[Artist Recommendation] tatsuo (everset)

For a guitarist like me who can't play the keyboard properly, being able to select a MIDI phrase and input chords to play is not only useful for composing/arranging, but also allows me to get inspired and expand on my ideas.

It's like a lifesaver, making me feel like I could really use it for simple phrases!

[Artist Recommendation] Treow (ELECTROCUTICA)

Phrases from a variety of genres are available, and instead of moving each note individually, you can rearrange them to your desired progression by simply specifying chords for each measure and beat. This makes it a convenient software for creating song flow, even for people who aren't familiar with musical notation. Additionally, the interface displays the pressed keys and chord names in large letters, making it visually easy to understand when searching for chords while playing the keyboard.

As a starting point for composing, you can paste in the included phrases and loop them while changing the chords to create a demo, or you can throw in your own MIDI files and it will analyze the chords, which is useful when you want to, for example, ""fit this phrase into the song I'm currently working on.""
