I cannot tell you how useful this pack has been for me. Just go in the folder and grab whatever midi chord you need and toss it in your clip. There is also a construction kit so you can play the chords in real time to find a groove that works. I like it so much that I am sharing it (again) in hopes that it may help spark those creative juices all while saving valuable time.
props to Subaqueous for taking the time to put this together..

Make some chords. In the last few lessons, you've learned how to organize notes into scales. Now let's look at how to organize notes into chords.A chord is a group of multiple pitches that play at.
Looks like he is asking for a donation (lowest is 1$ I believe) for the pack but I can tell you it is well worth it....props to Subaqueous for taking the time to put this together..

There’s nothing like a killer chord progression - but if you don’t have a music theory background, you might feel a bit lost when it comes to making one. In this post, we’ll look at a few ways to make catchy chords and progressions in Live, including some simple theory education, free Racks to help you, and a look at Push’s scale mode.

Before we get going, let’s pause to enjoy the beauty of a relatively simple and repetitive chord progression, in Derrick May’s classic “Strings of Life”:
Major, Minor, and Dominant - 7th Chords
To start with, let’s look at 7th chords, a critical element in many chord progressions. In the videos below, Dubspot instructor Max Wild reviews making these chords and moving between them:
Major 7th chords.
Minor 7th chords.
Dominant 7th chords.
Rack it Up
If you’re looking for another way to play through some chords, there are a few MIDI Effects Racks available to get you on your way. For a series of tweakable chord progressions for each key, try 8bitBandit’s Holy Scale. AudioBombs’ Deep House Chords rack includes a set of switchable chords best suited to Deep House music. Finally, Certified Trainer Yeuda Ben-Atar aka SideBrain has a set of racks for generating minor and major chords, with control for each harmonic added.
Flip It
Another great technique for getting the most out of chords is to invert them - essentially, take an existing chord that you’ve played, then invert the note order from lowest to highest. For more on the theory behind inverted chords, and to hear some examples, see this article in AskAudio Magazine.
As of Live 9, you can also invert MIDI with the click of a button in a Clip - learn more about MIDI Clip editing tools.
Push the Melody
If you want to get your hands dirty playing chords, try the scale mode on Push. With every key guaranteed to be within your selected scale, you can’t go wrong. But how should you look at the chords you’re making? Here’s a couple of tutorials to answer that:
Christopher Willits looks at “harmonic triangles” with Push.
Cats and Beats demonstrates basic chord progressions with Push.
Hopefully, by now you’ve got some inspiration to make chords of your own. If you’ve got some special chord Racks or sound to share with us, don’t hesitate to get in touch on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ - and don’t forget to use #MadeWithLive and #MadeWithPush.
