Live Note Detection

An online chord detector that keeps the next musical move in view.

Play one clear note or isolated chord into your microphone and P.A.C.E. estimates what it hears. Stringed-instrument profiles can show likely TAB positions and voicings, while other instruments and voice can use Staff-based possibilities.

Built for Real Practice

One feature becomes more useful when the rest of the practice room stays connected.

Live note and chord estimates

The display follows detected pitch classes and uses them to estimate a note name, octave, or likely chord instead of waiting for a recording upload.

Instrument and tuning aware

P.A.C.E. reads the current instrument and tuning context so suggested positions fit the profile you are actually using.

Playable voicing possibilities

For supported stringed instruments, likely chord matches can include multiple practical fretboard voicings rather than only displaying a chord label.

Next-chord exploration

Lock a detected chord, explore two common next-chord directions, and open possible voicings for the option you want to try.

How It Works

Hear it, inspect it, then decide where to take it.

Note Detection is built for a clean, isolated musical sound. It works best when the microphone can hear the instrument clearly without a full mix behind it.

Step 1

Select the right profile

Choose the instrument and current tuning so the visual possibilities match the musical setup.

Step 2

Start the live detector

Allow microphone access, then wait for the workspace to show that detection is ready.

Step 3

Play one clear sound

Let a note or chord ring long enough for the detector to collect stable pitch information.

Step 4

Compare the possibilities

Use the likely label, TAB or Staff positions, and voicing cards as musical leads—not as unquestionable proof.

The Useful Details

Useful possibilities without pretending the microphone saw your hands.

Two fretboard locations can produce the same pitch, and many chords share notes. P.A.C.E. keeps alternate positions and voicings visible because audio alone cannot always identify one exact fingering.

See a prominent detected note or likely chord while playing.
Switch between TAB and Staff where the current instrument supports both views.
Inspect three possible chord voicings and move between a locked chord and next-chord options.
Ask P.A.C.E. Coach to open Note Detection, then pause while you use the live feed.

Note and chord names are estimates, not guarantees. Noise, effects, distortion, overtones, incomplete chord voicings, and simultaneous instruments can change the result. Note Detection is not a buzz diagnosis; Sound Check is the focused workspace for sound-quality troubleshooting.
