Topic: Chords recognition

I think the chord recognition on Pianoteq is too slow.
Is there a way to accelerate this?

I totally agree with you. Toontrack keyboards do it faster and have a more legible presentation of the chords. ChordieApp does it even faster. It would be great if this could be improved in Pianoteq.

In addition, I like how ChordieApp presents the second inversion of C as C/G rather than just C. That's more useful.

Having said that, anyone wanting chord display who hasn't checked out ChordieApp really ought to take a look at it. It is a useful tool for any musician to have.

But still Modartt, please also improve this functionality in Pianoteq!

MIDI-Jar on Github is a pretty nice chord recognizer, if you're after a free option. (Windows and Mac, don't think it does linux)

Re: Chords recognition

Ask and you shall receive - v9.2.5 just released and one of the updates is faster chord recognition!

Kudos to the Pianoteq team for making this happen as quick as the chord recognitions themselves! :-)

Re: Chords recognition

Thanks for addressing this, it’s indeed a bit faster.
However, the attack stays behind.
When I watch the midi events/messages the attack speed is there so why does the chords display (still) stays behind?

And Zedd’s suggestion for displaying chord inversions would be very welcome.
Another nice one, for educational purposes, would be that when a chord is played it stays visible on the display and keys when pressing the sustain pedal.
