AI Chord Progressions for Future Bass – Ableton Live Assistant
Future Bass chord progressions live in the space between melancholic and euphoric — stacked sus2 and sus4 triads, major 7th extensions, and wide voicings that fill the stereo field when sent to Wavetable or Serum. Building these by hand in Ableton means layering MIDI clips across octaves, testing inversions, and dialing in velocity curves to avoid mud in the 200-400 Hz range. At 140-160 BPM with halftime drums, your chords need to breathe around the snare and lock to the sidechain envelope. VIXSOUND generates Future Bass chord progressions as editable MIDI clips directly inside Ableton Live.
How do producers make Future Bass chord progressions in Ableton manually?
You describe the key, mood, and harmonic color — G major with sus4 tension, or Eb major with bright 9th extensions — and VIXSOUND writes the progression, voices it across two or three octaves, and drops it onto a MIDI track. The output loads into Wavetable, Operator, or any third-party synth you choose. Every note is yours to shift, every velocity editable, every voicing adjustable. You can transpose the root, add passing chords, or copy the progression to a second track for a detuned supersaw layer.
How does VIXSOUND generate Future Bass chord progressions?
No royalties, no attribution, no cloud rendering. The MIDI is standard Ableton format, so you can freeze, flatten, or resample without restriction. VIXSOUND runs locally on macOS 12 or later with Ableton Live 11 or newer.

How VIXSOUND generates Future Bass chord progressions
Setup
Open VIXSOUND inside Ableton Live and type your chord request in the chat panel. Specify the key, BPM, and harmonic character — for example, a four-bar progression in D major at 150 BPM with sus2 color and a bVII borrowed chord. VIXSOUND generates the MIDI progression and places it on a new or selected MIDI track. The chords are voiced across two to three octaves to match the wide stereo spread typical of Future Bass supersaws.
What VIXSOUND generates
Load Wavetable with a saw or square wave, enable Unison with 8 voices and slight detune, then route the output through a Compressor with sidechain from your kick. Adjust the MIDI clip velocity to shape the envelope attack — lower velocities for softer, swelling chords, higher for punchy stabs. If you want harmonic movement, ask VIXSOUND to add passing diminished or augmented chords between the main changes. You can also request inversions to keep the top note static while the bass moves, creating smoother voice leading.
Edit and arrange
Once the MIDI is in the clip, duplicate the track, pitch one copy down 12 semitones, and blend with the original for a thicker, Illenium-style chord stack. All edits happen in the standard Ableton MIDI editor.
