How to use the Audiomodern code generation plug-in Chordjam ③

This is the third bullet.

Click here for the previous article.

I wrote about the settings and simple usage last time, so please refer to it.

This time I will explain the sequence part.

This article will be sent with the following contents.

Sequencer overview

Chordjam combines sequence and chord writing with a modern approach, offering multiple options for generating chord progressions using both random steps and controllable algorithms.
Generate chord progressions using both random steps and controllable algorithms.It is divided into a "robot sequencer" that generates chord progressions and a "user sequencer" that adds chords by yourself.Both sequencers work simultaneously in sync with your DAW and can be combined to create unique and complex code structures and evolved progressions.

How to use the sequence

There are two types of sequencers: "robot sequencer" and "user sequencer".

It is also possible to use both together.

User sequencer

The user sequencer arranges the code by itself.

There are two ways to do it.

One is to click on the keyboard of the chord you want to place and then create a step in the sequencer.

The other is to create a step first, then select the step and then click on the keyboard of the chord you want to play.

Robot sequencer

The robot sequencer will generate a chord progression for you.

The pattern part and the code part can be set separately.

Select a pattern from presets

Select from the presets from the upper right.

Click to display the presets as shown below.

You won't see any changes when you select it, but you can change it while playing.

A pattern is randomly generated each time "RANDOM" is pressed.

Select a code from presets

Next is the code.

Click the red frame in the figure below to display the presets.

The presets are displayed on the right side.

In short, the following three parts have the same meaning.

If you click on the keyboard, you can select the chord to play.

Progress mode

There are two modes, "PROG" and "RAND", when playing a sequence.

"RAND" mode

This will play the pattern in the order shown below.

The order can be changed by dragging, and you can make a copy by clicking the lower right corner.

"RAND" mode

In "RAND" mode, the chords are simply played randomly.

Infinity mode

When "RAND" mode or other random is enabled, you can change the random generation interval by enabling Infinity mode.

If it is "1", a new random will be generated for each loop.

If it is set to "2", it will be randomly generated for the third time with the same contents until it loops twice.

I think that it is effective when exporting a phrase that I thought was cool as a use by MIDI. (Because the previous MIDI information is overwritten when it is regenerated)

Summary

It was a little surprising, but I realized that Chordjam is super easy to feel like Lo-Fi or Trap.

I will write a separate article, but if you reduce the random range and apply Tape effects, it looks like this.

If you set Infinity mode to 2 and you can do a nice random thing, you can write MIDI to create a slightly elaborate chord.
