For people who want to really play
Send an MP3. AI separates the instruments and builds the lesson: chords, lyrics, tab, sheet music and a game that listens to you play. All on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
How it works
Pick a file or drag it into the app, including from iCloud Drive. Videos work too: the app uses only the audio. Untitled files get a title, artist and artwork from the internet.
It separates vocals, guitar, bass, keys, drums and everything else; finds the key, tempo and chords; writes out the notes for every instrument and recognizes brass, winds and strings.
Choose your instrument and how you want to learn. Slow it down without changing the pitch, loop the tricky part and play along without your part.
Six ways to learn
Game mode
No tapping the screen: you play your instrument and muzikale listens for the right note and timing. Perfect, Good or Miss, with combos and multipliers. Your instrument drops out of the song so you can play in its place.
Play with feedback Premium
Play along with the recording: the mic listens to you and tells you how each chord change went.
On the free plan, try the first 30 seconds of every song.
Instruments
An AI model running right on your device separates every instrument. Mute whatever you want, listen to just one, or play along without your part.
Brass, winds, strings and organ are detected automatically and get their own melody lesson.
A more careful separation option: each instrument comes out cleaner, with less bleed from the others, in six tracks. The studio model is downloaded once and then runs on your device, offline. It takes a little longer than the standard separation.
The AI behind muzikale
muzikale uses AI models trained by researchers on studio recordings, track by track and note by note, and optimized by us to run on your device. They listen like a musician: they separate every instrument, write down every note and understand the harmony.
A hybrid transformer neural network (HTDemucs) learned from multitrack studio recordings what each instrument sounds like, and pulls it out of the mix: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and everything else.
6 stemsA lightweight neural network (Basic Pitch), trained on recordings of many instruments and voice with aligned notes, writes down every note: pitch, start and length, even when several sound at once.
polyphonicFrom the detected notes, music-theory rules and chroma analysis work out the key and the chords. For drums, onset analysis across frequency bands writes kick, snare and hi-hat.
key, chords and rhythmApple’s sound classifier, trained to recognize more than 300 kinds of sound, tells which instruments are in the song (acoustic or electric guitar, brass, strings…) and locks the modes for the ones that aren’t.
300+ soundsOpen models: Demucs (Meta AI Research, MIT license) and Basic Pitch (Spotify, Apache 2.0 license), optimized with Core ML to run on the device.
Lessons
Ten courses with 50 lessons each, split into three levels and laid out as a path you follow one lesson at a time. Short explanations, mini-games and exercises that listen to you play.
Three levels
Every course is a trail: finish a lesson and the next one unlocks. Earn stars, level up and watch your progress on the map.
The fundamentals: posture, first notes, reading the staff and a steady pulse.
Technique, harmony and rhythm take shape: scales, chords, grooves and richer reading.
Technical studies, fluent reading, speed and expression to play with confidence.
Mini-games
Practice what you just learned by playing, with 3 lives, a combo multiplier, stars and XP.
A note appears on the staff: name it before time runs out.
Press the right key for the note asked.
Find the note on the right string and fret, on guitar, acoustic guitar or bass.
Listen and recognize notes, intervals and chords.
Pick the notes that make up the chord asked.
Tap the pad right on the beat, with the metronome.
Quick questions to lock in the lesson’s theory.
Exercises with your instrument: the app listens through the microphone or MIDI and awards stars.
Based on time-tested methods
The lessons follow the progression of classic methods for each instrument, and every lesson shows the books it draws on under “Based on”.
Lessons inspired by these methods. muzikale is not affiliated with their authors or publishers.
Everything for practice
Studio tools, live feedback while you play and games that turn practice into a habit.
For acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, cavaquinho and ukulele, plus a chromatic mode for any instrument.
Choose the time signature and subdivisions, or tap the tempo on screen and the app finds the speed.
In exercises, the app shows the note it hears and whether you were on time, early or late, in milliseconds. At the end, a tip from the teacher, using on-device intelligence when available.
The app suggests the best fret for the capo, and you can change the key of the song to suit your voice or instrument.
Record yourself playing along with the song and listen back to see where to improve.
Rhythm Run, 3D Drums, 3D Piano and Play Along: your own songs, played on the real instrument.
9 training games with high scores, a weekly challenge and Game Center leaderboards.
Charts of your practice, day streak, achievements, a daily goal and a Home Screen widget.
Features
From 50% to 125% speed, without the song sounding lower or higher.
Mark the start and end of the tricky part; it repeats until you nail it.
On/off, volume and solo for each separated instrument.
Print-ready PDF and multitrack MIDI for MuseScore, Guitar Pro or GarageBand.
Karaoke in every mode, with the current line lighting up word by word.
Analysis and the microphone run on your device. Your audio is never sent to any server.
On every screen
Your iPhone, iPad or Mac runs the lesson. Your watch and TV join the practice.
Practice without taking your hands off the instrument.
The big living-room screen becomes a stage.
We’re building a lesson all around you.
