Read full description

Import a song, sing along, and your voice lands on the same notes the original singer hit. MotTune separates the vocal from the backing track, then extracts the original singer's entire pitch curve. All you do is sing. Every slide, scoop and vibrato of the original phrasing stays intact - only your pitch gets corrected. โ–  Decide after you record What gets recorded is your raw voice. Correction happens on playback, so you never have to sing it again: turn one knob to move from full robotic auto-tune to naturally in-tune. Export whatever you settle on. โ–  Fix pitch with your eyes In the vocal editor, the extracted pitch appears as bars across a 12-colour note grid. Long-press and drag to transpose in semitones, cut notes apart with the scissors, or flatten them for a robotic effect. Every edit has multi-level undo. โ–  Mixer and effects Level and pan for the backing track, the original vocal and your own voice, plus fine timing offset. The 10-band equaliser is provided separately for the backing track and for your voice. Doubler, delay, reverb, overdrive, distortion and bit crusher are all built in. Save any setup by name and recall it on another song instantly. โ–  Perform live from your phone The Live list plays the backing track while correcting your microphone in real time, with no added latency. One phone and a pair of earphones is a complete rig for practice, streaming or the stage. The Play list runs your finished takes back to back, fully mixed. โ–  Voice changer Works without a song. Shift formants to change the character of your voice, transpose in semitones, lock to a fixed note for a classic robotic sound, or switch on the vocoder. Recordings can be saved and shared as they are. โ–  Export Bounce the full mix to M4A, WAV, or hi-res WAV (24-bit / 48 kHz). Save to the Files app or share directly. Pitch data can also be exported as MIDI. โ–  About earphones (important) Wired earphones are required. Recording always uses the built-in microphone, even when your earphones have a mic of their own. Bluetooth earphones do work, but they add a large delay while recording that makes singing difficult. Audio interfaces are recognised automatically when connected. โ–  Made for - Making cover songs - Karaoke practice, where you want to see your pitch - Playing with robotic auto-tuned vocals - Live shows and DJ sets that need corrected vocals on the spot Two songs are free. Premium removes the limit - choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase. Requires iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later. Available in 10 languages: English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Portuguese.

About

Pocket Looper

Features
Read full description

The phrase you just played becomes a loop. Pocket Looper is a loop station built for one thing: practising guitar and bass. Tap the big button in the middle to start recording. Tap it again and the phrase loops. Tap once more and you are overdubbing on top of it. That single button is the whole interface. ONE BUTTON FOR EVERYTHING Record, overdub, stop, resume. Every state change happens on the centre button, so you can drive it the way you would stomp a pedal on the floor. You never have to hunt for a small control while your hands are on the instrument. SEE WHAT YOU ARE LAYERING Your loop is drawn as a waveform with a playhead showing exactly where the playback is. You can see which beat you are overdubbing onto, which makes it much easier to come in on time. Undo and redo let you take back a bad take instantly. BE YOUR OWN BACKING BAND Record a chord progression, let it loop, and practise your solo over it. You get accompanied repetition without booking a rehearsal room or waiting for a band. It works just as well for writing riffs and for singer-songwriter practice. BUILT FOR DRILLING (PREMIUM) - Slow practice: drop the speed to 0.5x while keeping the original pitch, so you can take a fast lick apart and rebuild it - A-B section loop: mark A and B on the waveform and repeat only that stretch - Save and recall loops: name a phrase and come back to it tomorrow - Export your recordings to other apps - All in-app ads removed TEN LANGUAGES The interface follows your device language automatically: English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean. WHO IT IS FOR - Guitarists and bassists who drill the same phrase every day - Players who want to build their own backing track and improvise over it - Anyone who would rather just record and layer than learn a large app first Premium is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no expiry. The free tier lets you record and overdub loops of up to 30 seconds. https://tenmais.jp/?lang=en
