Wet Chords — chords you can actually hear before you commit
Pick a mood, play the pads, build a progression, and take the MIDI into your DAW.
It's built to be learnable: the melody grid shows you why a note works
against a chord, not just whether it does.
1 · Moods
Start here. Each mood is a curated set of chords that belong together — pick the
feeling and the theory is handled.
2 · Play
Tap the pads (or keys 1–7) to hear each chord. The piano shows the exact notes
and names them as you go.
3 · Sequence
Tap a step, then a pad, to build a progression. Spark a melody over it, add a
bass line, and adjust anything by hand.
4 · Connect
Download the MIDI — chords, melody and bass arrive as three separate tracks —
or play live into your DAW over MIDI.
THE MELODY GRID
Every cell is coloured by what that note does against the chord underneath it:
chord tone — safe to land on colour tone — in key approach — leans into a chord tone clashes — avoid on strong beats
Hover any cell and it tells you why. Change the chords and the colours move with them.

MIDI Output
- In your DAW, create a new software-instrument track.
- Set that track's MIDI input to the output selected above (it shows up just like a MIDI keyboard).
- Come back here, pick a mood, and tap a pad to play a chord.
MIDI Keyboard Input (optional)
If you have a physical MIDI keyboard plugged in, pick it here — any key you play triggers the current Flavor/mood's chord using that note as the root, same as tapping a pad or pressing 1–7.
Desktop App
Install Wet Chords as its own app window — no browser tabs or address bar, just the tool, sitting next to your DAW.
