This script was made by FeedTheCat, to learn more and support him please check out his forum thread!
You just run the script once and a little box in your MIDI editor will appear detecting chords. It works via either hover, select notes or even live MIDI input.
Not only that but it can also drop markers or regions in your project with the chord names! Just right click on it and it will give you a bunch of options. Including a setting to auto-run this script so it always works!
I had no idea it was possible to embed scripts inside the UI but this was a nice surprise~
