ChordFlow

ChordFlow is a songwriting sketchpad that will help you create amazing chord progressions and melodies for your songs fast and easily. HOW TO USE IT? 1. Create a chord progression. 2. Draw an arpeggio – the rhythmic and voice pattern for your chords. 3. Compose a melody. 4. Build a complete song adding more section. 5. Save your song, share or export to your favourite DAW as a MIDI file. CHORD PROGRESSION - Create chord progression of any length using intuitive chord selector providing a huge choice of chords. - Move chords around within chord progression using drag and drop gestures. - Add new chords at the end of the progression or in the middle. - Make quantized jumps between chords while playing. ARPEGGIO - Specify the length and rate of the arpeggio grid. Length defines the number of steps in the sequence and rate define the speed at which the sequence is played. - Add up to 4 tracks to your arpeggio grid. Each track has it’s color, octave and number of parallel voices. To edit a track you select it with the track selection button, and then choose the required tool. - Draw complex curves spanning several rows and columns of the arpeggio grid with just one move with Dots tool - Draw long horizontal lines with Line tool - Move entire track along the grid using the move tool - Clear a region of the selected track with the eraser tool - Remove the selected track entirely using the trash button - Use undo/redo buttons to go back and forth in the edits history. - Set Loop region to repeatedly play only the selected section of your arpeggio. MELODY - Create up to 4 melody tracks. - Melodies are edited in their own grid, which also has length and rate params as the arpeggio grid. - Select the root note and the scale for the melody grid. You can also show and hide non-scale notes using the “Chromatic” switch. - Melody grid features the same collection of drawing tool as the arpeggio grid does. - While drawing your melody you will see which chords correspond to the specific steps and also which notes of the grid match the notes of the chords. - You can also set a loop region as in the arpeggio grid view. - Undo/Redo aslo works the same way as in arpeggio grid. SONG STRUCTURE - A song can contain unlimited number of sections - Each section has its own chord progression, arpeggio and melody parts - Add, remove, reorder, rename and clone sections - Make quantized or immediate jumps between sections while playing. - Set a song loop mode. Loop one section. Loop entire song. Or play whole song once.
