Accessing Major, Minor, and Other Chords in All KeysUpdated 21 days ago

Question: Is it possible to get not only major chords but minor, etc., in all keys?

Answer:

Absolutely! Our phrase-based performance libraries are designed to provide realistic musical expressions. Here's how to work with different chords and keys:

  1. Identify the Original Key: Each song kit folder indicates the original key. For example, 01 150 D is in D major, while 01 150 Dm is in D minor.

  2. Transposing in Your DAW:

    • Use your DAW's pitch-shifting tools to transpose the samples to your desired key.

    • For minor to major conversions (or vice versa), consider the relative major/minor relationships. For instance, D major's relative minor is B minor.

  3. Considerations:

    • Transposing up or down by a whole step typically maintains audio quality.

    • Larger transpositions may affect the naturalness of the sound.

Note: Since our products are phrase-based and not virtual instruments, the realism comes from the performance nuances captured in the recordings.
