MODALITHHarmony & Composition

No. Click chords that fit, follow the Guide or start from a ready progression without knowing any theory. If you want to learn, MODALITH shows what each chord does in the key, so the theory comes to you while you write.

More than 2,000 progressions in 21 styles, from pop, rock, jazz and classical to gospel, film, EDM, trap, lo-fi, K-pop and metal, plus the real chords of 1,045 famous songs: chart hits, rock classics and jazz standards. You see every chord on piano, guitar (6, 7 and 8 strings in 21 tunings), bass or a string section, choir or brass.

Yes. Load a WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3 or Ogg file, or let MODALITH listen to a track or your audio input. It finds the key, the tempo and the chords as a progression you can edit. Chords it is not sure of are marked, with its second choice one click away.

Drag the whole song onto your tracks (one track per lane) or a single lane, or export a MIDI file. In DAWs that route a plugin's MIDI to other tracks, each lane also plays out on its own MIDI channel. With Sync to host on, MODALITH follows your DAW's play, position and tempo.

Yes. Load MODALITH as an instrument to hear the lanes through the instruments you load inside it, or put MODALITH MIDI FX in a track's MIDI FX slot to drive that track's instrument. To get the parts onto their own tracks, drag them out as MIDI.

Yes. Load your own instrument and effect plugins on every lane, and choose one main Sound that plays everything you try out. Each plugin runs on its own: if one crashes, only its sound goes quiet and Restart brings it back.

The 2,000+ progressions and everything Generate writes are not: they are learned from openly licensed collections of chord changes and from public-domain music, and none repeats five or more chords in a row from any song in those collections. Songs is different on purpose: it shows the real chord changes of 1,045 famous songs as those collections give them, named by title and artist so you can find them, to learn from and build on.

Buy MODALITH once for a permanent licence, or use it during an active All-Access or Plugin Pass subscription. It is VST3, AU and a standalone app, not AAX, so it does not load in Pro Tools; with Pro Tools, write in the standalone app and bring the song over as a MIDI file. The new All-Access subscription provides access to all included products, downloads and updates only during the paid period. When the plan ends, subscription files are removed from your download orders and the included plugins and apps stop working. Separately purchased products and perpetual licences already earned through the previous All-Access Pass are preserved.

Yes. In Settings, choose MIDI out: "Chords + scale & root". Next to the chords, MODALITH then sends the root of the chord that is playing on MIDI channel 15 and the notes of the current scale on channel 16, so an LED fretboard, a lighting app or any visualizer that listens to MIDI can show the scale and the chord while you play. The channels can be changed, and the user guide lists the exact notes.
