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) email: feedback@chord-detector.com www: http://www.chord-detector.com twitter: http://twitter.com/chorddetector fb: http://facebook.com/chorddetector}

There are lots of options out there for chord detection but I still find this app the best. The functionality that is most useful: 1. being able to upload any audio file via Dropbox for analysis. 2. the key change option! This is a function I use a lot to train my ear while learning a song if the band wants to do it in a different key from the audio. 3. the user interface. It is so much cleaner and easier to read than other apps like Chordify. I’ve noticed that more recently the YouTube option has stopped working and that perhaps the app developer has lost interest in keeping this app updated. I think that is a real shame as it is a winner.

Too bad developers mess up a good thing! Used to be 5 stars. I had to give it something, a negative five fits better.

It makes me so sad this used to be my goto app wen playing guitar it helped me become the guitar player I am today and it makes me so sad idk wat the frick you guys did but you had an awesome amazing tool I wud gladly pay for it idky you fuct w it but you had something special and it’s unfortunate for all the newer guitar players that won’t have that at their disposal as I was so fortunate to have. It made learning and playing fun, a breeze and enhanced my practice time please please look into yer database have a heart with one’s and zero’s and change it back.

C'est exactement ce que je cherchais : fonctionnement très simple. Le fait d'ecouter la musique en même temps que défilent les tablatures est une aide précieuse.
