The workflow difference
Moises presents stem separation, chord identification and practice controls such as speed changes. Chordify presents song chords, uploads and practice features, with capabilities depending on the plan. These workflows answer what to play and how to practice, beyond identifying a tonal center and a pulse.
For learning the chord changes or isolating a part to practice, compare the practice tools. For setting the tempo and key context of a production session from a reference, assess the input and send workflow instead.
SESSION™ Key at a glance
- Price
- $49 once
- Requirements
- macOS 14.4 or later on Apple silicon. One license covers up to three Macs.
- Input and setup
- Read system audio, use the microphone, or drop an audio or MIDI file on the menu bar. Live analysis follows the passage playing; a file gives the analyzer a different span of material.
- Working with it
- Optional Beta sends connect the reading to supported DAWs and Auto-Tune. The fields and setup vary by destination. Check the integration guide before purchasing for a particular send.
- Before the session
- The outline marks a locked reading; green and amber communicate confidence separately. A locked reading can still be uncertain. Listen, check the musical context, and use the half-time or double-time control when the pulse needs it.
Before the first session
Check current upload limits, supported formats and paid practice features. Review the provider’s handling of uploaded material before submitting an unreleased song.

Questions before choosing
Is detecting a key the same as transcribing the chords?
No. A key describes a tonal context; a chord chart describes changes through time. A single key label does not supply the chords, voicings or notes of a performance.
When should I choose SESSION™ Key instead?
Choose SESSION™ Key when a reference needs to become a reading beside your open Mac session, followed by a supported project send. Use Moises and Chordify first when you already work in its library or practice environment.
