The must-have tool for anyone learning music theory.
Connect your MIDI keyboard; the notes you play light up on the piano below, appear on the grand staff above, and the chord symbol and functional analysis show live. No keyboard? Play the on-screen piano.
Michord is built to make learning and teaching easier — in the classroom and the studio, everything you play becomes readable at a glance.
Connect your keyboard via Web MIDI and use several devices at once. Every note appears on screen instantly, with zero latency.
