Free MIDI chord pack

Hi,

I hope this is useful. People keep asking about chords and how to play them, and what they mean etc.

I've made MIDI clips for all of the common chords and named the clip with the appropriate chord name.

This is educational as it will help non-musical people to undertand what notes make up the different chords.

Its also fun for putting tunes together quickly, you can just copy and paste some random clips into your set, drag in a vst and see how it sounds.

Sorry of this has already been done - can someone let me know if it works?

Here is C to E... F to B is to come.

Pretty cool (handy)... I wish Live had a backwards compatibility export option.

I wanted to just save the clips in a folder but I couldn't work out how to do it.

Use the "export MIDI file" option from the menu. A bit tedious, but thats how you export midi files without making them Live Clips.

So do I have to export them one by one? There are millions of them!

browse to the desktop on the file browser, make a folder... Highlight all the clips and drag them to the folder. zip that up and hosty.

super cool idea, but the link does not seem to work!

OK I'll resave them as MIDI clips in separate folders. Thanks for the positive feedback! I wasn't sure if it was a stupid idea.

i think it's a great idea! i know about chords and can read music, but with limited piano playing skills, having files like this would come in very handy.

These would actually save me time in alot of my setups

Cool, I'll zip them up and host them somewhere.

How do you guys tune your instruments by the way? The chromatic tuner at the apple website doesnt work with Live because its a Cocoa application.

Any news on that zip file?

Because I can't open a Live 7 project file with Live 6
