What is MelodyCatcher?

MelodyCatcher is a software application designed specifically for musicians, songwriters, and other creative professionals to quickly capture and develop musical ideas.

With an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, MelodyCatcher allows you to record melodies, harmonies, chord progressions, beats, and more using your computer's microphone or by connecting an instrument. It will automatically detect the tempo and key of your recordings.

Once your musical ideas are captured, MelodyCatcher provides useful tools to help you turn them into fully arranged songs. It can generate chord suggestions based on the melody, allowing you to quickly add chord progressions. There is basic sheet music notation to transcribe melodies and harmonies. You can also experiment with tweaking the tempo and pitch of recordings.

An integrated loop function allows you to cycle sections of a recording for jamming over and further ideation. Overdubs are also supported for layering additional parts.

Everything captured in MelodyCatcher is automatically saved and organized into sections and tracks, streamlining arranging. Finished songs can then be exported as MIDI or standard audio files for further production and sharing.

With its focus on quick capture and intuitive workflow, MelodyCatcher removes barriers when inspiration strikes so you can stay focused on creating music without technical hindrances.
