Chord Player: Backing Tracks

Chord Player is a music making app that turns your chord progressions into backing tracks. Write the chords, pick one of 545 rhythms, and a full band of drums, bass, piano, guitar and synth plays your song, like an arranger keyboard in your pocket. No account needed, and it works offline except for the song catalogue. Made for songwriters sketching ideas, musicians who want jam tracks to practice over, worship teams building backing tracks, producers who want a chord progression generator and MIDI for their DAW, and students hearing how harmony works. BUILD A SONG, SECTION BY SECTION • Intro, verse, chorus, ending: every section holds its own chords, repeats and loop • 39 chord types, slash bass notes (C/E) and half-beat chords • Piano and guitar diagrams for every chord • Drag chords to reorder them, or select several at once • Change the key of the whole song, or move it up and down by semitones 545 RHYTHMS, LIKE A KEYBOARD • 545 rhythms in one list, searchable and by genre: from Reggaeton, Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Bolero and Norteño to Bossa Nova, Afrobeat, Trap, Modern Worship, Funk and Jazz • Intro, variation A, variation B and an ending: nearly every rhythm comes with them, you can write your own for any, and each section picks its part • A Fill button to throw in a drum fill whenever you like, and fills on the way from one part to the next • A twelve-piece drum kit plus twelve hand-percussion rows (congas, bongos, timbales, claves, güiro…), with 16 kits: acoustic, electronic, 808/909, jazz, brushes and orchestra • Play in 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 or 5/4, straight, with a light swing or a shuffle • Star your favourite rhythms, sounds and songs • Keeps playing with the screen off, with controls on the lock screen MAKE THE GROOVE YOURS • Edit drums, bass, piano, guitar and synth on a step grid, bar by bar, with the fill on its own • A pattern strip to try things by ear: your own, the style's variations and ready-made figures • Each part sounds its own way: the chorus can bring in strings while the verse keeps the piano • Edit a part once and it changes in every section that plays it • A keyboard shows each instrument's range, and the drums can be played with your fingers • 68 recommended sounds and all 261 of the full sound bank, by family: pianos, Rhodes, organs, guitars, basses, pads, strings, brass and more.
