MisomidixChords Manual

What is MisomidixChords?

MisomidixChords is a chord MIDI generator for Mac and Windows. It is the chord edition of Misomidix: same engine, one part. It writes a progression voiced the way the genre voices it. It makes no sound on its own: put it on a MIDI track ahead of an instrument, or drag its MIDI onto your timeline.

It resolves a progression against the key, then voices it: chord tones stacked through the parent scale, inversions and drop voicings chosen by the smallest voice movement, and the whole thing fitted to the genre's range. The fifth drops before the third, so major or minor stays clear under a tight voicing. Chords are named the way a musician writes them, spelled for the key.

How does generative chord voicing work?

Voicing is how the notes of a chord are stacked and spread across the keyboard. MisomidixChords resolves a progression against the key, then voices it the way the genre does: inversions and drop voicings are chosen by minimal voice movement and fitted to the genre's range. The fifth drops before the third, so major or minor stays clear under a tight voicing.

Chords are named the way you write them and spelled for the key: Cm, Ab, Bbsus2 in C minor, never enharmonic equivalents that obscure the function. Each genre voices chords its own way: Deep House reaches for ninths and elevenths, Techno barely moves off the tonic.

The interface

Controls

Top bar

• 1
  Fire Head: click the flame logo to open the About panel: what the plugin is, who made it, its version and the trademark notices. Click anywhere in the panel to close it.
• 2
  BPM: the tempo used when no host provides one, as in the Standalone app. In a DAW, the host's tempo is followed automatically.60 to 200 BPM, default 124
• 3
  Play: the plugin's own transport, used whenever the host isn't driving playback. It is on by default.
• 4
  Host Sync: follows your DAW's tempo and transport. Switch it off to audition with the plugin's own clock while the DAW is stopped.
• 5
  MIDI Out: the output gate: when it's on, the generated notes leave the plugin. If it's off, MisomidixChords still runs but nothing reaches your instrument. It is on by default.
• 6
  Build: regenerates the pattern as an energy build toward the drop: the part becomes a filter riser. It works best on 8 or 16 bars.
• 7
  Preview: plays the pattern through a built-in preview synth, so you can audition it in place. Route the MIDI to your own instrument for the final sound.

What to write

• 8
  Genre: the style the chords are written in. Each genre voices chords its own way: Deep House reaches for ninths and elevenths, Techno barely moves off the tonic.Tech House, Deep Tech, House, Deep House, Melodic House, Progressive House, Afro House, Organic House, Bass House, Techno, Minimal, Drum & Bass, Hip Hop / Rap, Rock

  Tip Each genre voices chords its own way: Deep House reaches for ninths and elevenths, Techno barely moves off the tonic.
• 9
  Key: the key of the progression. Chords are named the way a musician writes them, spelled for the key.

  Tip Key and scale set the chord pool. A major key never hands you diminished chords; separate major and minor pools keep the harmony grounded.
• 10
  Scale: the scale, including modes. Major and minor keys have separate progression pools, so a major key never hands you diminished chords.
• 11
  Loop length: how many bars the loop is.
• 12
  Progression: picks a specific chord progression from the genre's pool. Any progression lets the genre choose by weight.

  Tip Pick a specific progression from the genre's pool, or leave it on Any to let weight decide. Each genre carries its own progressions.

Presets, snapshots and codes

• 13
  Presets: presets store the generative formula, the settings that produce a kind of result, and are saved to disk by name.
• 14
  Save / Load: Save stores the current settings as a user preset; Load opens a preset file from anywhere on disk.
• 15
  Clear: empties all four snapshot slots. The pattern you're on is untouched.
• 16
  Snapshots: four numbered slots for this session. Click + to keep the pattern you're on (it becomes the next number), and click a number to come back to it. Alt-click a slot to store over it. Snapshots are saved with your project.
• 17
  Undo / Redo: undo and redo cover generating, re-rolls, preset loads, snapshot recalls and imports.
• 18
  Pattern code: the current pattern as a shareable code. Paste a code in and press Apply or Enter to get that exact pattern back.
• 19
  Apply / Copy: Apply loads the code in the box; Copy puts this pattern's code on your clipboard. Codes carry a checksum, so a mistyped code is refused instead of loading something else.

