Awesome! Thanks for that. If anybody knows about something similar but with drum patterns please let me know.

Nice tip!

Also, archive.org has tons of MIDI files. This pack, for example, has almost 170 thousand files.

is that just chords

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's probably a bit of everything: chords, songs, drums

Agreed. If you really want to pay money for chords get Scaler 2 or something. Still unnecessary but I do enjoy it for inspiration and studying.

Does it have diminished chords? Augmented chords? add9 chords? Slash chords? Altered chords?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it has allllll the chords

I dunno, I have always liked making my own progressions. These packs defeat the purpose of that.

i use them as inspiration

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, that's different then, rather than using prepackaged chord progressions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah chord progressions are for practicing melodies, inspiration, taking in ideas. i wouldnt make a song with prepacked chords unless i had a really good reason why
