MIDI chord recognition device? [solved]

Post by re:dream » Tue Jun 29, 2021 3:13 pm

Is there a simple midi chord recognition device for live yet, maybe via M4L?

The M4L Midi Monitor I have identifies midi notes, not chords

The “built-in” m4l version in Live 11 shows chords too

I don't understand. Here is a screenshot of my built in MIDI monitor. I am pressing three notes. It only displays one.

That's an old version. SInce L10, the built-in version (in the Core Library in L10, in the Midi Fx category in L11) does display chords.

TBH, that's not necessarily your fault... :wink:

I can't find the version that displays chords. The one in the M4L Essentials pack shows a stave but only one note, the one in MIDI Devices is the old version with no stave.

I'm on v11 and all packs are up to date. Can you give us a screenshot of the new version showing a chord?

For some reason that link is broken for me. Tried on two devices. Can someone verify it's working for them.

Why isn't this feature included in Ableton Live natively? It should be available right there on the UI. SMH

It is included in Ableton Live, it shows directly in MIDI Effects, together with Scale, Chord, etc...
