your notebook

the notebook you write music in.

seamless writing, real instruments on playback, clean exports. the whole editor works on its own and the assistant lives inside it for when you want it.

editor first

a notebook,
not a gimmick.

the writing, the playback, the exports is the whole editor, and none of it needs the assistant.

write however you think

put notes down fast, your way

type them, click them onto the staff, or play them in over MIDI.
notes are placed where you mean them, and notei learns how you place notes and keeps your staff clean.

keyboard, mouse, or a MIDI keyboard.

not sure what notes to place? ask your assistant
hum → notation

hum a phrase and see it as notes

stop writing by hand. sing or hum into your mic and notei transcribes pitch and rhythm onto the staff.

works best on one clear voice. a full band recording needs cleanup after transcription.
