03In depth

Chord Voicings and Workflow

InstaChord is built around a chord bank with five voicings per chord. Because it works as a MIDI processor, it generates chord notes from the MIDI input you play, which lets you audition progressions quickly and drop them into a track.

W. A. Production positions the plugin for songwriters and producers who want to speed up song creation. Its chord bank can be used to find a progression and then drive it from one MIDI pattern, which keeps the arrangement process short.

Genre Expansion Packs

Each expansion pack contains presets designed for a specific style. The progressive house, future garage, melodic dubstep, future bounce, slap house and chillout packs each include preset chord sets intended to give starting points in that genre.

Some packs also include patterns for InstaChord 2. Presets are provided in versions for both InstaChord 1 and InstaChord 2, so you can use them with whichever version you own.
