major sketch pad

major sketch pad free chorder | step-sequencer by af Kreativt Darhus

major sketch pad is a free chorder and step sequencer VST plugin developed by af Kreativt Darhus. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

major sketch pad is ideal for musicians with writer’s block or knob twiddlers who easily get distracted by fine tuning soundscapes and ending up not getting any music done. No, this is not some pseudo-random-crap, you are in control of your music all the time when using the sketch pad. This is an arrangement utility rather than a music production tool.

major sketch pad is basically a step-sequencer combined with a chorder. Each time it gets triggered by a MIDI note the step-sequencer steps forward and each step can contain a new, different chord. The chords aren’t locked to a predefined pitch. This means that you can try out chord combinations and see how your melodies will sound with different chords applied to them, or just jam away.

The main idea behind the sketch pad is to make it easier for people who are having a hard time coming up with songs to at least get a “rough” arrangement sketch that they can continue to work with. It is, after all, often the beginning of a song that is the hard part to come up with.

iChorder

iChorder free chorder | studio-tool by JoBroMedia

iChorder is a free chorder and studio tools plugin developed by JoBroMedia. Compatible OS(s): Android.

So you spend days upon days in the studio, writing song after song. However the more you write the harder your brain has to bring out new ideas. Make no mistake, this will happen sooner or later. And when that happens, and you’re on a tight deadline, what do you do? Writing music like nothing happens might get the juices flowing a bit more, but what you need is more inspiration. Open your ears and eyes to other genres around the world. Think outside the box for a change.

iChorder is the tool to let you do this. It gives you 5 tools at your disposal to open your minds to new influences:

* Song ideas: This picks genres at random, giving you an idea on your next song, and it lets you search on youtube, soundcloud or google for the different genres so you can hear them out.

* 5th circle: This tool gives you access to an easily overview of the circle of 5ths. It showcases the prime and alternative scale, and also gives you the prime tone, subdominant and dominant for each scale.

* Timeline: This tool helps you create a visual list of your song. What part goes where. Length and other important stuff.

* Rhythms: This tool lets you generate a 4 bar long rhythm. It can be done randomly, and in a set of different complexities from simple to wild, and the rhythm can also be altered should the need ever arise.

iChorder’s task is not to write music for you, that is your own responsibility. This is just a tool to help you out with new ideas and inflictions on music. In short: iChorder is writer’s block’s worst enemy.
