What the chord progression generator does

It builds chord progressions from music-theory rules — picking diatonic chords, common cadences, and tasteful borrowed chords — then plays them back so you can hear how they move before you commit. Choose a key, a mood, and a length, and get a progression you can actually use.

How musicians use it

Songwriters use it to break writer's block, producers use it to sketch a section fast, and students use it to connect Roman-numeral theory to real sound. Pair it with ear training in Coco so you can not only generate a progression, but recognize what makes it work.
