Chordpal listens through the Built-in Mic on your device and by analyzing what notes you are playing (on Guitar, Piano etc.) it will tell you what chord you are playing.
This is a revolutionary way of approaching, learning and understanding Chord Theory.
Through experimentation and practice, the world of chords can be unlocked.
With over 65 different chord types offering over 6000 different voicings (and more being continuously added), this is the definitive chord resource for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
Instructions:
----------
Use the built-in chromatic tuner to help tune your instrument if needed.
Adjust the Noise Filter Level until background noise is blocked out
Play a chord one note at a time from low to high
Decrease the Sampling Rate if the results seem erratic (newer devices e.g. iPhone 5 onwards)
Only progress to the next note once the current note has been recognized.
When a chord has been recognized, click "Details" to see relevant information about that chord type.
iPod Touch Users: make sure the head-set/mic is attached to use this app.
Features:
-------
Includes built-in chromatic tuner to tune any type of instrument.
Includes information on each type of chord for example: how to form the chords etc.
Designed and tested for Guitar & Piano/Keyboard (will work for most single-voiced instruments in any tunings).
Latest reviews of Chordpal app for iPhone and iPad
The chord identifier for me was almost useless because the mic picks up background sounds along with the chord you are trying identify. Not good. The "Chromatic Tuner" is useful if you need to compare a note against what its freq should be. I guess you could use this app to help you effectively tune your piano.
Waste of 5 bucks. Good maybe for single string notes but terrible for picking out chords. Please dont buy this app. You will regret it.
I wanted to like this app and was willing to forgive its rudimentary interface if it could do the basic job of recognizing a note. Sadly, this is the flakiest app I have seen and the first purchase I regret. It cannot even recognize a piano note as one note, no matter how the noise threshold is set or how the note is played, or where the mic is placed, under ideal, quiet conditions. Single notes often register as zero or two notes, and when there are two, one of them is seemingly random. The search for a note recognizer continues.
This app simply does not do what it advertises. Misidentifies notes, and when it does identify them correctly it cant name the chord they make. What a flipping waste of money
Waste of 3$
