Canora MIDI Sketchpad

Canora is a musical ideas sketchbook that fits in your pocket. Hum or sing a melody, and Canora converts it into notes—detecting the pitch, key, and tempo. Listen to it instantly, play it back on the keyboard or pads, and never lose an idea again. FREE • Voice-to-notes: hum or sing to capture the melody, key, and BPM. • Grid view for your ideas, with playback. • Two-octave touch keyboard and pads, with built-in sounds. • Scale lock (major and minor): it’s impossible to play a note outside the selected scale. • Metronome with tap tempo. • Chromatic tuner. CANORA PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) • Export your ideas as .mid files and open them in Ableton Live or any other DAW. • USB MIDI output: connect your phone to your computer via cable, and your DAW will recognize it as a keyboard. • One-finger chords on the pads, generated based on the selected scale. • Access to all scales—including Dorian, Mixolydian, and harmonic minor—in any key. • Ideas library: save and revisit all your musical ideas. Available in English and Spanish. Requirements: Android 8.0 or higher. To use the app as a controller, you will need a USB data cable; select "MIDI" in your phone's USB settings.
