Chordify, a new web startup using Haskell

Hi all, I'd like to introduce Chordify http://chordify.net/ [1], an online music player that extracts chords from musical sources like Soundcloud, Youtube or your own files, and shows you which chord to play when. Here's an example song: http://chordify.net/chords/passenger-let-her-go-official-video-passengermusi... The aim of Chordify is to make state-of-the-art music technology accessible to a broader audience. Behind the scenes, Chordify uses the HarmTrace Haskell package to compute chords from audio. I've been working on this project with a couple of colleagues for a while now, and recently we have made the website public, free to use for everyone. We do not use Haskell for any of the frontend/user interface, but the backend is entirely written in Haskell (and it uses pretty advanced features, such as GADTs and type families [3]). We're particularly interested in user feedback at this stage, so if you're interested in music and could use an automatic chord transcription service, please try Chordify!

Very cool :)
I tried this one http://chordify.net/chords/jamelia-superstar-emimusic
Not sure if the places it showed E flat - was it really E flat minor?
What next - index all the songs using their "chordification" and then
search them using a "hum" as input :)

Kashyap

That's awesome, works like a charm on the samples I've tried it on! Cheers
to the Chordify team, I will use it and give any useful feedback if I have
any.

Congratulations!
Keep up the good work, especially in using Haskell at a commercial level :)
Bye!

Is it possible to play the generated chords as a melody by itself, without
the original music over it?

Super work! I was meaning to ask something similar -- can we get out something of the music that chordify has reverse engineered -- maybe midi maybe musicxml?

Hi all,
Thanks for all the feedback and kind words. Yes, we're planning to have
export to PDF/midi
options soon. We have plenty of ideas, but limited time :-/
User feedback is collected (and voted for) on
https://chordify.uservoice.com/
Thanks,
Pedro
