Hi!
 
Tried Presonus Studio One 3 recently. It had a function to bind chords to keys. Is there a plug that works in a similar fashion with Sonar?

regarding the Insert Piz Here MidiChords program --can't access the developers website to download it.  So can not vote until trying it out.

Hi, I think the "vote" is more for the principle of having some kind of chord tool as part of Sonar rather than one particular plug-in

Yeah, I'm not asking in that thread for the Insert Piz one, but a mightier more intuitive one. If it's a MFX it will be more intuitive to use that a VSTi, if it had a circle of fifths too, a way to add and remove notes (extensions and dropped, added bass in altered positions), and inverter, and voice opener. A means to play the sequence, and focus on one chord whilst play back occurs (say a simple 4 single notes movement (1 per bar) c,g,f,a triggering CmaJ7, GMaj9, FMaj6, Amin7, but as it plays I can click on the f and then play with the different voicing and chord option to find a better fit, all as playback occurs.
 
This would be mightier than The insert Piz version and really creative way to find richer sounding progressions

This - from my recents posts on the Steam Forums:
 
Free:
Mucoder Tonespace - good
Chordspace
Mid:
Cthulhu - looks good (solid arpeggiator too)
7Aliens W2 Harmonizer
Pricier:
Synleor Harmony Improvisator
Cognitone Harmony Navigator 2 (no VSTs) / Synfire
 
Some other interesting (and free) chord/key/MIDI tools at CodeFN42.
Cales gets a mention in May 2015 Computer Music mag too (which reminded me of seeing it before).
From the CodeFN42 site:

Cales is a VST plugin that allows you to map your keyboard’s keys to a musical scale. This will ensure that you will always stay in key, and never hit a wrong note. When "easy mode" is enabled, you can play any scale using only the white keys with "C" always being the tonic (or "root" note). More than 20 scales are included, and you can add your own custom scales.
Cales can also work as an educational tool. You can use Cales to better understand the various musical scales, as well as to learn those scales by following the visual guides on the plugin's virtual keyboard display.

There even an FAQ page that shows you the Sonar MIDI routing setup (if that has you in a muddle).
... and one-finger note to chord tools Chordit and the more advanced Chordz.
