Why people buy this

You are not buying features. You are buying the feeling.

A small taste of what's possible with Harmonie Keys.

This melody is a direct wav export straight from the tool.

Hear the individual layers inside it

Each voice has its own shape, color, and job in the arrangement.

Cinema Strings

Cinematic lift without generic soundtrack sludge.

Layer stem

Lonely Strum

Melancholy and contour. Beyond safe chord-tool territory.

Character stem

South Side

Gritty layers with bite. Street-level emotional color.

Grit stem

Velvet Sweep Bass

Low-end that glues the movement together. Bass doing real musical work.

Bass stem
Why this exists

Built by Rick Wade; Detroit deep house producer, 30+ years on wax. A sound shaped by 70s soul, jazz-fusion, late-night FM radio, rare groove, and harmonic restraint.

Every voice comes from actual musical DNA, not stock patches, not preset landfill.

Fast start

From blank screen to WAV export, fast.

Voice → phrase → playback → export. Done.

Watch the quick-start workflow

Just enough structure to reach the feeling without killing momentum.

What happens here

Get it and start punching out grooves immediately.

  • 01
    Select a voice. Start with a sound that already has character.
  • 02
    Build a melody. Mouse, keyboard, or MIDI controller. Live Record mode for playing it in loose.
  • 03
    Play it back. Hear the phrase immediately. Make sure the mood is right.
  • 04
    Export to WAV. Once it hits, punch it out and keep moving.

That is the point: less friction, faster ideas, more keepers.

Proof

FAQ

Kill the hesitation.

Answers to some common questions.

Do I need music theory?

No. Taste, instinct, and a sense of mood matter more than naming every chord extension.

Is this only for deep house?

Deep house is the root, but it fits lo-fi, soulful house, boom bap, jazz-inflected electronica, and soundtrack work.

Do I need a DAW?

Not required. Build inside HK standalone, or export WAV/MIDI to your DAW.

Is this a plugin?

No. It runs in the browser. Less friction, faster access.

Is it a subscription?

No. One payment. Open it, use it, export, done.

Why this instead of another chord tool?

Because this isn’t about chord theory. It’s about harmonic taste, voicing weight, and emotional direction — the part generic tools miss.

Final call

Stop scrolling presets.
Start playing.
