Free Piano Chord Progression Generator – MIDI & WAV.
Need a free piano chord generator with MIDI download? Create chord progressions for piano house, dance-pop, UK garage and speed garage. Choose a key and chord style, preview six ideas using sampled grand-piano audio, then download editable MIDI or rendered WAV files. No account or music-theory experience required.
WHERE CAN I GENERATE PIANO HOUSE CHORDS?
Use the ODESA Free Piano Chord Progression Generator above to make piano-house chord patterns directly in your browser. Pick Commercial Piano House or Soulful Piano House, choose a key and scale, and press Generate 6 Progressions. Listen to each idea before downloading the chord progression as MIDI or WAV. There's no registration or paid download step.
This is a chord progression generator, rather than a single-chord lookup chart: it creates a sequence of playable chords with voicings and note timing. Try offbeat house patterns for energetic piano stabs, or switch to UK garage for more syncopated chord ideas.
Get individual MIDI files containing the chord notes, voicings, timing and velocities. Load them into your own piano or synth in a DAW.
Export a rendered piano performance using the sampled grand-piano sound. Piano sample files load from an external library when needed.
Choose major or minor, triads, 7ths or 9ths, smooth or wide voicings, and tempos from 80 to 160 BPM.
Once your progression works, build the low end with the free bassline generator with MIDI and WAV export.
MORE THAN RANDOM CHORDS.
The generator builds each progression inside your chosen key, gives every scale degree the correct chord quality, and uses dominant 7th chords where harmonic tension is useful. It then chooses inversions that keep shared notes in place and reduce unnecessary jumps between chords.
Use clean triads, rich 7ths or expressive 9ths without needing to calculate the individual notes.
Every preview and WAV export uses a multi-sampled acoustic grand piano rather than a basic sine-wave chord.
Download MIDI to change the voicing, rhythm, sound or progression, or download the separately rendered WAV.
WHY 7TH CHORDS?
Major 7ths can feel warm and nostalgic, minor 7ths add a smooth soulful colour, and dominant 7ths create tension that naturally pulls toward the next chord. Piano house and UK garage frequently combine these richer chord types with short stabs, offbeat placement, syncopation and carefully controlled note lengths.
The default Smooth voicing keeps the progression connected. Wide voicing opens the chords across more than one octave, while Rootless mode leaves extra room for a separate bassline.
HOW TO USE THE PIANO CHORD GENERATOR.
Build a progression in five steps. You can hear every result before downloading it, and each MIDI file remains fully editable inside your DAW.
Select dance-pop, commercial or soulful piano house, UK garage, speed garage or emotional dance-pop.
Choose any chromatic key, then select major for a brighter centre or minor for a deeper starting point.
Use clean triads, 7th chords, mixed shapes or richer combinations of 7ths and 9ths.
Set the voicing, rhythm, human feel, tempo and length, then generate six related progression options.
Play each idea with the sampled piano, then download the editable MIDI or rendered WAV separately.
EXAMPLE PIANO CHORD PROGRESSIONS.
These examples show how the same basic chord-writing principles change across genres. Roman numerals describe each chord's position in the key, making the patterns easy to transpose.
Notes: F-Ab-C-Eb, Db-F-Ab-C, Ab-C-Eb-G, Eb-G-Bb-Db.
Short, energetic 7th-chord stabs create the piano-house movement. Use smooth inversions so the upper notes remain connected.
Notes: C-E-G, B-D-G, A-C-E-G, A-C-E-F.
The familiar four-chord movement is made smoother by the descending C-B-A bass motion and close upper voicings.
Notes: D-F-A-C-E, Bb-D-F-A, F-A-C-E-G, C-E-G-Bb-D.
Richer 7th and 9th voicings suit syncopated UKG placement. Shorten the MIDI and leave deliberate gaps around the drums.
Notes: F-Ab-C-Eb-G and Db-F-Ab-C. Rootless options: Ab-C-Eb-G and F-Ab-C.
