The Reharmonist
Generate Chords for a Melody
Generate chords for a melody, or an improved chord progression for a melody, with the “Reharmonist” feature.
This feature generates a chord progression in the chosen genre, based only on the melody.
The idea of the Reharmonist is to generate a completely new chord progression for a melody, in a genre that you
choose (Jazz, Country, etc.). This ignores any existing chords in the song.
Chords for a Whole Song
This example uses the melody of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #1 in F, 1st movement, but you could use the
melody of any song you choose.
Press the [Re-Harm] button to open the Select Re-Harmonist dialog and choose “Whole Song.”
You could also use Windows | Auto-Generate Chord Reharmonization.
Deselect “Show-All” and then select the “Bossa Nova (Latin)” genre.
Note that the program has analyzed the melody, and decided that the key should be F (this is independent of any key
that was already set in the song).
Now press “OK – Reharmonize.” You will then have an entire chord
progression written for the song, in a Bossa Nova style.
The Chord Progression generated is different every time, so the one that you get will be different from this one.
