What kind of music do you make, just curious ?

 

See first post ;)

 

Captain Chords is an absolute no go because of that internet connection. Not only for privacy reasons but also wtf happens when your internet is down for a few days, you move or are on the go? Oh nice you can still use it but are not able to create a new progession (with a tool that is exactly designed for that!)

I think Scaler is quite nice tbh and worth a try.

 

Shit, I thought you were joking but I just looked at their website and it's real. Music is doomed.

 

I mean't sound example
Interesting topic. I also tried some of them but I still find it easier to just play the chords I like.

 

Learn what major and minor chords are you are set for trance and synthpop...
Like really... just draw the notes one after another in your DAW.
These plugins overcomplicate the music production.

 

What DAW are you using? Cubase built in chord track + chord assistant function might suit you.

 

Sundog Studio by Feel Your Sound and/or wait for Rapid Composer v4.
Captain Chords is cool, too.

 

Funny enough i got myself to re-skin RC as far as it allows for the last two days... I got some pretty descent results (in my opinion)

Here are the screen shots:

[Eb] Light MOD:


I will upload the files and the font if anyone is interested

 

I still like ChordPulse, as it makes you think about what you are doing.

Chord Composer by Intuitive Audio is pretty good too. Has some great Strumming and Humanisation functionality. Depends on what you're looking for though...

Thought i could share with you the answer from the captain chords dev guys

Hello

I read your feedback about having a version of Captain that doesn't require internet connection and I really appreciate that you took the time to contact us. I realize that having a version that doesn't require an Internet connection would be cool. The reason why we didn't develop it that way is because our development costs would be 3x higher - we'd need to build a separate version for Windows, another one for Mac OS X and another one for iOS. By making it web-based, we can share a huge amount of code between platforms and cut down the development time. It also makes it much easier to fix bugs and add new features (like we just did by adding Captain Chords 2.0, Deep for Windows and so on).

It just makes sense to keep costs low because Captain was a long shot and we had no idea if it was going to be successful. Thankfully, it is

We have been in business for over a decade and plan to be for many more!

I'll definitely keep the offline functionality in mind, but in the meanwhile we'll just continue to improve the core functions. We have a lot of cool ideas on what to do next. Thanks again for your feedback, it is appreciated.

Best,

Andy - Mixed In Key

 

I also watching this Reason 4 video (or the channel of pivotao), if I miss some feature

then I able to calm down

 

hm it is web based? If so they could easily make a standalone version by using electron.

 

I'm gonna throw Toontrack EZkeys in the mix. It feels pretty noob but its really powerful. You can apply other midi files playing styles to your chord progressions. It has drag and drop in and out staying in key etc. I also like the humanization algo it has.
