Re: Software for chord identification

[Leon van Noorden <leonvannoorden@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't understand this question. The tones in a chord changes also with the
change in turntable speed. I think it is much better to study the temporal
aspects of the music. Not all temporal aspects (such as musical phrases
versus trills etc) change in the same way if one plays a piece faster or
slower (I mean in reality, before recording it). From this it must be
possible to find a turntable speed where all the temporal aspects seem to
sound natural. This must then be the original speed.

Is there software for tone deaf people that can analyze a 
segment of digitized sound and report the chord(s)?  The 
specific application is in sound restoration, for recorded
music that was recorded at an unknown speed, and needs
to be "repitched".  This is often the case with older
78 RPM records, where the actual playback speed can range
anywhere from 68 to 90 RPM.
