Chordz is a powerful VST plugin designed to simplify the process of playing complex chords by allowing you to trigger full chords using single notes. Each note on your MIDI keyboard or drum pad can be assigned to a separate chord, enabling you to perform intricate chord progressions effortlessly. Whether you prefer playing live or programming your chords directly in your DAW’s piano roll, Chordz offers flexibility by supporting chords with any number of notes, making it easy to create rich harmonic textures with minimal input.

This plugin offers advanced customization options for chord voicings, including the ability to spread notes across multiple octaves around the trigger note. This feature enables the creation of unique chord inversions and doubled notes both above and below the root, expanding your harmonic palette. Chordz also includes a chord suggestion feature that recommends diatonic chords based on your chosen scale and root note, simplifying the selection process. Additionally, an easy mode lets you play chords using only the white keys, with black keys reserved for variations, ensuring you stay in key while exploring different harmonic colors.

The keyboard can be divided into zones for chords and single notes, each independently transposable by octaves, which is ideal for playing chords and melodies simultaneously with different hands. Chordz also ensures harmony by keeping notes within the selected scale and offers features like velocity scaling, randomization, and start/end delays to emulate natural playing styles such as strumming or adding expressive timing variations. With over 40 scale and chord templates, a library of more than 50 chord types, and full customization through the GUI or text files, Chordz is a comprehensive tool for enhancing your chord-based music production. This freeware plugin is available for Windows 64-bit.
