Turn your singing voice into printable notes directly in the browser. Tempo 90 BPM Grid Beats per bar Pitch tolerance ±50 ¢ Noise gate 0.003 Click volume 40% Re-attack sensitivity 0.45 decides whether two same-pitch cells are one held note or two repeated notes. It listens for the dip in volume between them: a note splits when the quietest moment at the boundary falls below this fraction of the note's own loudness. Raise it to split more eagerly, drop it to 0 to never split — everything becomes one long tied note.

Sing repeated notes on separate syllables ("ta-ta") and it works; sing them legato on one vowel and nothing in the signal distinguishes them from a held note. Use headphones — otherwise the click bleeds into the mic. The noise gate ignores anything quieter than the threshold; the tolerance rejects pitches further than that from a real semitone, which cuts slides and scoops.

Previous attempts had issues with note detection accuracy, but this version improves splitting logic for cleaner transcription.
