Chordify – tune into chords
Chordify is a free online music service – made for and by music enthusiasts – that transforms music from YouTube, Deezer, SoundCloud or your private collection, into chords. The service automatically recognizes chords from the audio signal, and aligns them to the music in a simple and intuitive player. Chordify is a cutting edge service that helps both novice and trained musicians to play the music they want to play, making state-of-the-art music technology available to the public at large. In January 2014, Chordify’s paid service Chordify Premium was launched. As well as all the regular functions, Chordify Premium subscribers have access to chord transposition and playback speed tools, PDF downloads and personal library management, amongst many other features.
Acclaim in 2014
Chordify has received much acclaim in its short existence. In the past year the platform was nominated for the Shell LiveWIRE and Deloitte Rising Star Awards and was a finalist for the Accenture Innovation and the Buma Music Meets Tech Awards at the Eurosonic Conference. Chordify also won the Dutch Pitch Session at the Northside Festival (NY) and received a grant from the Creative Industries Fund NL.

Chordify is an already proven concept with millions of visitors and close to 2 million songs transformed into chords. Recently, Chordify hit 200,000 registered users. Musicians from all over the world -- professional, amateur and everyone in between -- are now frequently using this service.
New features and technology coming soon!
Of course, Chordify’s development continues and soon new and exciting features will be introduced. Chordify is currently testing a new interface that allows users to correct small errors in the automatically extracted chord sequences. This will make the service more accessible and fun for both novice and expert users. Aside from this, Chordify is always working to improve the core technology behind its service. Together with Utrecht University, Chordify is investigating new ways of levering the crowdsourced chord corrections to improve the automatic chord extraction algorithms, which will lead to co-created, permanent improvements to the chord sequences. Finally, Chordify is enhancing its Premium service by adding new features and improved payment options via the Adyen platform. These improvements will make a visit to chordify.net an even more enjoyable experience.
