Chordulator (Music Application)
Chordulator is a PC program designed to help musicians with their chord sequences.
It came from some work I was doing with the playback of musical chords when the strings in standard chord notation was typed into a command line. E.g. you'd type Fm7 and the system would play back a F minor seventh chord. I expanded this into a little gui application where you can choose the chord root (A, B, C), whether it's major, minor, or suspended, and a bunch of other options, then you can play back that chord, see it laid out on a piano keyboard. You can also use a very basic sequencer to string together sequences of chords to start to get ideas for songs.
The final trick it does is to attempt to give guidance as to which chords might work after your currently selected chord.
This feature was based on a chord progression map by steve mugglin, which gives you a set of chords that 'sound good' after each particular chord.
You can download the program and try it out yourself. The program requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or above, available here.
