I was surprised that Cubase doesn't have this function while Studio One has it! I know that Logic has it, but who else?

It is a very useful function and strangely I only find S1 has it on Windows.

This is for already recorded chords. What I mean is showing the chords you are playing now.

Cubase does have a chord recognition/display feature, but it's not as intuitive as Studio One. With Cubase, you have to set up a chord track then route that chord track to the current instrument. Then, set them both to record. As you play, you'll see the chords appear in the chord track.

What Cubase needs to do is place a chord display feature right in the top panel where the track color, quantize, CPU monitor tools, etc are located. That'll be really convenient as useful.

I agree. They should make it obvious on one of the main panels (like Logic does).

I demoed BIAB years ago. It's very fast to come with a song actually! At least the structure of the song and the chords. I might look into it

Thanks for reminding me.

Logic shows chord names while you play them on the keyboard

Yes Logic has it. I remember it since version 9.

Is there a plugin that I can insert into Bitwig/Live before the instrument that shows me such a thing?

Sure:
- Simple Chord detection ( https://www.ultimatemidiplugin.com/prod ... 0Detection)
- Scaler 2
- Piz Midi Chord Analyzer

for instance...

Thank you

The first one is simple and does the job. Although I need to insert it in instruments rack, but that's ok because it is very light weight. I already have Scaler 2 which I intend to put it in its own track as a guide, but Simple Chord is light and small.

chord track uses the monitored track by default so it's working

without any additional routings too (oops big picture

so with enabled MIDI input)

Yes you are right! It is working just by adding a chord track. Thank you

Which DAWs/Hosts show chord name while playing?
