cymfonic
daw-native chord progressions.
dynamic harmony. no copy-pasting.
one master track holds your harmony. every instrument in your session listens. change a chord — every track updates in the same audio buffer. change the key — the whole arrangement transposes. you write the music, cymfonic handles the harmonic plumbing.
the workflow
you write a progression in a chord plugin. you bounce it to midi. you drag it into your daw. you copy it across four tracks. you change a chord — and now you re-bounce, re-drag, re-paste. four times.
harmonyengine lives in your daw. one master track holds your chord progression. every other instrument listens. change a chord on the master, and every track updates in the same audio buffer. change the key, and the entire arrangement transposes. you never bounce, never paste, never leave your session.
the family
the daw-native chord progression plugin. roman numerals on one master track, every instrument in your session listening, every change cascading in real time.

try degrees free →why harmony first
change the key and the pitches shift — but the emotional shape stays identical. roman numerals describe that shape. not because they're academic — because they're the most honest way to describe what harmony actually is. it's why every cymfonic tool speaks the same harmonic language.
music theory crash course
not as much as you'd think.
harmonyengine handles the mechanical side of harmony — voicings, transpositions, chord-to-scale mappings, voice leading — so you can focus on the music. a basic understanding helps: if you know that a song has chords, and that chords belong to a key, you have the foundation. everything else, the plugin does for you.
if you're new to all this, the crash course is a two-minute interactive explainer covering roman numerals — the one bit of music theory worth knowing. learn chords in one key, and harmonyengine handles every other key for you.
