What It Is

Diprogress presents a “Chord Progression Generator” created by Franck de Villeneuve. Its core positioning is an online music-idea tool for generating chord progressions. It is aimed at composers, arrangers, electronic music producers, and people learning harmony, helping users quickly get recommended chord paths based on a musical style, subgenre, and starting chord, then listen to the results.

Core Features and Creative Workflow

Based on the captured content, the tool lets users choose a starting note, including the twelve semitones from C to B, and select major, minor, or diminished chords. The page also provides “Progressions Suggérées,” or suggested chord progressions; users can click a path to isolate it and audition it. Additional controls include voicing and tension, such as root position, first inversion, second inversion, and adding seventh chords. This indicates that it does more than simply output static chord names—it also lets users adjust the harmonic color and, to some extent, how the chords are voiced on keyboard or guitar.

Export, Compatibility, and Resource Information

The tool provides basic editing actions such as play, stop, delete the last chord, and clear the entire sequence, and it explicitly supports MIDI (.mid) export. This is practical for music production, as MIDI can be imported into most DAWs or arranging software for further editing of sounds, rhythm, and voicing. However, the main text does not specify which styles are supported, how many subgenres are available, or whether audio, MusicXML, PDF, or project-file export is supported.

Pricing, Licensing, and Collaboration

The captured text does not mention pricing, subscriptions, accounts, payment methods, or free/paid limitations, so its business model cannot be determined. Licensing and copyright are also not explained—for example, whether generated chord progressions can be used commercially or whether attribution is required. In terms of collaboration, there is no visible mention of project sharing, multi-user editing, or cloud saving, so it appears more like a lightweight tool for individual, instant ideation.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a focused feature set and a clear onboarding path, making it suitable for quickly finding harmonic inspiration in the early stages of composition. MIDI export also improves its compatibility with professional production workflows. The drawbacks are the limited public information and the lack of clarity around copyright, pricing, support, and the scale of its musical resources. It is better suited to beginner composers, independent musicians, and producers drafting chord frameworks. If you need a large harmony library, a complete learning system, or team collaboration, alternatives such as Hooktheory, Scaler 2, and Captain Chords may be worth considering.

Access from China

Based solely on the captured text, it is not possible to determine access conditions in mainland China, network stability, or payment availability. It is recommended to test direct connection speed and the export function in practice. If access is unstable, local chord-generator plugins or built-in MIDI chord-generation tools in a DAW may be better alternatives.
