1.2

November 9, 2026

Draw a note the transcription missed: tap the pencil, then tap the piano roll. Loop a passage and slow it to ¾ or ½ speed without changing the pitch. Set the key, and Earworm writes it into your MIDI and MusicXML files. Drag the recording mix all the way over to hear your take with the synth silent. Help walks you through all four.

Awesomeness Personified

Great app works better than the rest I’ve tried them all and this one catches the melody the best . I can’t wait for the updates where it can pick up more complex audio like chords and full wav. Stack more than just melodies, pick up the bass line chord’s melody and counter melodies all from one wav. But for now it’s great and worth the price
