🌠 Why Artists Love It

SpaceWalk doesn’t just generate chords — it composes progressions that breathe.

It’s the missing link between music theory and creative flow, giving you harmonies that evolve naturally while you shape the sound around them.

Whether you’re building an ambient EP or performing live, SpaceWalk helps you stay in the creative zone — where ideas feel effortless.

💜 Support Indie Development

SpaceWalk began as (and still is) a one-person passion project, and every paid download directly funds new features and updates.

To help support its ongoing development, the plugin now has a £10 minimum price.

If you downloaded it earlier for free and you’re enjoying it, you can still show support with a one-off contribution — it genuinely helps keep updates flowing.

As SpaceWalk evolves with new features, the price for new users will rise gradually to reflect its growth.
