Odesi Chords, an app for quick song ideas

Odesi Chords is the iPhone and iPad version of the Odesi Music Composition software for desktop users.

Produced by Mixed in Key it’s another tool for non musical folk to be musical! Like Mixed in key will tell DJs which tracks go well together, with Odesi you can select a formula and patterns for songs and then add your own adjustments to make it sounds more like you! The best description for Odesi is a song generator with a massive database of hit song formulas to tap into.

Odesi Chords

They’ve now released the iOS version called Odesi Chords and whilst ‘proper musicians’ may balk at the idea of using a computer program to generate chord structures based on hit songs, having something like Odesi Chords on your iPhone or iPad could be really handy for those odd moments when inspiration strikes.

With Odesi Chords you can create chord progressions, bass lines, and drum patterns as a skeleton for your track and comes stocked with various drum sounds, synth patches, bass lines etc.

One thing the app can’t do is record into the app, so if you’re a singer or rapper you will be able to create a basic song and rap or sing to it but not record. The song you do create though can be saved (minus vocals) and either be imported directly into the desktop version for further construction or exported as MIDI or audio to your DAW.

Odesi Chords is a free download and available for iOS – no Android version yet.  Visit the App Store for more details.

You can watch the video for the desktop version of Odesi here, but the app version is FREE so better still, simply download it and have some fun.
