KORT analyzes the harmonic content of musical recordings and returns the chords with corresponding time stamps. Basic Mode is a simplified interpretation of the chord detection algorithm, which only recognizes major and minor chords. The more advanced Extended Mode features a larger set of chord types containing three or four pitches.
Analyzed chords can be aligned with beat times from different sources, such as a fixed beat grid. Alternatively, our AUFTAKT beat tracking SDK seamlessly integrates with KORT. KORT is an offline process, meaning it requires the complete audio file as input and also returns the result once the file has been completely analyzed.
New in KORT Version 2
- Improved chord analysis accuracy using Deep Neural Networks
- Detection accuracy improved by upwards of 20%, particularly on more complex chords
- Improvements in accuracy have not affected performance
