vi–IV–I–V in F Major — Chord Progression MIDI

vi–IV–I–V is the moody rotation of the four-chords loop. In F Major it becomes Dm – Bb – F – C. This page presets the progression tool to that key — tweak the tempo, add 7th chords or arpeggios, and download the MIDI for your DAW.

How it works

Pick a key, a scale, and one of the classic progressions, and this tool writes the chords into a MIDI file you can drop straight onto an instrument track in any DAW. Each roman numeral is voiced as a triad built from the scale — enable 7th chords for a jazzier sound, or arpeggiate to spread each chord into eighth notes. Press play preview to hear the progression before downloading. Here the tool arrives preset to vi–IV–I–V in F Major, so the file you download voices Dm – Bb – F – C exactly as shown above.

Popular progressions included

• I – V – vi – IV — the "four chords" behind countless pop hits.
• ii – V – I — the fundamental jazz turnaround.
• The 12-bar blues — the backbone of blues, rock and roll, and early jazz.
• The Andalusian cadence, the 50s doo-wop changes, the J-pop royal road, and more.

Because every progression is spelled from the key you choose, moving vi–IV–I–V out of F Major is one dropdown away — but in F Major itself you get Dm, Bb, F, C, chords that sit comfortably under most vocal ranges and lead instruments.

Progressions are a starting point — if you want full arrangements with melodies, basslines, and drums written around Dm – Bb – F – C, open the MIDI Maker studio and generate a complete track.
