Chord progression generator

Start with a foundation. Generate chord progressions that set the mood — then build melodies, basslines and arps on top.

The harmonic backbone of your track

Chords set the emotional tone of a record before a single melody plays. Melodrift generates progressions in the key and scale you choose, giving you a harmonic backbone you can build the rest of the arrangement around.

Export the progression to MIDI and reuse it everywhere: feed it to a pad, an arp, or a pluck, and generate melodies that sit naturally on top.

Progressions made for electronic music

Rather than textbook jazz voicings, Melodrift leans toward the emotive, repetitive progressions that work in EDM and melodic techno — the kind that loop for eight bars and never get old on a big system.
