Questions
Common questions
Can it recognise inversions?
Yes. C, E, G and E, G, C and G, C, E are all identified as C major, because they contain the same notes.
How many notes does it need?
Three for a triad, four for a seventh chord. Two notes is an interval rather than a chord, so it will say so.
Does it work with a MIDI keyboard?
Yes, if your browser supports Web MIDI. Plug in and play the chord.
