ChordMate in Use

Songwriters

ChordMate is a great tool for arranging and composing music. If you already know the general chord progression for your song, ChordMate helps you find the best way to play each chord. ChordMate also helps you quickly try your ideas while you compose something new.

  • Explore Chord Voicings. ChordMate lets you efficiently browse through chord voicings by sorting them in a meaningful order. You can filter out everything extra using a rule editor (just like smart folders in Finder or Mail).
  • Create Your Arrangement. Drag-and-drop chords into the Chord Progression Window. You can try different chord voicings, add, remove, and rearrange chords. You can listen to how the chords sound together right on your computer.
  • Try Alternate Tunings. Sometimes the standard tuning is too limiting. ChordMate comes with most common tunings, and you can also create your own.
  • Print Beautiful Songsheets. You can drag-and-drop chord diagrams into your favorite editor. ChordMate even lets you create custom chord diagrams and custom chord labels in case the standard chords aren't enough.

In short, ChordMate is a great tool for composing and arranging songs!
