Piano Backing Band – ChartKeys

Jam on piano with a backing band that follows your chord chart. Explore ideas, practice improvisation, or just enjoy playing — then discover patterns in your playing over time.

Start free with 20 demo loops, drums, bass, and keys/guitar accompaniment. Play with the onscreen keyboard or connect a MIDI keyboard, wired or over Bluetooth.

ChartKeys is for players who know basic chords and want room to explore. Follow your curiosity, with no study plan, tests, or scores.

The free version includes all 20 demo loops, backing playback in all styles, tempo and mixer controls, key change (transposition), and full playing statistics, with no time limit. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks chart import, export, and chord editing.
