What is the quickest way to draw advanced chords (e.g., 7ths, 9ths, suspended) into a DAW without a keyboard?

Generate complex chord voicings instantly—no keyboard required

The Challenge

Drawing extended chords (maj7, min7, 9ths, 11ths, sus2, sus4) by hand requires knowing which notes to stack. A Cmaj7 needs C-E-G-B. A Dm9 needs D-F-A-C-E. Getting the voicing right—especially the spacing and octave placement—is difficult without music theory knowledge.

Using a MIDI keyboard helps but isn't always available, and you still need to know what notes to play.

How MidiMind Solves This

MidiMind automatically generates advanced chord voicings based on your description. Ask for "jazzy 7th chords" and it creates proper voicings with maj7, min7, and dominant 7 chords. Request "extended chords with 9ths" and it adds the right extensions.

The AI handles voice leading, spacing, and inversions automatically, giving you professional-sounding chords without needing to know the theory.
