Description
Welcome to MIDI Chord Helper page ! You can play the music easily by clicking chord symbols on this software, and can find out chord diagram
for keyboard, ukulele, and guitar.
The chord buttons are placed by order of the Circle of Fifths,
and four background colors which indicates the feeling (
Pink:Local,
Yellow:Hot,
Blue:Cool,
Green:Remote
) can be shifted by clicking key signature button,
so you can understand key & chord's relationship visually and easily.
MIDI recording/editing/playing, connecting to external MIDI IN/OUT devices
also available with this software.
You can enjoy and learn about music chord progression by watching the shapes
(+, square, circle etc.) appered on the chord buttons.
If you created new MIDI file, please try to play it on this software.
and you can find mismatch between meta-event (key signature, time signature, tempo, lyric etc)
and other event (notes, chords, and its timing, etc).
Note: Some extended chords / added chords (-9/+9/11/13 etc.) are not supported. Supported chords are: X9, Xadd9, X69, XM9 etc.
I implemented this software's chord button as hardware, electronic musical instrument "CAmiDion"
(using Arduino Duemilanove and two YMZ294 sound generator chips),
and I will exhibit this at Make: Tokyo Meeting 06.
"CAmiDion" means:
C and Am chords placed vertically
MIDI I/O available
Arranged like accrdion's chord button
kamide (Auther's name) + "on" (A Kanji pronounciation which mean "sound")
