Choose a key, a mode and a mood, then press Generate. Every chord comes from the scale you picked, shown with its name and Roman numeral so you can see how it works.

Major and minor are the most common. Dorian is a minor mode with a brighter sixth, Phrygian is a darker minor mode, Lydian is a dreamy major mode with a raised fourth, and Mixolydian is a major mode with a flat seventh used a lot in rock and funk. Harmonic minor raises the seventh, which gives a strong pull back to the root.
