Voices have a pretty good range, and are a natural way for people to produce music. The technology in autotune could be used to convert voices to various instruments (not just pure tones). After this technical step, the challenge would be to create an intuitive and simple interface for editing. We want to create something that works on smart phones, for convenience and by analogy to the popular autotune app. In short our primary goals are:
- Fast Voice-to-MIDI
- Easy to record a melody whenever you need to
- Uncluttered UI that allows basic editing (cut, copy, move, etc. sections of music)
- Allow note twiddling without learning musical notation (raise/lower, shorten/lengthen a tone)
- Ability to manipulate separate tracks of music (overdub, change instrument, transpose, balance, etc.)
- Convenience
