Show IH: Songmine - Find and record chord progressions
Hi Indie Hackers!
Songmine is a tool I made to help me and my friend be more productive when making music. It runs in your browser at https://songmine.io
It basically does two things:
-
Show you a dashboard of chords for a certain key and mode.
-
Let's you play these chords by connecting to any DAW or synthesizer via Midi.
I made this overview video which walks you through the main functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K69342sjmfc
I found it helps us bring more variety into ours sessions, since it lets us easily try out new keys or modes which we are not yet comfortable with. Also, we play bass and guitar but not the piano, so having the chords play with one click or keystroke makes it very easy to get a basic synth layer done without resorting to the piano roll.
There is a simple algorithm which modifies the chords in a way to get smoother chord changes.
To the musicians among you (and those aspiring to make music) - I would be very happy to get some feedback!
