Listening… hum or sing your melody.
Play it back: the melody should follow your voice. If the key sounds off, try the other two.
Turn it into a beat:
How it works
- Hum, sing or drop it inPress "Hum or sing now" and hum it, sing it, or "da da da" it. Or drop in an acapella or a voice note you already have.
- Hear it backYour melody plays back with your voice, so you hear every note line up. Its key and tempo are found for you, with two more keys to try in one tap, and Clean up tidies it the way you'd write it down.
- Take the MIDIDownload it on your tempo grid and drag it into any DAW. Put it on a lead, a pluck, strings or a choir, or build a full beat around it.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Turning your humming, singing or a vocal into MIDI is free, with no sign-up and no limit. You only need an account to build a beat or a loop around it, and new accounts get 20 free credits for that.
Can I just hum?
Yes. Humming, singing, "da da da" or "la la la" all work. Words aren't needed: it follows the notes of your voice, not what you say.
What should I record?
One voice on its own: a hum, a sung melody, an acapella or a voice note. A quiet room helps. With a beat or other instruments playing behind the voice, the melody is much harder to follow.
Is my voice uploaded?
No. It's read right here in your browser and never leaves your device. Nothing is stored.
How close are the notes?
It follows your notes closely, the way a musician writing them down would. Where your voice slides between two notes it picks the nearest one, and Clean up tidies the rest. Play it back with your voice to check, and switch the key with one tap if it sounds off.
Does it work for rap?
Sung hooks and melodies work best. Rap that's mostly spoken has few clear notes, so you'll get more of a rhythm than a melody.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser, and you can hum straight into your phone's mic, wherever the idea hits: an Afrobeats hook in the car, a gospel run in the shower, an R&B topline on the way to the studio.
Which DAWs does the MIDI work in?
All of them. It's a standard MIDI file on your tempo grid: drag it into FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper or any other DAW.
How do I build a beat around my melody?
Press Build a full beat around it under your notes: MIDI Genie opens with the highlighted part attached and writes drums, bass and chords around it as MIDI. The step-by-step guide to making a MIDI beat for your vocals walks through it, and the guide to loops that fit your vocal covers audio loops.
What else is free?
The Key & BPM finder for the tempo and key of any song, and the Chord finder for its chords.
