# chord-detection

This repository is an MIT-licensed collection of multipitch/polyphonic instrument chord and key detection methods, implemented from academic papers using Python.

## Usage

Pip install it from the git url: 

```

$ pip install git+https://github.com/sevagh/chord-detection.git

```

This installs the library `chord_detection` and the command-line tool `chord-detect`:

```

$ chord-detect

usage: chord-detection [-h] [--key] [--displayplots DISPLAYPLOTS] [--method METHOD] input_path

chord-detection: error: the following arguments are required: input_path

```

Run tests:

```

$ python ./tests/gen_test_clips.py

$ python -m unittest

```

## Methods

The results displayed come from a wav clip of a piano C major chord. The outputs are the summed chromagrams across all the frames, normalized to 9 (the biggest single-digit number), in a 12-digit chroma vector string.

The expected notes of a C major chord are C E G, so the expected answer should resemble `C000E00G0000`, where `C > E, C > G`. The values of C, E, G are specific to the method being used, but it's some representation of the energy of the detected pitch, e.g. spectral energy, summed FFT.
