In this video, I review a computer application called “ChordieApp” that detects notes and chords and displays them in a variety of ways including placement on the grand staff. This is a good solution if you are learning chords or you are an instructor and want people to see the exact notes/chords you are playing as you play them.
The app is MIDI compatible and can analyze any MIDI device that is connected to your computer. You can position the windows anywhere on the screen which makes it great for live presentations or to make your own videos. It’s the perfect way to demonstrate your performance especially if your goal is to help guide people with the exact notes/chords you are playing.

Thank you I have been looking so long (10 minutes) for this!
@greeeenchee Glad you found it!
Useful tool! Thanks Mark!!
Thanks for your comment @Jmonk Reltub. The creator of this program is a good guy and works really hard so it's nice to endorse those hard-working entrepreneurs out there with things like this. Cheers! 👍🏻
Finally I found what I was looking for. Thank you!

@@MyKeysToMusic Funny. I’m on the website now via your link. Trying to out if this will work on any tablets. Wish me luck!
@@loslobos9461 Unfortunately, the application doesn't work on a mobile tablet like an iPad, but if you have a tablet running the full Windows OS, then it should work. 👍🏻
@@MyKeysToMusic Alrighty. Thanks!
I use Starbound Composer for that.
@TuxedoMaskMusic I learn something new every day! I like how they let people compose their own music for the game. Seems like it uses General MIDI and it's interesting how the music is written as a text file.
Can i use this with QMIDI & roland sound canvas? I’m using old MacBook with os High Sierra
I was really hoping to see your signal flow, because I'm experimenting right now with several different apps to try to find the one I want to use. For MIDI input i've got an onyx producer 2-2, does this app detect midi in and outs for devices like that, or just USB?
Hello @Curtis Merrill. You should be able to use your Onyx Producer 2-2 for the MIDI or you could just go directly from your keyboard into your computer via USB (assuming your keyboard has a USB out which carries MIDI). The ChordieApp can detect MIDI no matter where it's coming in from (but you do have to select it of course in the preferences of the App). So, to answer your question, yes the ChordiApp program should have no problem recognizing MIDI coming in from your Onyx. Keep in mind, that this app is Mac only. Best of luck!
Is it possible to simultaneously capture audio using Garage Band and record the visual display of notes and chords from the ChordieApp?
Hello @EtherealRis In short, I believe the answer is YES! Thanks for your question. If you want to capture the visual display of notes via the chords from ChordieApp somehow, the assumption is that you would need screen capture software like SnagIt, Screenflow, Camtasia, Quicktime, or many others that do this. GarageBand doesn't record anything "visually", so that would only capture the audio.
However, I think what you are really asking is whether the ChordiApp works simultaneously while recording audio into GarageBand. The answer is YES! The ChordiApp activates independently of any other program. It's "always listening" in the background for incoming MIDI regardless of what you might be doing with GarageBand or Logic (or any other MIDI program) at the time. Think of it as an independent "MIDI Monitor" gauge that will run alongside anything else you have going, and it won't get in the way of anything you do to record MIDI or audio. I do this all the time when making my videos. (I use "Screenflow" to capture the screen, audio, and video for my videos by the way).
Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you responding in detail to my question. This is exactly what I wanted to know. @@MyKeysToMusic
@EtherealRis Fantastic! Best of luck with your recordings, and if you do decide to pick up ChordiApp and haven't already purchased it, please use my affiliate link in the description - you won't pay any additional.
Nice! Is it possible to change the tuning of the guitar strings?
@erik9817 Eric, this is an excellent question. Unfortunately after exploring the settings in the program, there appears to be no way to tune the strings other than the traditional tuning. There is no option for a capo either. There is an experimental feature that allows you to adjust the string and frett count, but that feature seems unrelated to tuning. Hope this info helps!
@@MyKeysToMusic Thanks for the detailed answer! As a guitarist learning (piano) notation, this questions come up. :)
@@erik9817 I get that! You are not alone. There are a LOT of guitarists who are now learning keyboard for greater flexibility in a band scenario.
when I run a VST to give sound to my midi keyboard it does not display anything on the ChordieApp and when I use the chordie app there is no sound. How did you solve this issue?
@raphaelhudson Raphael, which VST/DAW are you running with what OS are you running it on?
I would love to use an app like this on an iPad with my Nord electro 6HP, is that possible? Trying to avoid plugging into the laptop rig
@starduststereo8705 Great question. I don't know of something equivalent to the iPad. I think that GarageBand does in fact display the chord name and the keyboard (but not the staff). You would think that something out there does exist for the iPad by now but I didn't do the research. If you find something, please come back here and let us know about it if you can! You could potentially reach out to the author of the ChordiApp software and ask them as well - I'm sure they get this request all the time.
@@MyKeysToMusic thanks for the quick reply. I have emailed them and hopefully something exists. it would be super useful
@@starduststereo If you find anything, drop a line here if you have time. Thanks!
@@MyKeysToMusic They don't know of any competing apps for iPad but I'll continue to research, probably still nice to have this desktop app in any case
@@starduststereo I find the desktop app handy for sure. It would be nice to have a mobile version for the pad and such as well.
Linux-Version?
Sorry, no Linux version. 😢 Funny you mention this, I was just playing with Linux for the first time yesterday (Ubuntu 20.04) and VirtualBox on Windows (I'm doing a project for work). Interesting OS - great for server-side stuff especially...
@@MyKeysToMusic So i cant buy your Software. Im using 100% Linux for everything. Playing Piano with Pianoteq 8 on Ubuntu 20.04. LTS.
@@tomdroidtube Oh, it’s not my software… I’m just reviewing it. But no, he doesn’t make a Linux version apparently. Sorry!
Try it with Wine.
@@AleijGonz No, the Developer answerd negativ. I wont buy for Testing.
30 bucks? 🤣
@6ev Yes! And worth every penny if you are a teacher or doing videos where you need to demonstrate real-time keyboard action/chords with or without the staff... 😄🎹
i have no money
