    years ago, i remember downloading a plugin that allowed you to set up a series of chords in your daw, and then this plugin would read those chords and allow you to play any white keys on your keyboard and they would sound good with the chords.

    did i just dream this up, or does anyone else recall what the name of this software is/was?

    sorry, I know what you mean, FL Studio has a feature like that, also some midi keyboards and a bunch of plugins.

    Scaler is on the trend now

    Scales and Chords maybe? It’s an included midi effect in Reason and is available as a midi effect from the rack plugin for other plugin hosts

    Agree, It's proven million times...
    just one example:
    The Beatles Can't Buy Me Love
    https://musescore.com/official_scores/scores/6952057

    See the bar #7: above the staff chord C7, while in the staff you see Eь (last note)...
    hey, but this is wrong! There should be E, or the chord should be Cm7 according to the music theory...
    but nobody cares, because it sounds great!
