I think all of us have some scales, and even some chords we like the most...
I heard there's one DAW that saves them (chords), but i'd like to know if there's any good VST for that task...

Edit: I know all the theory, so i'm not looking for a vst that helps me out with them... I just need to save those chords i work on and use the most, those complex ones with 7th, doublings, prefered inversions... Those we keep using and rewriting over na over again...

Thanks ;)

i think ableton has the ability to transpose on the fly so you can play everything with the finger-settings of c major if you wanted, if that is what you are asking

 

Or the transpose buttons on your midi/keyboard. Live performers secret weapon. How many steps to CM/Am or whatever key youre comfortable in.

Yeah man, I totally agree with you about the transposing trick, but it's also a composers secret weapon too. I've memorised all the chord variations and inversions in C/Am, and composing melodies is more simple since C (A) = Tonic and G (E) = Dominant are always in the same position. This was the leap that made music easy to understand on a structural level. I would love to be proficient in every key, but it takes years of constant practise. So yeah, if you want to make your life a lot easier, transposition is the way to go when starting out.

Or a complete nightmare when you forget to reset back. Made that mistake live ONCE and swore off the transpose button.

 

I'd blame the operator, not the machine

 

your supposed to have +/- written on the chart or set list oops

Or you could just learn the patterns involved with each chord and understand how inversions work and then your palette would be far less constricted.

 

And keep a tuning device handy!

You still have to learn all the C/Am variation and inversion patterns first, so transposing is a useful technique to get you up and running quickly. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be a keyboard maestro, but it takes time. Using transposition, I was suddenly able to compose in any key overnight.

 

This doesn't deliver chords but scales, and let you finds chords quite easy

It also lets switch you the tonic or the even the scale with the black key.

 

Vst cant help you so much.. the only Daw that is best for this is cubase...it has function that allows u to put that melody and the tool there can make a chord out of it..no mater if that melody is wav midi or What ever. .

 

In Synleor Harmony Improvisator you can save your mostly used chords, and there are quite a few of them to choose from.
