Guitar Monitor by Soundmanufacture is a Max for Live device designed to enhance your experience in Ableton Live by visually displaying scales and chords on a guitar fretboard. This tool allows you to explore basic chords within any selected scale, presenting their shapes clearly on the fretboard for easy reference and practice. It offers an intuitive way to understand the relationship between scales, chords, and their finger positions on the guitar.

The device supports visualization of scales, chords, and custom notes directly on the fretboard, making it easier to learn and experiment with different chord shapes. It monitors incoming MIDI notes and enables you to select notes on the fretboard to see their corresponding positions on a piano keyboard. This feature bridges the gap between guitar and keyboard players, helping musicians expand their harmonic knowledge across instruments.

Guitar Monitor also offers MIDI controller mapping, allowing users to select chords within a chosen scale and switch between various chord shapes seamlessly. This makes it a practical tool for live performances and composition sessions where quick chord changes are necessary. The device requires Ableton Live 10 or higher and Max for Live 8.2 or later, ensuring compatibility with modern music production setups.
