Can’t play a chord, or have trouble coming up with the next chord progression? This app can aid your song-writing by assisting you with all chord-related matters.

With Chordassist, you don’t have to worry about always repeating the same boring chord progressions or memorizing complicated chord theory anymore. Just pick a chord that fits the melody or mood of your song from a suggested list to create professional-sounding chord progressions.

Suggestions for the next chord are generated from the app’s massive built-in database, together with the probability of each chord. You can choose to create simple chord progressions, or try something more complicated and advanced.

The app also has a play mode in which you can play chords at the touch of a finger, and allows you to change the voicing freely and enter custom chords. It is the perfect all-round assistant for all your DTM and song-writing activities.
