Is there a way to get a chord display with my midi?

Post by colehelvey3 » Thu Apr 08, 2021 5:20 pm

I've just made the switch from Logic to Ableton..... I'm literally blown away and want to slap myself right now for not switching earlier. It's so much better with MIDI and the workflow is sick!

There's only one thing I miss from Logic.. when I played a chord in Logic, it would tell me which chord I was playing (i.e. I'd play a Gmaj7 on my midi keyboard and it'd say Gmaj7 at the bottom) of the screen.

Is there a function or setting or plugin or anything in Ableton that could do the same thing? So when I play a chord it'll tell me which chord I'm playing.

Thanks!

I had the same problem when I switched from Logic.

Go to MIDI Effects and drag MIDI Monitor into the Clip View of your track.

Still wish it was in the Control Bar though.
