Chord Anaylizer Midi Plug in is all messed up CWBRN-29995

Can one of the forum hosts move this to Problem Reports. Maybe I should have posted there.

Hi Scoot, I have not used this in ages either, but a quick glance and what you are showing seems like it has a look-ahead feature to it. It shows accurately the next bar as if it is intending to have the transport running while using it. In the few times I have used it, the transport was running, and I never noticed it like this (it seems accurate that way because it updates the chord as the transport gets to the MIDI ON events).
 
However, I have no idea how this is scripted, so hopefully a baker can chime in for you.

If it is using a look ahead function as seems to be a pattern, then looking a whole bar ahead in plain wrong, especially with something that is analyzing a chrord, as this will typically be used in a working out a chord sequence, which would be required for looking at the bar you are working in. sometimes it triggered the second bar on hitting play. You set a number of ticks  that a chord should be held for, indicating how responsive it should be. Surely it's more capable than this. You're going to get bars with 2 or more chords in them, sometimes, just for a beat
 
Cheers scook, for noting that the playback buffers may need changing, but I think I shouldn't need to for a Midi plug in that has been with Sonar pre X range. This shouldn't be a system hog. but fast and reactive
 
This is a basic tool, and I its not really usable in it's current state.
 
I don't want our midi tools forgotten and overlooked. At one point it was all about midi, this should be bread and butter stuff.
 
What's the procedure on getting an official in.

I much prefer that guitar plugin for this stuff. It's a soft synth called AAS Strum Acoustics. The biggest drawback is that when you stop playback, it hides the last chord. I find this tool works much better for calling out changes.

midiChordAnalyzer is my go to because...
The font size is larger,
It works well
and it's free
You can find it at KVR... http://www.kvraudio.com/product/midichordanalyzer-by-insert-piz-here

Thanks Bent, I do like the fact that the cakewalk option is a Midi plug, rather than a VST......
I didn't need to create a track and play with routing to use it.

 
Your welcome Scoot 
It's no big deal really... I insert it in a folder then use the track manager to hide it from view. It just sits in the MultiDock. Routing wise I just set MIDI input to OMNI and SYNTH output to none.
 
The big plus for me is the font size, I can read the chord text easy. With Cakes MIDI Plug font being so small I need to book the “Hubble Space Telescope “ to use it, this was not cost effective and it took up too much room in my studio.
 
And yes! “MidiChords plug“ is a good tool and lots of fun once you get your head around it
