Description

Chord Detector is an app that will analyse audio sources and automatically detect the musical chords within it.

With Chord Detector you can learn to play any track in your devices music library or Dropbox folder providing its not DRM encoded.

Chord Detector can also analyse and detect the chords within a YouTube video or a SoundCloud sound.

Chord Detector is aimed at musicians of any ability to help you learn to play many more songs, especially those whose chords aren't readily available on the internet.

Please note that iTunes Match and Apple Music is not supported due to technical constraints.

With our update Chord Detection engine its now much quiker and easier to get most accurate results possible (up to 95% in ideal conditions). Chord Detector can recognise many different chord types including major, minor, augmented, dimimished, diminished7, dominant7 and minorMajor7.

To get started just pick one of the four audio source options:

● iPod Music Library
● Dropbox
● YouTube
● SoundCloud

You can then select any track from your iPod Music Library(†), Dropbox folder, select a YouTube video or a SoundCloud sound. Chord Detector will then analyse the selected music source and within minutes (if not quicker) you will be presented with a view of the detected chords containing within that music source.

You have the option to view the detected chords in two different forms, scrolling and tabular. In both of these views you are able to play the track and the chords will move or be highlighted as the song is playing.

You can now start to view the chords of a track when analysis is still ongoing. Also you can queue up tracks to be processed, so while you are learning to play one song the chords are being generated for your other tracks in the background.

The following controls are available on the chord view screens:-

● Play/Pause - play or pause the track.
● Rewind 30s - rewind the track by 30 seconds.
● Forward 30s - forward the track by 30 seconds.
● Tempo Adj. - slow down the track without affecting the pitch by a variable amount down to 1/4 of its original speed.
● Capo Adj. - transpose the chords according to which fret you want your capo on

Now ukulele, banjo and mandolin chord diagrams are available via an in-app purchase.

† The following audio file formats are supported, MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF. DRM protected content is not supported. Tracks must by sync'd to your device. If you use iTunes Match you must ensure that the track you wish to use in Chord Detector is first downloaded to your device (otherwise you may see a DRM warning)

App not working as described

c3863 on

Does not have YouTube or Soundcloud option for audio upload.

Waisted hours trying to down load an mp3 , I’ve given up and will try a different app

Uglyduckly on

Very disappointed

Helpful & value for money

pw@melbourne on

You still have to use your ears (and you should anyway) but it speeds up the chord detection process. It performs just as well as some of the other chord detection apps that require an ongoing subscription service. And it’s best feature - you can import from YouTube.

Not what I was expecting

stucise on

I was expecting to be able to play a chord on my guitar and for the app to be able to detect what chord I was playing. The only reason I wanted to buy it. Plus the songs from my music library won't load.

Pleas read this .

PLEAS ... try to put an option that allows you to record live and get the chords It will be the best . ( if you put that option , you'll get my 5th star ) Thank you for the awesome app :) .

A little touchy, but easy to fix

Fattiatti on

Very useful little tool to help figure out chords. Not super reliable 100% of the time, but helps to figure it out by yourself, plus great price

Chords are wrong

tommyo93 on

Though some I correct, many of the chords are wrong

I want my 5 bucks back

Scullsy on

Don't release a product that can't do what it says, it's criminal.

Great concept poorly executed

Leethal07 on

Perhaps it just doesn't like old punk music, but this app is not even close to guessing the correct chords. Bit disappointing.

Great app

Richie mclatchie on
