For Ableton Live users
Add a chord-track-style workflow to Ableton Live. Create and edit chord progressions on a timeline, keep the whole song in view, and hand the MIDI off to your instruments when you are ready.
This is the fastest way to evaluate Chord Dock. Build a progression, select the events you want, and drag the exported MIDI into a clip or arrangement lane in Live. From there, keep editing inside Live as usual.
If you prefer to hear your actual instrument while adjusting harmony, set up Live so the target instrument track listens to Chord Dock's MIDI. The exact clicks depend on your template, but the idea stays simple: Chord Dock plans the harmony, Live plays the sound you care about.
Step 1
Load Chord Dock on a track or slot that makes sense in your Live set and build a short progression first.
Step 2
Set section lengths, compare a few harmonic directions, and make sure the whole-song structure feels right before you commit to detailed note editing.
Step 3
Either drag the progression out as MIDI or keep it routed to the instrument track you want to hear while working.
Step 4
Lite is enough to verify the workflow. When you want faster variation work, Extended adds Reharmo, Arpeggio / Bassline, tensions, and slash chords without changing the basic loop.
If that sounds right, the safest first test is a short Lite session: make one progression, move it into Live, and judge the workflow from the result instead of from feature lists.
Download Lite, build a four- or eight-bar progression, and either drag it into Live or keep an instrument listening while you edit. If the arrangement view feels clearer that way, the page has already done its job.
