Chord
Chord is a music‑focused AI assistant that identifies chords, tracks beats, separates instrument stems, converts audio to MIDI, and extracts lyrics.
About this tool
Chord offers a suite of audio‑processing functions that turn raw recordings into structured musical data. By feeding an audio file, users can receive a list of detected chords, a rhythmic beat map, separated instrument tracks, a MIDI representation, or extracted lyric text, depending on the selected operation.
The tool is built for a range of users, from professional musicians needing fast chord transcriptions to teachers illustrating music theory concepts, and casual listeners curious about the inner structure of their favorite songs.
What you can do
Chord Identification
Analyzes an audio input and returns the sequence of chords present, allowing users to see harmonic progressions without manual transcription.
Beat Tracking
Processes a song to generate a rhythm map, indicating tempo changes and beat positions that can guide practice or remixing.
Instrument Separation
Splits a mixed audio file into individual instrument stems, giving separate tracks for vocals, drums, bass, and other elements.
Who is it for?
- A guitarist uploads a recording of a jam session to instantly receive chord charts for practice and performance preparation.
- A music teacher uses the beat‑tracking output to demonstrate tempo variations in classical pieces during a lesson.
- A producer isolates the drum track from a song to create a new remix while preserving the original vocal and melodic elements.
Before you choose
The accuracy of chord and beat detection may vary with audio quality, genre complexity, or overlapping instruments.
Integration with external MIDI hardware or DAW software depends on the user’s setup and may require additional configuration.
Frequently asked questions
Can Chord handle live audio streams or only pre‑recorded files?
Chord processes audio files that are supplied as input; it does not currently accept real‑time streaming audio. Users need to upload a recorded segment before the analysis functions can be applied.
What formats are accepted for the audio‑to‑MIDI conversion?
The conversion feature works with common audio file types such as WAV and MP3. After processing, the output is provided as a standard MIDI file that can be imported into most digital audio workstations.
Is the lyric detection capable of handling multiple languages?
The lyric detection function extracts text from songs where the language is supported by the underlying model. While it works well for English tracks, performance on other languages may be less reliable and should be tested case by case.
