It would be great if Bitwig added a chord recognition like Logic or Studio One have.
Could be a device so that it works on the current track, or maybe display it somewhere else when considering all the tracks where the playhead is.
Studio One for example has a chord track that tells you all the chords in a track. It even analyzes audio tracks.
Logic displays the MIDI chord being played in the transport:
What problem(s) would this feature resolve?
It would help with music composition.
How does this feature fit in Bitwig as a product?
It would make Bitwig more attractive for musicians or people interested in music (vs people interested in sound design).
Is there already an alternative way to achieve this on Bitwig?
Not AFAIK.
Could it be implemented using Bitwig components or APIs, without Bitwig team’s support?
Not AFAIK.
Could it be provided by a VST or something else reasonably integrated with Bitwig?
Not AFAIK.
Are there other products that offer this feature?
Yes, see the images I posted above.
