CadenceCanvas methodology
How CadenceCanvas builds each progression
CadenceCanvas uses a small library of familiar section-first harmonic templates. The app does not try to replace deep composition software; it narrows the choice space to progressions that already behave like usable verse, pre-chorus, chorus, or bridge foundations.
Inputs that shape the result
- Section chooses the structural job of the loop.
- Mood nudges the roman numeral family toward warmth, lift, tension, or wistfulness.
- Mode and key translate the numerals into real chord names.
- Motion changes how strongly the loop pushes or breathes.
- Detail adds cleaner color language and arrangement cues without changing the playable core.
What the output means
The roman map is the structural spine. The chord ladder shows the playable names in the selected key. The topline lane and arrangement cues are writing prompts meant to reduce hesitation, not fixed rules.
