CD & MP3 Transcription
AudioScore Ultimate 6 allows you to open a CD track or MP3 file and transcribe it to a score. By using the most intelligent technology available it is possible to convert up to 16 instruments / notes playing at a time into multiple staves, with up to 4 voices per staff.
Immediately after transcribing your music, you are able to send it directly to Sibelius or save MusicXML, NIFF and MIDI files for use in most other music programs. Alternatively, allow AudioScore Ultimate 6 to print out a professional quality score for you.
UltraSound™
AudioScore Ultimate 6 even allows the intricate nuances of a performance to be viewed, played and edited, such as the subtle changes in pitch, volume and timing.
Alternatively, produce new versions of music using MIDI instruments - you choose which ones. AudioScore analyzes the original music in great detail so is able to play back with great realism - open one of your favorite songs and hear it performed by a brass band or string quartet!
What AudioScore Recognizes
- Styles ranging from solo & chamber music to jazz & pop
- A wide range of music performed by non-percussion instruments
- All pitches ranging from F0 to C8
- Notes from chords that even the ear cannot distinguish
- Even works with moderate sustain or reverb
- Transcribes notes and rests as short as 32nd note
- Triplets, duplets, key signatures and clefs
- Pitch and volume changes at a resolution of 0.01 secs
- Instrument audio characteristics for chromatic visualization
Mic-to-Score™ Automatic Notation
Create musical scores by singing or playing into your computer using only a microphone - no prior musical knowledge required!
AudioScore Ultimate 6 gives instant graphical feedback about the pitch of a performance over time, so it is possible to see exactly where mistakes are being made and improve whilst performing. Train to sing and play perfectly in tune and immediately see the improvements on screen. What’s more, unless you really need it, the built-in metronome is not required.
MIDI File-to-Score Converter

VST Plug-in
Now you can input MIDI tracks into VST-compatible programs using your microphone! The VST plug-in uses the same incredible rhythm determination algorithms to ensure notes are aligned musically. (Win XP/Vista only)
Mic-to-MIDI™ Recording Device
Neuratron AudioScore MIDI Input allows you to sing or play directly into a notation editor or sequencer without the need for a MIDI keyboard. Simply choose the Neuratron AudioScore MIDI recording device in Sibelius and hit Record! (Windows XP/Vista 32-bit only)
Quickly Create Scores by Hand - Even if you cannot read or play music!
AudioScore Ultimate 6 offers the novel concept of 'serving' you a set of notes already input which you can then quickly split, join, resize, and adjust the pitch of, purely on a performance level - no worrying about rests and technicalities such as the key signature, accidentals, augmentation dots, beaming, ties etc.
MIDI-to-Score™ Automatic Notation
AudioScore Ultimate 6 also allows a MIDI input device (such as a keyboard) to be used for the creation of musical scores. (Windows version only)
