Riffer is single note "melody" or "riff" oriented.  This is chord oriented. I will certainly take a look at this one, as I have a large collection of MIDI tools that I depend on to prop up my "creativity"🙄 .  Scaler 2 is top of the heap in this (chord based) category, IMHO.  I have both AudioModern's Riffer and Playbeat, and while I have gotten some great output from them, they are truly random generators, without the ability to apply any  harmonic (other than scale) or meter based rules to kind of reign in the random creation to more musical output (like Captain Suite or Orb Producer, for example).

I asked this Q above .. if you already own RIFFER is Chordjam similar, worth buying too?

Or go nuts - feed the output of Riffer into Chordjam and see what comes out 🤪

It didn't take me long with the demo to sell me, even though I have Scaler and many others.  The YT videos stayed with rather short phrases, but if you drop the sequencer step length to say 1/4 notes, you get an 8 bar phrase (@ 32 steps), etc.  Drop tempo and fiddle with the randomization features to get some nice ambient stuff out of the right synths.  The Euro/USD conversion for the 29e loyalty code was $35.52 (I use a card that charges no foreign transaction fee) , so not much better than the $39 deal from Plugin Boutique.

Didn't get any discount. All I have is Riffer.

Likewise. I will probably go with PB. I also have Scaler and Riffer and other midi stuff but this adds to the toolbox. One of the things I like about ChordJam is the chords change octaves as I play up and down the keyboard. I am not sure I am sold on the sequencer though.
