For this week’s Ableton Rack I have a chord rack for you guys.

It’s a fairly simple rack with one Macro.

Inside the rack, you will find 104 different chains with Chord MIDI effect on each one. This gives you a total of more than a hundred chord types (!) to play with. Check out the Chord Cheat Sheet for more info on the Chord MIDI effect.

Just move the Chord Selector Macro and hit a key on your MIDI keyboard. The first half of the Macro knob will give you more simple chords and the second half of the knob will introduce more complex chords with more color and tension

Try to place a few notes in a MIDI clip and automate the Macro for a really quick way of composing chord progressions.
