koZong

koZong is a tiny and easy-to-use program which generates random chords. It is developed to help aspiring musicians and song writers get creative when they run out of ideas.

Thanks to its portability, koZong does not require any installation. It means that the app can be stored on a USB flash drive and run on any computer.

More importantly, the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries (thus, minimizing the risk of system failures), and no leftover files can be found in the hard drive after removing it. You can carry koZong in your pocket whenever you're on the go.

The app is based on a standard interface with a plain layout. You can select the key, verse chords, chorus and bridge chords from a few lists, and enable koZong to generate a random song based on these settings.

Unfortunately, you cannot copy the song by using the start copy function via the context menu, but it is possible to export it to a plain text document for further analysis.

koZong has a good response time and runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory. We have not come across any problems in our tests, since koZong did not hang, crash or display error messages. Unfortunately, it integrates limited features. For example, you cannot listen to the song you have just created. But the tool has not been updated for a long time. Other than that, koZong is easy to handle, thanks to its overall simplicity.
