About this app

SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS 🎶

Piano 🎹, Flute 📏, Violin (beta) 🎻, Accoustic Guitar (beta) 🎸
Currently only solo instruments are supported, no bands or orchestras.


FUNCTIONS 🌟🌈☀️️

» Transcribe YouTube song covers, microphone recordings, and audio files to sheet music
» View the transcribed music as classical score, piano roll or guitar tab
» Playback the sheet music and listen to the result
» Download sheet as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML
» Share your compositions with your friends

⚠️ WHAT THIS APP DOESN'T OFFER

» Separation of multiple instruments:
The note recognition can't separate multiple instruments. If you record multiple instruments playing simultaneously you will get bad transcription results!
» Live note recognition:
This app is not able to show you live note recognition results. Instead, it will take some time to perform the frequency analysis and show you the results.
» 100% match percentage:
This app won't detect 100% of the played notes and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal, it will give you useful suggests!


🔑 WHY DO I NEED AN ACCOUNT?

You create an account to ensure that only you can access your created sheet music!
A lot of computing power is necessary to generate the scores from the audio, so it needs to run on a powerful server in the cloud.
Also, you can access your sheets from the desktop version, too, by signing in using the same account.

Amazing idea, but please rework the app. Some notes / rhytms are wrongly recognized, but whaterer, much bigger problem ist that the (1) saving fails, (2) while playing, it is not possible to chose correct starting point, (3) editing could be easier - not possible to add notes. To spend quite a time on editing, to save, and even to receive the green "all saved" message just to realize that everything got lost and you have to start over is very frustrating.

App is not great. It really can't pick out the music if it's got more than a couple things going, so you get an unpleasant mishmash of notes. The reason I give it 2 stars is because at least the chords seem accurate, so if you have a decent ear and a bit of musical skill you can adjust on the fly. But it doesn't really do what it purports to do. Wish there was a free trial so I could have known before wasting the money.

This app is an amazing concept but it fails miserably. I had multiple errors when using YouTube conversion for sheet music for a song I was interested in and I had no luck. Let me save you the time from downloading as it won't do what you want. We will get there with technology to instantly transpose songs but it will not be with this app at this current time.
