Chord Analyzer Software

May 21, 2015 The software takes midi input (e g from a midi keyboard) and prints on the screen what chord you are currently playing. The idea is to write the chords not the perfect logical way, but the way a musician would write it.

Jan 30, 2013 A piano chord database and analyzer. Play and the app shows what chord you are playing (including inversions of alternate chords). Choose chords from the database and let the app play and show them for you. Ad supported version, with in app purchase to remove ads. Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro is the only music theory and play-along app with chord-scales, reharmonization, 12-key workouts & harmonic analysis. Available on the AppStore and Mac AppStore. Made for musicians by musicians. Determining the tonal centers of a chord progression is a fundamental step when preparing for improvisation on those chords. If this process is still difficult for you, use the analyzer tool with different chord progressions, observe the relationship between chords, parent scales and tonal centers, and you will soon learn to do it by yourself. From guitar chord finders to interactive chord namers and transposers (key changers), the web is full of freely available software that can help you learn more chords and better understand your chord playing. Here's my run down of the best guitar chord software I've discovered on the WWW (all free!).

After entering or changing a chord shape in the fretboard, the tone on the lowest string is considered as the root.

With the button inversions and slash chords you can navigate through the list of the different chord interpretations. The corresponding chord symbol shows up above the fretboard and the spots of the chord shape will display the according notes or intervals.

If you choose to interpret a chord as a slash chord, the lowest note is added to the chord symbol after a slash. In return the interval it represents will not show up in the chord symbol anymore*. Example: C^maj7(9)/_D has the 9th in the bass and therefore can be written as C^maj7/_D.

*) If you prefer to write the full length chord symbol in front of the slash on your lead sheet, feel free to do so.
