SongNote vs Scouter Synth

Songwriting should feel simple. SongNote is a simple songwriting notebook focused on one thing: writing lyrics and placing chords—without sheet music, MIDI keyboards, samplers, or complicated production tools. Write down lyrics as they come to you and place chords directly above the words. Chords stay connected as you edit your lyrics, so you can develop each idea as naturally as writing in a paper notebook. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH SONGNOTE • Write and edit lyrics freely • Place chords above your lyrics • Move or delete chords • Keep chords connected to lyrics as you edit • Organize song titles, BPM, and notes • Add or delete lines • Adjust text size • Choose your Top Page design • Switch between Japanese and English • Use Performance Mode for a clean, readable view • Auto-scroll while playing or singing • Share lyrics and chords as an image PERFECT FOR • Songwriters who want to keep lyrics and chords together • Guitarists and singer-songwriters creating chord sheets • Lyricists, composers, musicians, and band members • Bands sharing ideas for new songs • Anyone who writes music without sheet music or music theory tools • Anyone who wants a simple songwriting app instead of a complex studio SongNote was created to support music made by people—the time spent searching for words, finding chords, and turning an idea into a song. A quiet, simple notebook by your side whenever you write music.

ScouterSynth is a music tracker built like a handheld console. Eight tracks, a D-pad, two buttons, and no menus — every operation is a chord you can play with your thumbs. WRITE Phrases of sixteen rows, chains of phrases, and a song made of chains. Write a bassline once and place it four times with different transposes; change it later and every one of those places changes with it. Phrases can be shorter than sixteen rows, so six-eight is as easy as four-four. SOUND A synth voice per track — saw, pulse with PWM, triangle and sine, through a resonant filter and an envelope — or a sample, played whole or sliced. Wavetables for the sounds a plain oscillator cannot make. Per-tick tables for automation that runs faster than a row. SAMPLE Import from anywhere on your phone, or record straight into a slot from the microphone. MP3, AAC, M4A, AIFF and WAV are all converted on the way in. Whatever you choose is copied into your project, so a saved song carries its audio with it. MIX Ten lanes on one screen — eight tracks and two send buses — with level, pan, mute and solo, and three effect slots on each: filter, bitcrush and a tempo-synced delay. Watch the desk as a set of numbers or as ten live traces. PLAY A performance pad wires any two parameters to an X and a Y axis and moves every track at once. A grid of twelve pads holds six punch-in effects — an octave down, tape slow, a stutter, a bitcrush, a high pass and a low pass — held rather than latched, so nothing can be left on by accident, and six one-shot samples to fire over the top. SEE A radar sweep that reads the mix by frequency, a scope on the output, and six palettes to put it all in. INTEGRATE MIDI in and out with clock. A Bluetooth game controller, mapped button by button to whatever pad you own. Export the whole arrangement to a WAV. Songs, samples and exports all sit in the Files app where you can reach them. No accounts. No subscriptions. No network. The manual is inside the app — press SELECT and B on any screen.
