Harvest Plugins ‘Forager’: A Plug-in that Instantly Creates Pro-Level Chords & Progressions at Your Fingertips
Harvest Plugins is proud to announce availability of 'Forager' - a music making tool. Forager is a plug-in that allows you to search chords in order to create new combinations in a unique way using a little bit of randomness and using your own creativity in the process. In other words, it’s a plug-in that allows the user to generate a list of every chord that fits within certain parameters, then map these chords to a grid of intuitive playability.
A fresh, exciting chord progression is a perfect way to inspire amazing melodies, bass lines and drum patterns. But sometimes our habits keep us from writing chord progressions that truly inspire us. Forager presents a way of creating unique chord progressions that helps do just that.
Select notes on the note selection keyboard, and on the right appears a list of every possible chord within that note selection. If you select all white keys (C major), then you will receive only chords using all white keys, meaning all chords in the list are in C major. From there, randomizing the grid populates it with chords in random order. This allows you to surprise yourself by juxtaposing different chords from your selection.
By using *loose matches, locked chords, required notes, filter and exclusions, Forager allows for a powerful workflow in doing what it was designed to do: finding great chords that work together. With Forager, you can create pro-level chords and progressions without spending years learning music theory.
* Loose Matches: the number of Loose Matches represents the number of notes outside your note selection to be permitted in the Chord list.
My roots in producing music started at age 12 when I started using my older brother’s USB mic and guitar to record original (ahem…terrible) songs with my brother on the drums. Ever since I started making music, I was recording it. The software that allowed me to do this is the only reason I continued pursuing music, and so I’m thrilled to contribute new, exciting software to the world.

At age 12, I started making music using a 4-track and the family desktop computer. I started programming 4 years later. After years of creating music and sound using sample-based loops and various other experimentations, I’m excited to have a tool that allows me to easily explore new, unique musical phrases as well as rearrangements of samples. I’d love to hear what you make.
