Nifty New Invention: New App Turns Melodies Into Musical Notation

ScoreCleaner Notes turns melodies into notation at the touch of a button

  • Researchers at the KTH Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed a smartphone application that converts simple melodies into notation. 
  • The app, which is available now worldwide, provides a simple and effective tool for getting that melody out of your head and into written, shareable form.
  • The most compelling thing about ScoreCleaner Notes is its simplicity. Users can play a melody into their smartphone's microphone and moments later its key, tempo, time signature and the musical notation itself will pop up on the screen. 
  • Users don't need to know how to play an instrument to use the app, and don't even need to know how to read or write music, but can simply hum or sing the melody into the microphone. Once recorded, the melody can be played back as both a MIDI piano sound or the original recording.
