Tonespace is a neat software solution designed to be a music keyboard combined with a chorder, it can function as a VST or AU plugin, processing incoming MIDI events and generating outgoing MIDI. It allows you to play and visualize chords while you move the mouse around in a grid-like space.

It supports over 50 different grids,18 keys, 14 scales and more than 30 chord types with 10 chord voicings. It allows you to learn how musical scales and keys work and how chords relate to these using the simple octave-based spaces. A space is like a two-dimensional spreadsheet which contains midi note numbers.

You can visually discover how chords map onto surprisingly simple geometric shapes in the more advanced spaces. It allows you to use an advanced chord-generation algorithm to generate chords from simple shapes. You can generate all chords that fit a chosen scale or key.

It comes with some audio settings that you can adjust, it lets you set the audio devices, sample rate, audio buffer size and the output channels. It also allows you to make some MIDI settings and provide the active MIDI inputs and outputs. You can also preview the music files you create inside the application.
