Found this while looking for something else for you that I used years ago before getting my theory down. (Chordspace or something?)

I know my theory pretty well by now, but I'd be damned if this isn't the best thing since sliced bread.

Currently just playing around with it, seems to work fine in Sonar.

There's a demo you can download to check out.

Please provide some examples as to which CAL and how to run, etc. Sorry, I haven't touched upon CAL at all.

Hmmm... Creating chords with one click. That would be nice in many situations.


ah! but.. this you can do! :)

there are CAL-programs to create different chords from one note. And it's possible to create shortcuts to execute CALs :)



ok! :)
try this:

  • go into the PRV and draw a C-note.
  • select the note and choose process->run CAL... (Ctrl+F1)
  • in the window that pops up choose (for example) Minor Chord.cal and klick OK
  • you'll now see that a minor C chord has been created in the PRV

I don't know if you know how to create a shortcut, so.. Here we go:

You can create a shortcut for the Minor Chord.cal by going to preferences (advanced mode)

  • Go to "Keyboard Shortcuts"
  • In the search field write CAL and find the Minor Chord.cal in the list.
  • Press "locate key" and type the shortcut you want to use for this CAL (let's say Ctrl+E) 
  • Select Minor Chord.cal in the list and click "bind"
  • You now only have to select a not and press Ctrl+E to create a minor chord from a note

Thanks for the shortcut creation steps. Will keep it handy.

A big thank you to everyone . I will try these tips . So far I have been using FL studio ,saving a midi file and importing into Sonar . This is quite time consuming .

Another option for you is to try MidiChords.

You have to the one time setup of mapping the chords to keys. Then you can play those chords by just pressing one key on your controller. It does not come with any presets. I have started creating triads for each scale. I will share the presets but don't know when it's going to be finished.

In Band in a Box you have a chord box with all the variations and they play when you click them.

Good to see how a flat major 9 demented chord would sound in a certain part.
