Drum2Notes: Transcribe Drum Recordings to Sheet Music » Transcribe drum recordings to sheet music » View the transcribed music as drum notation » Playback the music recognition and listen to the result » Download sheet as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML » Share your drum sheet with your friends HOW DOES IT WORK? Once your drum recording is uploaded, our artificial intelligence powered music recognition processes it to generate a score based on what it hears. When the sheet music is finished, you get three outputs - a MIDI file, a PDF engraved sheet music, and a MusicXML digital sheet. MusicXML export is compatible with MuseScore and Sibelius. The MIDI format is compatible with Ableton Live, GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Cubase, and FL Studio. It has never been easier to convert drum pieces to sheet music! 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 sheet music results! As the name suggests, Drum2Notes will work only with drum recordings. » Live music recognition: This app is not able to show you live music 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 music recognition and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal, it will give you useful suggestions! REQUIREMENTS » Internet: active internet connection for server connectivity » iOS: version 11.0 and up » Microphone DESKTOP VERSION » There is a desktop version of this app available, which you can access in your browser: https://drum2notes.klang.io » The desktop version covers even more features like converting sheet music from YouTube, uploading MP3 files, and downloading as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML files. Give your music your personal note! SUMMARY Transcribe drum music from your microphone to sheet music. With Drum2Notes, you can create live recordings of your drum performances. Those are uploaded to your personal songbook and transcribed to sheet music. Music recognition for drums has never been so easy! CONTACT US We're always happy to hear from you. No matter what comes to your mind, we want to hear it.  Would you like another feature?

Metronome Climber is a practice metronome built around one idea: the best way to get a passage up to tempo is to sneak up on it. Set a starting tempo and an interval. Play. When the interval ends you hear a chime, the tempo steps up, and the next interval begins automatically. Start a passage at 80, and twenty minutes later you are playing it at 100 without ever having braced for the jump. THE DIAL The whole app is one control. Drag around the arc to set the tempo from 20 to 320 BPM. The number in the middle is the play button. The inner ring counts down the interval you are in. Nothing else competes for your attention while you are trying to play. INTERVAL CLIMB Choose how long each interval runs, from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and how far the tempo climbs each time, from 1 to 20 BPM. A chime and a short rest mark every step up, so you always know a change is coming. THE CLICK Sample-accurate timing generated natively, so the beat does not drift. Subdivisions for quarters, eighths, triplets and sixteenths. Accent the downbeat with 1 to 12 beats per measure, or turn accents off entirely. BUILT FOR PRACTICING - Plays through the silent switch, so it works with your phone muted - Keeps clicking when you switch apps or the screen sleeps - The screen stays awake while you play - Change any setting mid-session without stopping the click - Space or return toggles playback with a keyboard - Every setting is remembered next time you open it No accounts, no network, no analytics, no ads. It is a metronome.
