Final Year Research Project: IntelliChordz
Most of the musical learners abolish their musical habit due to time constraints and insufficient resources for learning music. Chords are a major part of learning music. Many music learners are good at playing musical instruments but face many difficulties in finding the correct chords for the songs. Therefore, music learners who are enthusiastic to learn the chords of their favourite songs will have to learn them from music experts (musicians). This project is carried out to find the musical chords according to different beats. There are alternative ways to identify chords such as referring to internet websites and chord books. But the issue is the cost, time consumption and accuracy of the chords. Therefore the proposed system was designed in a more user-friendly manner to help the music learners to build the correct chords as well as to improve their music knowledge with less trouble. It is a prototype that generates the basic need that requires playing a song from any musical instrument. They are the key signature of a song, major scale of a song and the chords of the relevant major. As such, this prototype is developed to give the key signature, major scale and chords when a song is inserted into the system. The proposed software solution IntelliChordz uses digital signal processing as the technology to analyse the waveform of the polyphonic audio signal and identify the key signature of the song. Among the expertise and the music-learners, over 70% satisfaction gain through the evaluation process and research project further opens for extraction of Time-signature and identify rhythm patterns of the audio signal.