Two chords are enough when the bass supplies the movement. Use fewer, shorter stabs and protect the space around the low end.
CHOOSE CHORDS BY GENRE.
The chord names matter, but rhythm, voicing and note length are what make the same progression behave differently across genres.
Use connected major 7th, minor 7th and dominant 7th shapes with short offbeat or repeated piano rhythms.
Try 7ths and 9ths, close inversions and stabs placed around a swung 2-step drum pattern.
Use two to four chords, shorter releases and rootless shapes that leave room for the sub and moving bass.
Build a clear emotional loop, then use inversions and a controlled top note to create smoother transitions.
WHAT THE MIDI DOWNLOAD CONTAINS.
The downloaded MIDI stores the performance information used by the generator. It does not lock you to the website's piano sound, so you can load any piano, synth, organ, pad or sampler inside your DAW.
The position and duration of every chord note, including the selected sustained, offbeat, stab or syncopated rhythm.
The performance intensity assigned to each note, including small differences created by the human-feel setting.
The exact pitches and octaves used for smooth, close, wide or rootless chord shapes.
The file includes tempo information based on the selected BPM, although your DAW may follow its current project tempo on import.
HOW TO IMPORT THE MIDI INTO YOUR DAW
Drag the .mid file onto an empty software-instrument track, choose your instrument, then confirm or adjust the project tempo.
Drag the .mid file onto a MIDI track in Arrangement or Session View, then load an instrument onto that track.
Drag the .mid file into the Playlist or use File, Import, MIDI file. Send the notes to your chosen channel or instrument.
PIANO CHORD GENERATOR FAQ.
IS THE PIANO CHORD GENERATOR FREE?
Yes. You can generate, preview and download the available MIDI and WAV chord ideas without paying to use the generator.
CAN I USE THE CHORDS COMMERCIALLY?
Yes. Generated MIDI and WAV progressions may be used in personal and commercial music productions. Results are non-exclusive and may not be unique. Do not resell unmodified outputs as a standalone MIDI or sample pack.
CAN I DOWNLOAD PIANO CHORD PROGRESSIONS AS MIDI FOR FREE?
Yes. Each of the six generated chord progressions has its own free .mid download button. Import the MIDI into FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro or another compatible DAW to change the notes, timing or instrument.
WHERE CAN I GENERATE PIANO HOUSE CHORDS ONLINE?
Choose Commercial Piano House or Soulful Piano House from the style menu above, select your key and preferred 7th or 9th chords, then generate six piano progressions. Preview each idea and download MIDI or WAV without registration.
DO I NEED AN ACCOUNT OR A PAID SUBSCRIPTION?
No. The generator itself is free, with no sign-up required to generate, listen to or download its MIDI and WAV chord progressions.
WHAT ARE 7TH AND 9TH CHORDS?
A 7th chord adds the seventh scale degree above a triad. A 9th chord extends a 7th chord by adding the ninth, which is the same pitch class as the second one octave higher.
CAN I USE IT WITHOUT KNOWING MUSIC THEORY?
Yes. Choose a genre, key, scale and chord colour, then audition the six generated ideas. The tool keeps each progression inside the selected key automatically.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIANO HOUSE AND UK GARAGE CHORDS?
Piano house commonly uses direct, energetic piano stabs over four-on-the-floor drums. UK garage often uses richer voicings, more syncopated placement and additional space around a swung 2-step rhythm.
WHY IS THE PIANO TAKING TIME TO LOAD?
The first piano preview or WAV download fetches grand-piano samples from an external audio library. You need an internet connection for that initial load. MIDI downloads do not need the piano samples.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MIDI AND WAV DOWNLOADS?
MIDI contains editable chord-note and performance data, but no recorded piano sound. WAV contains rendered sampled-piano audio that you can drag into a project. Choose MIDI to change instruments or chord notes; choose WAV when you want the piano audio.
