Write in a genre, not around one

VERT turns researched harmonic language into progressions you can shape, hear, edit, and hand to a DAW. Choose one of 56 focused genre profiles, decide how closely to preserve its evidence, then control key, mode, length, surprise, complexity, voicing, rhythm, and every chord in the result.

Evidence becomes something you can play

Artwork placeholders for genre profiles, build modes, harmonic controls, chord editing, audition, and MIDI handoff

Fifty-six musical languages

The catalogue reaches from City Pop, Neo-Soul, Shoegaze, UK Garage, and Amapiano to MPB, Modern Country, Metalcore, Doo-Wop, Bluegrass, and 1970s Funk. Each focused profile has its own harmonic vocabulary, cadence rules, density, voicing, and playback defaults

Research with a memory

The runtime table compiles 1,539 weighted ledger rows, 1,426 genre-scoped structural cycles, and 639 sources spanning 360 named works. Multiple sections from one work are normalized before selection so documentation volume does not become extra lottery weight

Three ways to build

Adapt reshapes one selected archetype onto a regular grid. Preserve keeps one complete weighted evidence progression. Combine joins typed two-to-four-chord motifs while requiring every engine-made connection to pass the genre transition grammar

Control the frame

Choose tonic, automatic or explicit mode, automatic or 20–400 BPM tempo, and 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bars. Surprise changes evidence reach, Complexity changes harmonic detail, and Voicing moves from close to open spacing

Edit the progression itself

Lock or reroll individual chords, drag cards into a new order, edit roots and qualities, reshape whole-beat harmonic rhythm, and move MIDI notes in the expandable voicing editor without giving up deterministic recall

Hear it, then hand it off

Preview through eleven internal instruments and seven rhythms, follow host transport, or send live MIDI. Drag, copy, or save a MIDI file carrying tempo, meter, modal key metadata, chord markers, channel-one voicings, and a channel-two bass line

A lineage first, then a progression

VERT does not begin by pooling every chord it knows. It selects or constructs a genre-valid lineage, resolves a key and mode, realizes legal transitions and cadence behavior, then voices, rhythms, auditions, and exports the finished cycle.

Progression architecture VERT / V0.1.0
Ground
A focused genre profile contributes authored archetypes, evidence lineages, legal transition modalities, cadence behavior, tempo, complexity, voicing, and rhythm defaults
Build
Adapt, Preserve, and Combine make the source relationship explicit while seed, locks, chord count, and stable lineage identity keep generation reproducible across project recall
Realize
Every result receives Roman-numeral analysis, playable root-complete voicings, a dedicated low bass voice, per-note duration, swing and gate behavior, audition audio, and MIDI-ready timing

Generate, challenge, and own the result

The first progression is a proposal, not a locked answer. VERT keeps the musical evidence visible enough to guide the next decision while giving every chord, duration, voicing, and handoff an editable surface.

  1. Choose a language

    Start from one of 24 factory entries—or address any of the 56 profiles through the automatable Genre parameter—then set the tonic and keep the evidence-selected mode and tempo or override either explicitly

  2. Choose the relationship

    Use Adapt for a regular production grid, Preserve for a complete evidence cycle, or Combine to compose a new phrase from typed motifs inside one genre

  3. Keep what works

    Lock strong chords, reroll weak ones in context, reorder or edit cards, then tune harmonic rhythm, individual MIDI notes, Surprise, Complexity, Voicing, and playback pattern

  4. Move into the session

    Audition internally, follow host transport, enable live VST3 MIDI where supported, or drag, copy, and save a Standard MIDI File for arrangement and sound design in the DAW

24Factory genre starts

Twenty-four doors into the catalogue

The factory Genre Library covers 24 representative starting points across Organic, Groove, and Electronic families. Each entry selects a profile and applies its authored complexity, voicing, rhythm, and four-bar working setup.

Search and category filters keep the factory-only library focused; all 56 profiles remain addressable through the automatable Genre parameter, with no user-preset or favorite layer
