This is a collaborative project to create a collection of all chords and useful chord progressions in all keys, as MIDI files, usable with your favorite DAW.
This collection is FREE and you can contribute to it using the issue tracker above. Please use the bug tracker if you find incorrect chords!
All the files are licensed under the MIT license, and you can use in any project freely.
- More details in my blog
- Quick Video demo with Ableton
Just download and unzip one of the release file. Then drag and drop the MIDI files from your DAW to your tracks.
The chords collection is organized using 3 levels of directories:
- 1st level: All 12 Major and Minor keys
- 2nd level:
- 1/ Triads
- 2/ 7ths and 9ths chords
- 3/ All other chords
- 4/ And progressions
- 3rd level: Major and Minor scales
The script uses chords2midi from Rich Jones, and Python Mingus.
