Chordwatch is a useful little app from Moonstop Software Ltd (which is UK-based). The app can help pupils, teachers and perhaps up-and-coming producers to identify and understand what chords they are playing on a MIDI keyboard or with a mouse. It can develop a better understanding of harmonic structure, and it sits neatly in the corner of your device screen, making it usable with Digital Audio Workstations and as a point of reference while composing or editing.
Picture the scene: you are experimenting on your MIDI keyboard, finding new sounds and colours, but you might not quite know how to ‘spell’ the chord you have found or where to move to next; Chordwatch will name the chord for you, and you start to understand where that fits in the key that you are playing in.
