How to use it

Select a root and a chord or scale type.
3
Review the notes, formula, and keyboard shape.
4

Pitch classes

The keyboard view focuses on note names within one octave. The same pattern repeats higher and lower.

Enharmonic spelling

Switch between sharps and flats to match the notation used in your song or instrument part.

Chord identification

Exact pitch-class matches can have more than one valid name because inversions and enharmonic spellings share notes.

Practical tips for better results

Listen to a chord together, then arpeggiate it to pick out each note.
Try related modes from the same root to hear how one changed note alters the colour.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Chord & Scale Finder upload my input?

No. The work happens locally in the current browser tab. Closing or refreshing the page clears temporary input unless you save the result yourself.

Can results differ in another browser or device?

They can. Browser engines, display settings, hardware capabilities, and supported file formats may affect the final result.
