Selfish request here.

I tried Em D Am6 Cadd9 which is a kind of stock alternative rock / indie rock jangly guitar progression. The variations thing suggested some really jazzy chords that didn't preserve the vibe.

Can you have a slider that lets me choose between that strategy and something more like THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU8HQ7O4nTc

i.e. using simple major and minor chords borrowed from "nearby" keys, so it ends up sounding more like a pop or rock song and less like jazz?

Because that's what I'm really interested in!

Side request to have that slider use types of hot peppers as a unit:

Thats a nice suggestion. Thank you! Initially I built the app so as the users could select the style. Later on I thought that might clutter the input and confused the users so I disabled it in the frontend and fixed the style to jazz, funk, and rnb. Will re-enable it soon.
