01Overview

W. A. Production released this preset pack for Instachord, its MIDI processing plugin for playing chords and chord progressions. The pack contains 50 presets built around commonly used chords in four genres. Each preset is a one-click starting point, so you can drop a progression into a session and adjust it from there. The presets only work with Instachord, so you need a copy of Instachord to use them.

03In depth

Chord Presets Across Four Genres

The pack is split by genre: 12 blues chord presets, 13 disco chord presets, 13 funk chord presets and 12 jazz chord presets. Each set focuses on the chords most associated with its style, which makes the pack a quick way to get genre-appropriate harmony without building every voicing by hand.

Because the presets are organized by genre, they also work as a reference. Producers who are learning how chords and progressions are typically built in these styles can load a preset, study the result and then change it.

Editing Presets Within Instachord

The presets keep all of Instachord's existing features, so you can edit them using the controls you already know. You can change the action, the designation and the transpose setting, and you can shift the octave. Any change you make can be saved as a new preset, so your own versions sit alongside the factory material.

The pack is listed as 50 files totaling 568KB, a small download that adds to an Instachord setup without taking up much space.
