What it does
Speed of auditioning a chord progression is second-to-none, ability to create a working backing track to supercharge songwriting. Nothing comes close in the same price class.
Cordial turns a key, a mode, and a progression into five working parts — one shared backbone driving four independent streams of MIDI, each on its own channel. Designed for quick ideas and easy sketching, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started. Comes with dozens of presets spanning multiple genres for quick inspiration. Set a root key, a mode, a chord-progression preset, and a seed. This is the harmonic backbone every other part is built on. Reroll the seed for a fresh idea in the same key — or lock it once it’s right. Each layer reads the same backbone but carries its own rhythm, register, velocity, and style. Enable only the ones you need — each plays out on its own MIDI…from cordialvst.com

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
