How It Works
1. Map Your Song in MIDI
Briefly: In your DAW, lay out each song section (verse, chorus, etc.) as a simple, monophonic MIDI track. Think bass lines or basic melodies that outline the harmony.
2. Export MIDI Sections
Export each song section (e.g., Verse 1, Chorus 1) as a separate MIDI file from your music software.
3. Drag, Drop, Done!
Import your MIDI files into ChordChart Buddy. We'll instantly generate clear, easy-to-read chord charts for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
ChordChart Buddy is designed for simple, **monophonic** MIDI files for each song section. This means MIDI files that primarily contain a single line of notes (like a bassline or a simple melody) that clearly define the harmony for each bar. Complex polyphonic MIDI or full piano scores may not be interpreted as intended for chord chart generation.
