — no notation, no chord names, no music theory needed.
2. It finds the key
Your notes are analysed on your own device, and the generator works out the key, the tempo and the chords that fit.
3. Play the progression
Every chord in the progression comes with a playable fretboard shape, plus capo and transpose for your voice.
4. Keep it
Hear it back on piano, print a lead sheet, export MIDI, and save the progression to My Songs.
