I took the chords from Boards of Canada songs and put them into Xfer Records Cthulhu. From Cthulhu, you can make variations, add low notes, and change to major/minor/suspended. This gives a lot of inspiring chord progressions from some of my favorite Boards of Canada songs. I put them into a zip file of chord presets that you can use in Cthulhu for yourself (see below).

This time the concept behind this pack was to create a deep but still easy to use and high-quality tool for creating hot chord progressions from records we hear on the radio. We analyzed The Hot 100 Billboard charts and chose the most interesting and fresh sounding chord progressions used by superstar producers. Melody notes were added to the chords in some presets.

Pair this Cthulhu presets with your favorite synth and you will get a ton of inspiration in a few seconds! This xFer Cthulhu Presets pack are deep like never before, but all chords are in the same ballpark, so they can be mixed and rearranged in many ways.

first find library folder (mine appears when I click the Hard disk icon on my desktop - Mac), then under that folder you have Audio folder then plug-ins folder then VST folder. Under the VST folder you will find a chtulhu presets folder (it should be already there after installation complete).

I'm late to the party. Thanks again for doing, otherwise I had found the chord generator pretty pointless and useless if you couldn't play chords in key!! This is very helpful. I think someone else had already asked this, but looking at your instructions below, how do you just access the triads for example? All the chords are constructed with 5 notes. I couldn't find any other "secret" way to initiate that order/feature. Thank you. :)

The chords of each scale/key are ordered in Cthulu as follows:
Triads
Sevenths
Secondary Dominants
Other Chords
Suspended Chords

Hi, for everyone that's asking how to "enable" triads, after you have loaded a bank/pack, DON'T PRESS anything and in slots 1 and 5 click the little lock icon so that the first and 5th note will be not played, there you go, you have the triads, thx for the pack! Nice organized!
