Any input or opinions on chord plugins?
There are cheaper options like Scaler, Scaler 2. Magic Chords & Pro, as well as Instachord. There are more expensive options such as Captain Chords, Hookpad, etc.
Of course, all of them have ups and downs be it functionality or price, to me only a few of them seem to stand out.
I like the simplicity and ease of Magic Chords Pro, I choose a progression, export to midi, then edit in the DAW. I also like the depth and intricacy of Hookpad as well as Chord Prism
Hookpad is smart but pricey, the depth of information provided almost leans into teaching, not just creating, which is great. It seems like a powerful tool for those with their own understanding of music theory.
Chord Prism used to be Autotheory, it does some pretty powerful stuff (lets you hit any key while keeping the melody in key by forcing hit notes to nearby notes to remain in key.)
The more i type, the more I think I'm talking myself into Chord Prism, but I'd like to see what anyone else has to say.