Macros

• 20
  Complexity: drives the extensions: sevenths, ninths and suspensions.0 to 100%

  Tip Complexity drives the extensions: higher values add sevenths, ninths and suspensions. Lower values keep the chords simple triads.
• 21
  Density: how many notes there are. Low for a sparse intro, high for a busy drop.0 to 100%

  Tip Lower Density for sustained pads that ring through each bar. Raise it for a rhythmic chord pattern.
• 22
  Swing: the swing of the timing.0 to 100%

  Tip Swing pushes the off-beat chords later for a shuffled feel that works well with house and deep tech.
• 23
  Humanize: adds a human feel to the timing and playing.0 to 100%
• 24
  Length: note length: below 100% shortens notes toward staccato, above it lengthens them toward legato. Notes still never collide.10% to 200%

  Tip Shorten Length toward staccato for a choppy rhythm, or extend it toward legato for smooth, connected pads.
• 25
  Groove: leans the whole timing ahead of the beat (Rush) or behind it (Drag).Rush 100% to Drag 100%, with Straight in the middle

  Tip Groove leans the timing ahead (Rush) or behind (Drag) the beat. A slight drag gives the chords a relaxed feel against the drums.

Generate and export

• 26
  Generate: generates a new pattern.
• 27
  Re-roll: re-rolls the chords.
• 28
  Export MIDI: saves the chords as a MIDI file.
• 29
  Drag to DAW: drag from this handle onto your timeline to take the pattern on screen into your session.

Piano roll

• 30
  Fold: shows only the pitches the part actually uses, so the piano roll stays compact.
• 31
  Piano roll: shows the notes of the chords. You can also drag it onto your timeline.

Meters and displays

• 31
  Piano roll: shows the notes, with the bar numbers along the top and each chord's name above its bar, spelled for the key.
• ·
  MIDI files on the window: drop a .mid file on the window to import it and re-voice your own material.

How does the sound flow through MisomidixChords?

MisomidixChords writes MIDI, not audio. The progression is resolved first, then voiced.

Chord voicings

The engine picks the inversion that moves the least from the previous chord, so the progression sounds smooth instead of jumping between root-position blocks.

Root position stacks C-E-G. First inversion moves the C up an octave, putting E on the bottom. Second inversion moves the E up too, putting G on the bottom. The engine tries every inversion and picks the one whose voices move the least from the previous chord.

How do I write a progression with MisomidixChords?

1. Load it. Put MisomidixChords on a MIDI track ahead of an instrument, or open the Standalone app.
2. Set it up. Pick a genre, a key, a scale and a loop length.
3. Choose the progression. Pick a specific progression from the genre's pool, or leave it on Any progression and let the genre choose.
4. Add color. Use Complexity for sevenths, ninths and suspensions.
5. Generate. Press Generate, or Re-roll for a new version. Keep each version you like in a snapshot slot with +.
6. Take it out. Drag the pattern onto your timeline with Drag to DAW, or press Export MIDI for a MIDI file. Copy the pattern code to get the result back later.

How do I build a chord progression for a pad with MisomidixChords?

1. Choose the genre and key. Pick a genre that suits the mood. Deep House and Melodic House produce wide, extended voicings. Set the key and scale.
2. Lower the Density. Pull Density down so the chords sustain through each bar rather than chopping in a rhythm.
3. Raise Length toward legato. Push Length above 100% so the notes overlap slightly, which sounds natural on a pad.
4. Set Complexity for extensions. Raise Complexity to add sevenths and ninths. These give the progression its color and movement.
5. Drag into your DAW. Drag the result onto a MIDI track routed to a pad synth. The chord names show above each bar in the piano roll.
