> Honestly, I don’t understand what point you want to make
my point is that maybe the chords you think are there actually aren’t
and there are many example of this: in the blues and jazz genres for example
and, before claiming I am a dino, please reconsider what you said, that is carved in Internet BTW 👺
anyway, and to reply to Bernd

Aside from Bernd’s first reply, I didn’t see it anywhere in the comments (particularly in the snide, unhepful one) but even thouigh I probably won’t use this, let me say -
THANK YOU.
This effort took time and skill. You are putting it out there free for all to use and you should be commended for it. Cheers!

That’s a super addition of MIDI clips for Bitwig (which I use) and others. Thank you very much Simon for posting it!

Thank you so much @Fannon for this elegant workaround implemented with a free and open source pack.
I have featured it in a couple of discussions about related Bitwig feature requests:

Yes I see, but we are speaking about a gifted experimenter, i.e. quite a rara avis in the music field like Coltrane
And I suspect another suitable music can be some Frank Zappa’s
But the OP spoke about traditional hymns, that revealed using just a bunch of chords, so I really don’t understand why a “standard” (standard as compared to gifted experimenter) musician could take advantage of such a fast change of chords up to “one chord for each note”, and I don’t understand why Scaler can be considered unusable to re-create any chord series
Well, after reading the @icaria36 first post I am starting to realize the reason why 😀
And it raises a question: is the addendum just doable in Bitwig, or in any DAW?

Thanks for all the nice feedback in here!
I haven’t changed anything about the chord pack since quite a while. There has just been an addition of scales shortly after the initial release. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here!
