so if you just download the one in C will it change if you set the scale different on the mpc?

The whole point of the generator is that each .progression is custom fit for a particular purpose... Need something ? Generate another one ! Tweaking and transposing on the MPC is just as possible or impossible as with the onboard default progressions.

To the guy asking about changing keys: seems like this is more a tool for getting custom chord progressions easily into the MPC. Definitely play around with the existing chord progressions mode and if you like it but wish there was more than just preset choices in there to modify, this is the tool for you.

Uses you migjt not have considered is using chords to make your own pad sounds, or for arpeggios. Maybe as you’re initially sketching out an idea on MPC have a chord progression going on a channel you’ll later delete, just to get an idea of notes and sounds that will work well together. Then when you have a melody and bass and stabs etc, take the chord channel out.

Look to existing songs you like for the chords they use and play around with them. You’ll probably find that you like certain kinds and groupings. I’m continually amazed how different the same chord can sound when the key is changed. Jumping an octave with a synth chord makes huge changes sometimes, especially FM.

Yes.

Sorry, realize didn't answer the question before. So if for example if you generate and save EDM chord progression C major in the III-IV-VI_Classic-2 variety, you can still transpose those chords to a different root note on the screen while playing by using the jog dial. They'll sound roughly the same, but higher (or lower).
