'Chord display' VSTi?

I'm looking for a simple vst that will just display whatever the fingered chord being played is. I am using pizMidi's midiScaleChanger to create custom scales, and then transpose them to different keys, and it is really easy to voice most relevant chords for the various scales I create easily using the I, II, II, IV etc. positions starting with C, but I don't have an easy way to be sure exactly what scale I have voiced.
Right now I use one of the Strum guitars which very nicely will display the chord, but it is a bit of overhead to get this functionality. I really wish Studio One had this sort of thing built-in but I guess it wouldn't work after the pizMidi plugin did its thing anyway, just work on the original midi input from the keyboard.
So what I am looking for is this: Something that is resizable would be best, I'd like to have a nice big readout at times and have it be very minimal and out of the way at others. I have a template that always includes midiScaleChanger, and I can select this as the input for any track, so that is set already. I just need a track with the chord-display plugin, pin the plugin window so it is always floating, and set midiScaleChanger as the input for that track.
Anyhow I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance!

I don't have time to read all your text but (if it's audio related) perhaps:

Well, it's not audio, and I don't know if that can do it in real-time, but it could be put as an insert on the track I guess. But my guess is it would be more overhead than a simple midi plugin.Aloysius wrote:I don't have time to read all your text but (if it's audio related) perhaps:

Well so far all my searches on the 'net have all led back to Strum as the best solution so far. Since starting a song 'on guitar' isn't a bad idea anyhow I guess I'll just live with this unless anyone has any ideas. And Strum also is very RAM/CPU friendly anyhow, the biggest issue is it is a lot of GUI just to get the chord chart.

I plan to make something like this, which will be easy since I already did most of the work for the chord recognition in midiChords. Just need some free time...

awesome, I bought one from ddmf, but it simply does not work well.. I'm not sure why Logic is the only daw that offers this str8 out the box, mach five3 also has a script that works perfect tooinsertpizhere wrote:I plan to make something like this, which will be easy since I already did most of the work for the chord recognition in midiChords.

we looked for something like this recently. turns out GARAGE BAND can tell you chords from midi and it is already built into it!
http://www.ujam.com/ might be handy also for this
Also, my Yamaha MM6 shows chords.... when the display works

I think really what he's looking for is a MIDI plug-in, though, and yes, that aspect of the Strum engines is truly excellent. It just instantly tells you every chord, even exotic/compound chords (as I recall from the demo). Something that functions on its own would be great though, since I sometimes have no idea what I'm actually playing when I start getting more and more jazzy.

That's a tuner, he wants a MIDI based chord detector.

It's funny, I also use a Guitar plug-in to detect chords (Spicy Guitar in my case). Great song writing/compositional tool.
Having a small window at the top of the piano roll or similar, that just shows the current chord would be pretty neat but my current solution works fine.

i suppose the OP was looking for something similar to http://www.music-utilities.com/chordfind.php but integrated in the daw and with midi capabilities
