# Discover suitable and related Chords "on the fly"
When playing melodies, kord highlights suitable chords based on the interval that sounded last, so you can instantly discover various possible harmonizations and progressions.
When playing chords or intervals, kord highlights related chords. You can intuitively control the desired degree of relationship simply by varying the played subsets of the original chord's intervals. This also enables you to explicitly specify the notes that you want to focus on when searching for the next chord for your progression.

# Explore Chords available in a given Scale
kord shows chords that are available in a selected scale sorted by complexity.

# Improvise on Scales and Chords
Scales and chords are shown as markings on the keyboard, enabling you to improvise fluently even on complex chords and scales you don't have internalized yet.

# Search for Scales
Find scales by selecting a set of notes directly on the keyboard. This is great when you're looking for a modulation that sustains your melodic leitmotif!

# Create your own Chord Progressions
While exploring and improvising, just drag and drop chords you like to create chord progressions.

# Store and share your Ideas
Save your ideas for later use or send it to other musicians by e-mail
