Chord Assistant – Proximity

The Proximity tab of the Chord Assistant takes a set of harmonic rules into account to offer suggestions that match the origin chord.

If you open the Chord Assistant for a chord event, the previous event is set as origin chord.

The origin chord is shown in the bottom center of the Chord Assistant window marks the tonal center. The further away a chord suggestion is situated from this chord, the more complex the suggestion. The suggested chords are triads or 4-note chords.

To open the Proximity tab of the Chord Assistant, double-click a chord event, click Chord Assistant, and click Proximity.

To assign a chord to the selected chord event and play it, click it.
The last 3 suggested chords that you clicked are shown in bold.

Note

If you move the mouse pointer over one of the suggestions in the Chord Assistant, a tooltip with suggestions for progressions is shown.
The Proximity tab underlies the same rules as the List tab.
