M2TM Progressions

M2TM Progressions is a MIDI Tool for Ableton Live 12, that allows you to generate harmonies taken from a repository of over 230 progressions (including all common and many not-so-common ones). Progressions can be transposed to any key and octave, rotated, reversed and randomized. You can specify chord inversions, open/close voicings, select chord complexity, create "thicker" chords, and choose among 150+ rhythm patterns!

At a first glance, M2TM Progressions looks like one of those MIDI chord packs that are so popular among musicians, except no pack gives you this variety and flexibility. If you combine all M2TM Progressions' harmony and rhythmic variations, you end up with the over 700 billion different chord progressions!

M2TM Progressions' unique auto-inversion option can automatically select the best inversion for each chord in the rogression, as an expert piano or keyboard player would do. If two consecutive chords have notes in common, the legato can merge theme into a single, longer note (great for pads and string sections!).

You can generate the harmonies for an entire song by concatenating simpler progressions in the same Session or Arrangement clips. New progressions can be appended to existing ones, and the loop-match option can ensure that the clip's loop area always either matches the most recent progression or encompasses all the sub-progressions generated so far.

Regardless of whether you are an harmony wizard or know nothing about music theory, M2TM Progressions can be an endless source of inspiration and saves you hours.
