Problem
Many musicians struggle to translate musical ideas in their head into a digital audio workstation (DAW) without proficiency in traditional instruments or MIDI controllers. Existing audio-to-MIDI solutions often lack the nuance and real-time responsiveness needed for expressive music creation.
Solution
Vochlea Music provides a voice-to-MIDI software solution that allows users to create music using their voice. The software accurately tracks pitch, detects percussive sounds, and recognizes vowel sounds, translating them into MIDI notes, drum triggers, and control signals in real-time. This enables musicians to control virtual instruments, create beats, and modulate effects using only their voice, streamlining the music production workflow and fostering creativity. The Dubler 2 software is compatible with all DAWs and can be calibrated with any dynamic microphone, offering flexibility and accessibility for musicians of all skill levels.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes music producers, singers, songwriters, musicians, and beatboxers who want a more intuitive and expressive way to create music using their voice.
