SpaceWalk — Ambient Chord Progression Generator

Create infinite, evolving harmony for your next ambient or cinematic masterpiece.

⚠️ Note for Reason users:

Reason currently does not support VST plugins that output MIDI, so SpaceWalk can’t route directly into your synths. You can still export MIDI from SpaceWalk and import it into Reason to build your progressions.

🎹 Works Beautifully With

• Vital — lush wavetable atmospheres
• Serum — airy, ethereal pads
• Pigments — deep, evolving textures and cinematic tone shaping
• Any synth that thrives on rich harmony

🌠 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.
