Using the chord editor

Create backing tracks with the piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Select a tempo and style at the top and enter chords by clicking the chord boxes or the "+" icon. Play your track by clicking the "Play" button or by pressing the spacebar on your keyboard.

For example, you can use the chord editor to:

  • Find new chord progressions.
  • Create backing tracks for playing and singing.
  • Create backing tracks for improvisation.

Drag and drop chords to change their order. To remove a chord, drag the chord outside of the gray box. To change the length of the chord, drag the right side of a chord box to the left or right. You can also change the length by clicking the chord.
