A recording of an instrument or a voice, a MIDI file, a tune you sing into your phone, or a photo or PDF of a score. Whatever you bring, you get a score you can play, practise, transpose and download.
Violin, voice, flute, trumpet, sax, cello and other instruments that play one note at a time work today, alone or with a band behind them. Piano and guitar chords (several notes at once) are coming next with a dedicated model.
Every piece plays all parts together or with your part brought forward. You can download one MIDI file for the full song and one for each voice part.
Pick a new key and the whole score moves with it. Choose B♭, E♭ or F instruments and the written notes change while the sound stays the same. Sol-fa stays the same; only the Doh changes.
Printed and clear handwritten sol-fa both work. Anything StaffTonic is unsure of is shown to you on a card with the photo beside it, so you check a handful of notes, not the whole page.
Choose the house style your choir reads, such as subscript octave marks or classic Curwen marks. StaffTonic reads both, and writes the one you choose.
Clean PDFs come out nearly perfect. For photos, recordings and singing, StaffTonic marks the notes it is unsure of so you can check them by ear before anyone plays a wrong note.
Hearing, practising, sharing, files and singing are free. Photos and recordings have a monthly limit because those cost us to read.
Your first piece works straight away, PDF and MIDI included. Sign in only to keep it, share it, or add more.
StaffTonic runs in the browser on iPhone and Android. Add it to your home screen and saved pieces open and play with no signal.
Choose "On staff" and each staff note carries its sol-fa syllable above it, so sol-fa readers and staff readers share one page.
Every score StaffTonic writes carries a small credit line at the foot of the page, so people know where the transcription came from.
