Notography โ€” Live Music Notation & Precision Tuner Tune to the cent. Notate every phrase you play. Train the intonation that separates good musicians from great ones. Notography is built for everyone who cares about pitch โ€” from brass players drilling partials, to singers working a tricky interval, to violinists hunting open-string resonance. A serious chromatic tuner, a real-time notation engine, and a configurable metronome in one focused, beautiful app. Whatever you play or sing, Notography gives you the visual feedback that turns guesswork into muscle memory. PRECISION TUNER See your pitch deviation in cents in real time on a clean, high-contrast display. Adjust your reference frequency anywhere from 415 Hz (Baroque ensembles) to 444 Hz (modern European orchestras) โ€” 415, 432, 438, 440, 441, 442, 443, 444 Hz. Sharps and flats are color-coded so you can spot tendency at a glance. LIVE NOTATION โ€” PLAY IT, SEE IT Sing or play, and watch your phrase appear on a real musical stave the moment you produce it. Treble clef, bass clef, grand staff, or auto-detect. Choose your time signature and minimum note value. No recording, no transcription guessing โ€” your performance is written down automatically as it leaves your instrument or your throat. TEMPO MODE โ€” METRONOME WITH NOTATION Configurable time signatures (4/4, 3/4, 6/8, and more). Pair the metronome with live notation to verify pitch AND rhythmic placement in a single pass. FREE MODE โ€” A PRACTICE-ROOM SCRATCHPAD No click, no constraints. Play, capture, review. For warm-ups, improvisation, or sketching melodic ideas the moment they arrive. BUILT FOR EVERY MUSICIAN BRASS & WOODWIND PLAYERS Hold a note and watch the cents deviation; train your embouchure, air column, slide, or finger adjustments to settle pitch dead-center on demand: โ€ข sharp 5th partial on trumpet โ€ข flat top register on flute and piccolo โ€ข throat-tone Bb area on clarinet โ€ข flexible-pitch tuba and trombone partials โ€ข voicing on saxophone overtones โ€ข reed-pitch tendencies on oboe, bassoon, English horn SINGERS & VOCALISTS Sing a scale, an arpeggio, or a phrase from your part โ€” and see it land on the stave in real time. Spot the intervals where your pitch drifts, train your ear with instant visual feedback, and build rock-solid intonation. Perfect for choral work, lead vocals, classical study, and sight-singing practice. STRING PLAYERS Violinists, violists, cellists, and double bassists: dial in open strings, then drill fingered intonation in any key. Watch every note render on the stave so you can correct slides, vibrato center, and double-stop tuning before they become habits. GUITARISTS & KEYBOARD PLAYERS Verify your piano's tuning, check your guitar or bass against a reference Hz, or capture an improvised melody as readable notation. Clef and time-signature options fit any fretted or keyboard workflow. MUSIC TEACHERS & STUDENTS Give students instant visual feedback โ€” they'll hear AND see whether they're in tune and in time. A clean stave display makes Notography a powerful teaching tool from day one. COMPOSERS & IMPROVISERS Capture an idea the moment it lands. Hum, sing, or play it; Notography writes it down so you don't lose it to the next thought. DESIGNED FOR REAL PRACTICE โ€ข 8 reference Hz options from 415 to 444 โ€ข Treble, bass, grand staff, or auto-detect โ€ข User-selectable time signatures โ€ข Color-coded sharps and flats โ€” your colors, your way โ€ข Pitch-deviation arrows and voice line for visual intonation feedback โ€ข Multilingual interface โ€ข Works offline โ€” no account, no ads, no tracking Whether you're warming up before a gig, drilling long tones, hunting a clean unison in your section, or capturing an idea before it slips away, Notography gives you the visual and aural feedback to play and sing in tune, in time, and with intention.

Sing into your phone and hear yourself in tune, instantly. Singium is a live auto-tune microphone. Plug in or connect a speaker, hit the mic, and your voice comes back polished in real time โ€” no studio, no plugins, no experience needed. Every take you like, you can record, dress up, and share. ONE TAP TO A GREAT SOUND Start with a hero preset and you're done: Natural, Hard Tune, Rap, Angel, Adlib, Vocoder, Choir, or Robot. Or turn on AI Mode and Singium listens to your voice, works out the key you're singing in, and tunes to it automatically. REAL-TIME TUNING THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU - Pick any key and scale, or let AI Mode find it - Retune speed from natural correction to hard, locked-on tuning - Dry/wet mix so you decide how much is you and how much is the effect - Formant correction keeps your voice sounding human instead of chipmunked HARMONIES AND CHOIRS Add a third, a full triad, or stack a choir behind your lead. Every voice follows the key you're singing in. VOICE AND CHARACTER - Character presets: Clean, Phone, Megaphone, Old Radio, Lo-Fi, Bright - Voice shapes: Robot, Monster, Chipmunk, Giant, Kid, Alien - Vocoder and talkbox tones - Studio polish, saturation, air and growl to finish the sound - Formant slider to shift your voice deeper or brighter RECORD, THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND Every take is saved to your library. Play them back, rename them, share them โ€” and because Singium keeps a clean copy of your voice, you can go back and change the effects on a recording you already made. Try a different key, a different character, a whole different sound, and save it as a new take. STUDIO Lay a take over a beat you import, trim and place both tracks, balance them, and export the mix. AI Suggested Mix & Master sets the levels for you in one tap. MADE FOR SHARING Export a vertical video with a live visualizer, ready to post. Share audio as .m4a. Send your exact sound to a friend as a sound pack and they can sing through the same setup. TOOLS FOR SINGERS - Pitch ribbon showing your notes as you sing - Take scoring, so you can see how close you landed - Range finder to work out your vocal range and voice type - Hum a melody and export it as MIDI - Loop pedal, sing-over-a-beat with count-in and metronome, and take comping Singium is free. A note on sound: for live monitoring, a wired speaker or headphones will always beat Bluetooth. Bluetooth adds delay that no app can remove.
