Sing, hum or beatbox your ideas straight into MIDI

Never lose a hook

Sing the idea the moment you hear it and keep it as editable notes, not a voice memo.

In tune without trying

Key and scale correction snap every pitch you sing to the notes of your chosen scale.

Drums from your mouth

Beatbox a pattern and get kick, snare and hat notes you can edit in the piano roll.

Songwriters who sing

Captures a melody you sing or hum as in-key MIDI notes, which you can fix note by note or take to other software as a .mid file.

Beatmakers and beatboxers

Turns beatboxed kicks, snares and hats into drum notes on the timeline, so a groove in your head becomes a pattern.

Producers who don't play keys

Lets you enter melodies, basslines and chord beds by voice instead of clicking notes into the piano roll.

Content creators and YouTubers

Shows a hummed idea turning into notes on the timeline as you sing, for videos about how songs get made.

A topline over your beat

Hum over your beat in Melody mode and keep the take as notes you can edit and reuse.

A sung bassline

Sing the line in a comfortable range, then use OCTAVE to drop it up to three octaves so it sits as a bass part.

A beatboxed groove

Beatbox kick, snare and hat sounds in Drums mode, then tidy the timing and velocities of the hits in the piano roll.

Chord pads from a hum

Hum slow, long notes in Chords mode and each one becomes a triad or a seventh chord in your key, for a quick pad part under a verse.

The key from your voice

Sing a few notes and let Key Detect from my voice pick the root, then record the melody in that key.

From hum to sung song

Save the melody with Export as MIDI File and give it to MIDI to Song Generator with lyrics to hear it as a sung song. MIDI to Song Generator uses tokens.

A songwriting video

Screen-record VocalMIDI One while you hum, so viewers see the notes appear on the timeline as you sing.

Three ways to perform

Pick a mode on the Perform tab.

• Melody

  One note at a time, snapped to your key, and OCTAVE shifts the part up or down by up to three octaves.

• Drums

  Beatbox into kick (36), snare (38) and hat (42). Clear the Hat slot and press Learn on Open Hat (46) to send bright hits there instead.

• Chords

  One sung note becomes a triad or seventh chord in your key, with an optional root-note bassline.

Control

Tune how your voice becomes notes.

• Key

  12 roots and 9 scales, including pentatonic, blues and chromatic, plus Key Detect from my voice to set the root from what you sing.

• Feel

  STICKINESS, SENSITIVITY and OCTAVE on the Perform tab.

• Mapping

  Velocity follows your input level, or stays fixed at 100.

• Calibration

  Select your input, set the level and sing your range; re-calibrate or delete the profile anytime in Settings.

How it hears you

VocalMIDI One uses real-time signal analysis in your browser, not a generative AI model.

• Pitch detection

  Tracks the pitch of your voice as you sing and maps it to the nearest note in your scale.

• Onset detection

  A steady new pitch starts a note, and silence or a pitch change ends it; in Drums mode, a jump in loudness triggers each hit.

• Brightness for drums

  Each beatboxed hit is sorted by how bright it sounds: low into kick, middle into snare, bright into hat.

Ideas at the speed of your voice

Sing or hum a melody and it lands as MIDI notes on your timeline while you perform, with no recording to convert afterwards.

In key by default

Pitches snap to the key and scale you choose, from major and minor to pentatonic, blues and chromatic, so takes land in tune.

Beatbox a drum part

In Drums mode, VocalMIDI One sorts each sound by its brightness into kick, snare or hat and writes it to standard drum notes.

Free, and analyzed locally

VocalMIDI One costs no tokens on any plan, including Free, and its voice analysis runs locally in your browser.

Live input only

VocalMIDI One listens to your microphone as you perform. To convert an existing recording, use Audio to MIDI.

One note at a time

Melody mode follows a single pitch; Chords mode is the only way to write several notes from one sung note.

