The Logic Off Topic list

I not familiar with the specific term "modulating chord."  However, a 
"modulation"  is a key change made within the structure and organization 
of a composition.    In other words, just to change to a new key is not 
a modulation, but to change it an effort to continue the music (take it 
somewhere else) is a modulation.  Pop music is full of modulations.  So 
I suppose a "modulating chord" is a chord at the end of passage (such as 
a verse) that forewarns the listener that a key change (modulation) is 
coming.

This is my best guess!
