About

Inspire Chords is the free chord writer from Inspire. Pick one of 40 genres and a mood, and it writes chord progressions for a whole song of sections, in your key, with the chord rhythms each genre is known for.

Each section can play its chords one of eight ways: steady, lifted, contrast, sparse, long minimal holds, a build that climbs bar by bar, high offbeat stabs, or a 3-3-2 rhythm in an open voicing. The PROGRESSION grid shows every chord with its name and numeral, so you see why it works.

Hear it on the built-in piano, then drag the chords into your DAW as MIDI. Inspire Chords shares its chords through LINK, so Hooks can write melodies over them.