Three drum sounds

Beatboxing is sorted by brightness into kick, snare and hat (or open hat in the hat's place), so similar sounds can land on the same slot.

Calibrate first

Until you calibrate, VocalMIDI One warns that accuracy is limited. Setup takes your input, level and voice range.

Your microphone and VocalMIDI One

• VocalMIDI One's voice analysis runs locally in your browser.
• Your calibration profile is a small set of settings, not audio, stored on your device; delete it anytime in Settings.
• VocalMIDI One writes MIDI notes to your track, not a recording of your voice.

Is VocalMIDI One a free voice to MIDI tool?

Yes. VocalMIDI One is free on every Soundverse plan, including Free, and using it costs no tokens. It runs inside AI Studio, where the Free plan gives you 3 projects with up to 3 tracks each and MP3 export, and VocalMIDI One takes one track. Creator raises the limits to 8 projects and 8 tracks and adds WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG and stems. All you need is a microphone.

How accurate is VocalMIDI One?

VocalMIDI One follows one pitch at a time with real-time pitch detection, so a clear solo voice gives the cleanest notes, and it warns that accuracy is limited until you calibrate your mic and range. Key correction snaps notes to your scale, STICKINESS sets how long a new pitch must hold before the note changes, and SENSITIVITY sets how quiet a sound can be and still start a note in Soundverse AI Studio.

Can I use music I make with VocalMIDI One commercially?

It depends on your Soundverse plan. On the Free plan, what you make with VocalMIDI One is for personal use. Paid plans include a commercial license; the Pricing page lists what each plan covers. If someone else sings or beatboxes the part, get their permission, and you need the rights to anything you upload into the project.

What can't VocalMIDI One do?

VocalMIDI One works live from your microphone, so it doesn't convert an audio file you already have; use Audio to MIDI for recordings. Melody mode follows one note at a time, Chords mode is the only way to write several notes from one sung note, and Drums mode sorts beatboxing into just three sounds: kick, snare and hat. It runs only inside Soundverse AI Studio.

What is VocalMIDI One?

VocalMIDI One is Soundverse's voice-to-MIDI instrument in AI Studio. It listens to your microphone, detects the pitch and start of each note as you sing, hum or beatbox, and writes MIDI notes into the armed track, while a built-in monitor sound lets you hear the result. Tabs for Perform, Drums, Key, Chords, Mapping and Settings control how your voice becomes notes.

How do I turn my voice into MIDI?

Open VocalMIDI One in Soundverse AI Studio and finish the three-step calibration: select your input, set the level, and sing your range. On the Perform tab pick Melody and set the KEY, then arm the track and press Record. Sing or hum the part, and the notes land in a MIDI clip you can edit in the piano roll or save with Export as MIDI File.

Can I beatbox drums into MIDI?

Yes. Switch VocalMIDI One to Drums mode in Soundverse AI Studio and beatbox: each hit is sorted by its brightness into kick, snare or hat and written to the matching General MIDI drum note, 36, 38 or 42. To send bright hits to the open hat on note 46 instead, clear the Hat slot and press Learn on Open Hat. Similar-sounding hits can land on the same slot, so tidy the pattern in the piano roll afterwards.

How is VocalMIDI One different from Voice to Instrument and Audio to MIDI?

VocalMIDI One turns your voice into MIDI notes live, while you perform, at no token cost. Voice to Instrument is a Soundverse AI tool that turns a recording of your voice into audio played by an instrument model, such as sitar or flute. Audio to MIDI is an AI tool that transcribes an existing recording into MIDI, one track per instrument. Both AI tools use tokens.

Can I turn a hummed melody into a full song?

Yes, in two ways. Record your melody with VocalMIDI One, save the clip with Export as MIDI File, and open Soundverse's MIDI to Song Generator with your lyrics. Or record yourself humming and give the audio to Melody to Song Generator, which builds a sung song that follows your tune. Both generators take 5 to 60 seconds of melody and use tokens.
