Hi Neil and Mark,

Just for reference the only other product which I've seen that performs this function is Jammer Pro 4 from Soundtrek which costs $129. Admittedly its prime objective is to compete with BandInABox, but its chord recognition utility works well if (1) all the Chords are in one MIDI track (2) there are no tacit chords (3) all the chord elements are played simultaneously - it won't translate arpeggios. I have not tried V5.

I wrote to them some years ago and suggested that they unbundle the Chord Recognition facility (for a much lower price). I don't believe that they saw a market for it and/or this didn't suit their business objectives.

Jammer Pro 4 has an excellent user interface but while its chord output looks fancy, it is virtually impossible to convert to text for use elsewhere. I much prefer your simple text approach.

I've yet to try your download but will do when I consolidate life after a couple of weeks in the Tropics of Far North Queensland.

Regards, John
