AI Chord Progression Generator
Veena Studio's AI Chord Progression Generator is a browser-based harmony tool that creates chord sequences — as editable MIDI — matched to the genre, mood, and key you describe. Unlike chord chart websites that list static progressions, Veena generates playable, editable chords directly on your DAW timeline so you can immediately build a song on top of them. It is free to start, runs in any web browser, and requires no downloads or music theory background.
How it works
Describe the harmonic feel
Type a prompt like "dark minor progression for a cinematic intro" or "jazzy ii-V-I turnaround." You can also just say "sad" or "uplifting" and let the AI pick the chords.
Preview chord options
The AI generates several progressions. Each one appears as a MIDI region on the timeline. Click play to hear how they sound with the instrument assigned to that track.
Customize voicings and rhythm
Open the MIDI editor to adjust chord voicings, inversions, and strumming patterns. Ask the AI to add passing chords, change one chord, or reharmonize a section.
Layer melody and bass
With your progression set, use the AI Melody Generator or AI Bass Generator to add parts that fit the harmony. The CoProducer stays aware of the chords when generating new layers.
How AI Chord Progression Generator compares
Online chord progression generators show you chord names on a page. You still have to figure out voicings, enter them into a DAW, and assign an instrument. Veena skips all of that — the progression arrives as playable MIDI on your timeline, voiced and rhythmically patterned, ready to serve as the harmonic backbone of a track. And because the AI CoProducer is aware of those chords when you generate other parts, every new layer — melody, bass, pads — fits the harmony without manual key-matching.
Frequently asked questions
Can the AI generate chord progressions in any key?+
Yes. You can specify a key in your prompt, or the AI will detect the key from existing tracks in your session. It supports all major and minor keys, as well as modes like Dorian, Mixolydian, and more.
Does it only generate basic triads?+
No. The AI can generate seventh chords, extended chords, suspended chords, add9 chords, and other complex voicings. Specify "jazzy" or "complex harmony" in your prompt to get richer voicings.
Can I change just one chord in a progression?+
Yes. You can select any chord in the MIDI editor and modify it manually, or ask the AI to suggest an alternative for that specific position while keeping the rest of the progression intact.
Does the chord generator work with the melody generator?+
Yes. The AI CoProducer is context-aware. Once you have a chord progression on your timeline, the Melody Generator uses it as a reference to create melodic lines that harmonically fit.
