Chordz是一个VST插件，允许您通过演奏单个音符来触发完整的和弦。每个触发音符都与一个单独的和弦相关联。每个和弦可以由任意数量的音符组成。用一根手指、MIDI键盘或鼓垫演奏复杂的和弦进行曲，或从DAW钢琴卷中添加的单个音符中触发和弦。
和弦可以设置为包括分布在几个八度音阶上的单个音符（触发音符的八度音阶以下和以上的两个八度音阶）。这意味着您可以轻松创建和弦反转和其他自定义和弦发音，例如在根音的上方和下方加倍某些音符。和弦建议功能根据所选音阶和根音建议全音阶和弦。
启用"简易模式"时，您可以仅使用白键以任何音阶演奏和弦，其中"C"始终是I和弦。然后，黑键可用于和弦变化（例如，"C#"可触发大七或大九和弦，而"C"可触发常规大和弦）。
键盘可分为三个区域，一个用于弹奏和弦，另外两个（一个在和弦触发区下方，一个在上方）用于弹奏单音。每个区域都可以独立地向上或向下转置任意数量的八度音阶。这允许你用左手弹奏和弦，而你的右手弹奏旋律。
可选地，和弦触发区域外的单个音符可以强制保持在选定的音阶内。当启用简单模式时，它将遵循和弦触发设置（例如，如果音阶设置为F小调，C音符将产生F小调和弦，则和弦触发区外的C音符将演奏F音符）。这将确保您始终保持专注，永远不会打错音符。
该插件支持和弦每个音符的可选速度缩放和随机化。另一个特点是开始和结束延迟（这也可以是随机的），例如，它可以用来模拟弹拨或创造更不可预测的结果（适用于长时间攻击和/或衰减的声音，如音符或弦乐）。
Chordz附带了40多个音阶/和弦模板，以及一个包含50多种和弦类型的和弦库。您可以通过编辑相关文本文件添加自己的自定义模板和新的和弦类型。当然，您可以直接在GUI中自定义和弦。
Chordz也可以作为一种教育工具。您可以使用Chordz更好地理解各种音阶和相应的和弦，以及通过遵循插件虚拟键盘显示上的视觉指南来学习这些音阶和和弦。
Chordz is a VST plugin that allows you to trigger full chords by playing single notes. Each trigger note is associated with a separate chord. Each chord may consist of any number of notes. Play complicated chord progressions with one finger, with a MIDI keyboard or a drum-pad, or trigger chords from single notes added in your DAW's piano roll.
A chord can be set up to include individual notes spread out over several octaves (two octaves both below and above the octave of the trigger note). This means you can easily create chord inversions and other custom chord voicings, for example double certain notes, both above and below the root note. The chord suggestion feature suggests diatonic chords based on the selected scale and root note.
When "easy mode" is enabled, you can play the chords in any scale using only the white keys, with "C" always being the I chord. The black keys can then be used for chord variations (for example "C#" to trigger a major seventh or ninth chord, while "C" triggers a regular major chord).
The keyboard can be divided into three zones, one for playing chords, the other two (one below, and one above, the chord trigger zone) for playing single notes. Each zone can be independently transposed up or down by any number of octaves. This allows you to play chords with your left hand, while your right hand plays the melody.
Optionally, single notes outside the chord trigger zone can be forced to stay within the selected scale. When easy mode is enabled, it will follow the chord trigger setup (for example, if scale is set to F minor and a C note will produce a F minor chord, a C note outside the chord trigger zone will play a F note). This will ensure that you will always stay in key, and never hit a wrong note.
The plugin supports optional velocity scaling and randomization for each note of the chord. Another feature is the start and end delay (this can also be randomized), which can be used to, for example, emulate strumming or to create more unpredictable results (works great with sounds with a long attack and/or decay, such as pads or strings).
Chordz comes with more than 40 scale/chord templates, and a chord library with more than 50 chord types. You can add your own custom templates, and new chord types by editing the relevant text file. And you can, of course, customize the chords directly in the GUI.
Chordz can also work as an educational tool. You can use Chordz to better understand the various musical scales and corresponding chords, as well as to learn those scales and chords by following the visual guides on the plugin's virtual keyboards display. |
