Using this app you can find the notes in a recorded or imported piece of music. Simply record audio or import an audio file into the app, select the desired part of the music, and tap the "Find Notes" button. The app will then find all the notes in that part of the music. Now tap the "Play Notes" button to hear the generated notes with piano key sounds. You can also edit the results, modify the notes, and save it. Please note that the app can find the notes perfectly when there is no backing track. Otherwise, it may affect the accuracy of the results. Trying with different parameters for the minimum note duration, or the music tempo may help you achieve better results. Also this app helps you learn and recognise notes by listening to each of the 88-piano notes in a loop. You can also play a virtual piano and learn about different scales.
