what is tonespace?

• a chord generator and visualizer
• displays chords and scales on a grid, making it easy to understand their structure
• displays chords on a piano keyboard, making it easy to play them
• supports 39 chord types, 25 chord voicings/inversions, 21 scales, 18 keys, and 50 different grids
• accepts easy, single-note MIDI input for triggering or viewing chords
• can output chords over MIDI to your favorite synth
• acts either as a VST or Audio Unit plugin for your DAW, or as a standalone application

how do I use it?

• audition and play chords while you move the mouse around in a grid-like space - or use a traditional MIDI keyboard instead
• learn how musical scales and keys work, and how chords relate to these, using the simple octave-based spaces
• discover how chords map onto surprisingly simple geometric shapes in the more advanced spaces
• use chord-generation algorithms to fit chords to scales and keys automatically
• trigger chords from monophonic midi input and record the played chords using midi output

it’s free

• tonespace is free (as in beer)
• if you like it, and want to help, share it with your friends, and rate it at KVRAudio
