AChorda

Visual chord progression builder with arpeggiator and synth

What it does

AChorda turns the Circle of Fifths into a hands-on chord sketchpad. Tap chords on a visual harmonic map, chain them into progressions, and hear them instantly through a built-in dual-oscillator synth with ADSR, LFO, and filter. Switch between full chords, strums, and arpeggio patterns. No DAW, no setup — just sketch an idea and hear it move. Free version covers the core workflow. Paid upgrade coming — one-time purchase, no subscription.

  • I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device17d ago · simedw.com · ▲598

    I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

    I'm excited to share with HN a new pet project I've been working on to explore how AI can create and explain harmonic chord progressions - Chord Variations. The project uses GPT-4 to generate unique and interesting chord combinations based on user input chord progression. It's akin to having a virtual musical assistant that can help non-musicians and musicians alike explore and create harmonious sound without needing any prior knowledge of music theory. The generated chord suggestions maintain a similar vibe to the user input. Alternative chord progression includes extended chords, chord…

    A simple web game to help learn chords and basic progressions2024 · chords.yottanami.com · ▲215

    Hi Hacker News, I've created Chord Nebula, a simple web-based game designed to help users learn and practice piano chords, basic progressions, and harmony fundamentals.

Current Status: Chord Nebula is still a simple project. I'm…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
