Tap The Tone

FOR CHOIR PEOPLE AND EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND MUSIC BETTER – OR YOU'VE GOT A MIDI KEYBOARD WITH NO SOUNDS? NOW YOU'VE GOT THEM ALL!
See notes. Hear voices. Understand music.

Do you sing in a choir and want to practise your part on your own, or simply understand how notes, melodies and harmonies sound? With Tap The Tone you place a note on the staff and hear instantly how it sounds.

With Pro you import MIDI files of your choir pieces and listen to each voice on its own or together, with individual volume and synced note display. That way you practise your part precisely and prepare for the next rehearsal.

Whether in a choir, learning notation, training your ear or experimenting: Tap The Tone makes music visible, audible and interactive.
