The chord problem

Good progressions shouldn’t need a theory degree

Without Aurichord

Writing chords feels like a theory exam you keep failing.
Block triads that sound like a doorbell, not a keys player.
One wrong note and the whole topline falls apart.
Arps that run the same up-down ladder every bar.
Preset packs full of chords you didn’t write.

With Aurichord

Pick a key once — all seven chords land on seven pads.
Session-player voicings: spread, inverted, musical.
A melody zone where you literally can’t hit a wrong note.
ORBIT keeps a held chord in motion, planetary style.
Drag the MIDI out — every part is yours to edit.
Why producers play it

A chord instrument, not a cheat sheet

Benefit-first, in the order you actually write.

01 — The key

Seven pads. The whole key.

Pick a key and scale once. Aurichord lays the seven diatonic chords of that key across seven pads, so every pad you hit belongs in your song. Progressions stop being a theory exam and start being a performance.

02 — Voicing

Voiced like a session player, not a textbook.

Block triads are why most chord tools sound like a doorbell. Aurichord voices each chord the way a keys player actually plays it: spread, inverted, musical. The difference between “chord plugin” and “somebody who can play” is the voicing.

03 — Melody

The melody zone: you cannot hit a wrong note.

Above the chord pads sits a melody zone filtered to the notes of your key. Sketch toplines and countermelodies with two fingers and zero fear. Everything you play fits everything the pads are doing, because both are locked to the same scale.

Melody — snap on, no wrong notes
Locked to the selected key
04 — ORBIT

ORBIT: an arpeggiator that moves like a solar system.

ORBIT takes whatever chord you’re holding and puts its notes in motion, planetary style: patterns that rotate and evolve instead of running the same up-down ladder every bar. Hold a pad, let ORBIT run, and your static progression becomes a moving part.

05 — Presets

100 factory presets, hand-crafted.

One hundred starting points built by ear, not batch-exported. Load one, hit pads, and steal the mood: keys, voicing style, and ORBIT motion set up as a finished instrument. Hand-crafted is the ForgeDSP rule, and it’s true here too.

Honest answers

I don’t know music theory. Is this for me?+
Especially for you. You choose a key once (or just try a few), and from then on every pad and every melody note fits. You learn theory by accident, by hearing what the chords do.
Does Aurichord work in my DAW?+
Any VST3 host on Windows: FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, REAPER, Bitwig, and the rest.
Is there a Mac version?+
Not yet. Windows-only at launch, said plainly. macOS is coming; join the list on the Free Demos page to hear when it lands.
Is this a subscription?+
No. Pay once, own the license. No account, no recurring charge, nothing that expires.
Can I use what I write commercially?+
Yes. Every progression, melody, and arp line you make with Aurichord is yours, royalty-free, in any release.
What if it’s not for me?+
Email us within 14 days of purchase and we refund you — see the refund policy. Where a free demo exists, try it first: it answers “does this work in my DAW” for free.

You can hear the progression in your head. The only thing in the way was the theory.

Every chord in the key.
Under one finger each.
