The Freequency has released Bloomer Free, a free MIDI chord progression generator that lets you spin up two- to eight-bar chord progressions from a choice of 35 “vibes” and 7 scales, then drag the result into your DAW as a regular MIDI clip. It runs as a VST3 / AU plugin (Beta) on macOS and Windows and is built around fast sketching rather than deep music-theory editing.
What is Bloomer Free?
Bloomer Free generates chord progressions from a single click. Pick a vibe — there are 35 mood-style presets covering common modern genres — choose one of seven scales and a length between two and eight bars, and the plugin produces a progression you can drop straight onto a DAW track. It’s aimed at sketching, beat-making and idea generation rather than detailed editing, but the MIDI output makes it easy to combine with your own arrangement work.
Key Features
- 35 Vibes (mood / style presets) for instant chord progressions
- Seven scales: Major / Minor / Dorian / Phrygian / Harmonic Minor / Mixolydian / Lydian
- Output length adjustable from 2 to 8 bars
- Drag-and-drop MIDI export to DAW tracks
- VST3 / AU (Beta), macOS and Windows
How to Download
Bloomer Free is distributed via Gumroad — enter $0 in the price field and provide an email to get the download. To play the generated MIDI back in real time rather than just dragging the clip out, route Bloomer Free’s MIDI to an instrument track inside your DAW.
Final Thoughts
Chord-progression generators are a crowded category, but Bloomer Free strikes a useful balance: enough vibe presets to actually get something usable in seconds, and a clean drag-and-drop workflow that doesn’t lock you into the plugin’s own playback. If you regularly hit a blank page when starting a new track, it’s a low-friction way to seed an idea.
