Formulas Used in Music Chord Progression Generator
The generator uses music theory to create chord progressions:
Scale Construction:
- Major Scale: Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Whole, Half (e.g., C Major: C, D, E, F, G, A, B)
- Minor Scale: Whole, Half, Whole, Whole, Half, Whole, Whole (e.g., A Minor: A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
Chord Construction:
- Major: I, IV, V (major); ii, iii, vi (minor); vii° (diminished)
- Minor: i, iv, v (minor); ii° (diminished); III, VI, VII (major)
- 7th Chords: I maj7, ii m7, iii m7, IV maj7, V7, vi m7, vii m7♭5 (major scale); similar for minor
Progression Selection:
- Pop: Common progressions (e.g., I-IV-V-I, vi-IV-I-V)
- Jazz: ii7-V7-I maj7, extended chords
- Classical: Cadence-based (e.g., I-IV-I-V7-I)
Mood Description:
- Major Pop: Uplifting, catchy
- Minor Pop: Emotional, reflective
- Jazz: Sophisticated, moody (minor) or bright (major)
