You Can Make Beautiful Music

Composing music has never been easier. Just sing or play that tune that’s been in your head all day, and Autoscore will write it down for you.

This revolutionary music software listens to you sing or play an instrument, then records the musical score. What once took two hours at a piano and loss of sanity now only takes the time of the tune for Autoscore to write it down. The notes instantly appear on-screen, ready to be edited, played back, and saved. All a would-be composer needs to make music is a PC and a desire to create.

The program is designed to be user-friendly for even the novice composer. Just released this year, Autoscore represents a step forward in music technology and a more appealing outlook to the beginner. Until now, music software required keyboard skills in order to be used effectively. Autoscore lets those who want to sing or use a saxophone, guitar, or virtually any other instrument quickly and easily score and compose music on the computer without a keyboard.

All of this program’s features are accessible from a menu that Autoscore adds to the menu bar of all applications. With features such as Instrument Filters, Constrain To Key, and Reference Tones, Autoscore is designed to cut missed notes to a minimum and make editing your creations a breeze. With the elimination of an expensive keyboard, it’s now more affordable to get started in computer music. Besides the software, Autoscore includes a microphone and simple-to-use editing program, everything you need to start making beautiful music.

Autoscore works best for instrumental and voice input. It isn’t designed to recognize chords, nor will it recognize music played from a tape or CD since the program only works with single lines of music. However, if you have tapes of a single instrument playing, without chords or excessive noise, it may work.

Autoscore is available directly from Wildcat Canyon Software or its authorized dealers.
