Questions What key are these in? All four progressions are in A♭ minor. Every chord is diatonic to that key, apart from the deliberately borrowed flat chords in the darker moods. Can I use these in a song I sell? Yes. Chord progressions are not protected by copyright — only a specific recording or written arrangement is. Nobody owns i–VI–III–VII. How do I get these into my DAW? Open the free generator, pick A♭ and Lo-fi, then export the .mid and drag it onto a track in Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Reaper or Bitwig.
