A feeling becomes a song

Less setup. More music.

Follow your ear.

  1. 01

    Bring the feeling.

    A line of a lyric. A story. A mood. You don’t need to know the chords yet.

  2. 02

    Hear three directions.

    Listen, compare, and choose your starting point. Your ear gets the final say.

  3. 03

    Play. Shape. Keep.

    Make it your own in Studio and MAX. Save your draft, export MIDI, or record your playback as WAV.

Meet MAX

Same idea.
More feeling.

Play the big piano. Find a rhythm. Add a little space, echo, or movement. Shape the sound without leaving the song.

Arpeggiator

Tap an effect to hear it. Combine a few.

A few good questions

Before you play.

Is Chord Draft really free?

Yes. Creating and using Studio are free, with no account or credit card required. Generation limits keep the app available responsibly.

Do I need to know music theory?

No. Start with words and choose by listening. In Big Piano, chord locking keeps the notes you play within the current chord. Use touch, your computer keyboard, or a supported MIDI device.

Where does my music go?

Saved projects stay in this browser on this device. Download a project backup or export your music before clearing browser data. The idea you submit for AI generation is sent to the generation service; saving a project is local. CAD Guardian does not claim ownership of your creations.

Can I take my music with me?

Export MIDI to keep developing your notes in music software, or record Studio playback to a WAV file you can share. Saved Chord Draft projects stay in the browser where you made them; they do not sync between devices.

For the songs you haven’t written yet.
