Note

一个可玩性强,用来激发音乐创意的 iOS 应用程序

Make new ideas a habit

Note is a place to start ideas, experiment with sounds and find direction. As part of your regular music-making routine, it can help you hone the skill of starting or ease into a creative headspace at the start of a session.

Get your idea out or play until you find one using Note’s drum kits, melodic instruments and synth sounds. Or create your own sound palette by recording the sounds around you into Note’s sampler instruments.

Play just for fun, or start song ideas to continue in Live. Using Ableton Cloud, you can send your Note Set to Live without leaving the app. Then keep working with all the same devices as in Note, but with additional parameters available. You can edit all your MIDI notes, and all your samples and sounds from Note are exactly the same.

Sounds familiar

Note uses instruments and devices from Ableton Live. Play synth lines with melodic presets, finger-drum beats using Drum Sampler kits, and create instrumental melodies with Melodic Sampler instruments. Use Reverb, Delay and Chorus-Ensemble to give your sounds space and depth, or play with color and texture using Saturator, Redux and Phaser-Flanger.

Get started

Not everyone starts a song the same way. Note offers multiple starting points from which to explore new musical ideas. Then develop your ideas by adding to them and creating variations.

Begin with a beat

从手机正上方俯视,某个人正在 Note 中做音乐。 他们播放节奏,或者叠录,利用 Note Repeat 功能添加踩镲,以及录制自动化。
Turn the beat in your mind into something tangible, or just start finger drumming on the 16-pad grid and see what you come up with. You can quantize your drum pattern to correct loose timing, nudge notes, add in-time repeated beats or play in more layers of percussion. Plus, experiment with parameters and effects to make the sound your own.

Start with a melody

从手机正上方俯视,某个人正在 Note 中做音乐。 他们挑选合成器音色,设置调和音阶,弹奏一段旋律,以及录制自动化。
Pick a sound to sketch with, and start playing a melody or chord progression using the 25-pad grid or piano roll. Keep it chromatic to leave your options open, or set a key and scale to get instantly harmonic results. Use the preset sounds as a starting point, then tweak the eight parameters and use two effects to shape the sound to suit your project.

Sample your environment

从手机正上方俯视,某个人正在 Note 中做音乐。 他们录制一些打击乐式的人声到 Drum Sampler 的打击垫中,并编写鼓节奏。 然后他们录入一个哼唱出的音符到 Melodic Sampler 中,利用他们的新采样演奏一段旋律并添加混响。
Use your phone’s microphone to record percussive hits into Drum Sampler and create your own kits, or record tonal sounds into Melodic Sampler and make your own playable melodic instruments. Cut, filter and repitch your samples, or add effects to transform them into something new and surprising to build on.

Capture improvisations

从手机正上方俯视,某个人正在 Note 中做音乐。 他们演奏一段鼓并按下捕捉按钮来记录他们刚刚演奏的内容。 他们添加一个叠录,然后使用相同的过程添加两层旋律。
When you play something you like, tap the Capture MIDI button to keep it – Note will detect the tempo and length, then automatically loop your idea. You can then quantize it, add to it, or change the sound you’ve used.

Create variations

从手机正上方俯视,某个人正在 Note 中做音乐。 他们将已经创建的节拍循环时常加倍并添加叠录。 然后他们添加一段贝斯和旋律。 他们复制旋律的片段并叠加一些额外的音符以创建一段变奏旋律。 然后他们触发不同的 clip 组合来实验不同歌曲结构。

Double your loops to create variation within clips. Then duplicate your clips and experiment with different versions of your idea in Note’s Session View layout. Create eight tracks with up to eight clips on eight scenes, and use the Scene Launcher to experiment with building it up, stripping it back, and trying out combinations of layers.

When you like the way your clips are arranged, export your project as an audio file to share with friends and collaborators.

Make beats and melodies

Play your way

Choose between the 25-pad melody grid or piano roll to play melodies, and play beats using the 16-pad percussion grid or single velocity pad, or connect an external MIDI Instrument via USB or Bluetooth.

Capture MIDI

Play at a tempo that feels comfortable to you, and Note will restore what you played and create a loop – no need to press record beforehand. Three different modes allow you to start from scratch, create additional clips, and overdub notes.

Work with loops

Quickly create variations by copying your loop and make small changes to each version. Isolate and loop a segment to hone in on the details, then bring back the whole loop to hear it in context. 

Fix mistakes

Correct any timing issues by quantizing the notes you played or by nudging selected notes. Delete any accidental extra notes, or those you’d like to play in again. Change the velocity of your notes, and correct any tonal issues by transposing your notes by semitones or octaves.

Automation Capture

Animate your sound by automating instrument and effect parameters. Simply tweak a parameter and press “add” to capture your movements.

Note Repeat

Play repeated notes in time, or create rapid trap-style rhythmic patterns. Choose a note subdivision on the strip, then hold the pads or keys for as long as you want the note to repeat. Slide up and down the velocity pad to change the velocity. 

Explore sounds

Sample your environment

Create your own sounds and kits by recording up to 60 seconds of audio into Note’s Percussion Sampler and Melodic Sampler using your phone’s microphone. Cut, filter, repitch or add audio effects to transform your sampled sounds. 

Sound library

Note comes with a collection of presets, samples and kits to play with. Sketch with them as is, or tweak them to your taste by changing parameters, adding effects, and automating changes.

Audio effects

Shape your sound using Live’s Chorus-Ensemble, Delay, Phaser-Flanger, Redux, Reverb, Saturator and Channel EQ effects. Add up to two effects on Melodic Sampler or synth instruments, and one send and one insert on drum kits.

Continue your idea

Session View

Combine, duplicate, and arrange your ideas to try out different structures in Note’s Session View. You can use eight tracks with up to eight clips each, on eight scenes. Then export your audio to share with friends or collaborators. 

Ableton Cloud

Send your Note Set to Live using Ableton Cloud. Open your project in Live’s browser and pick up where you left off with all your sounds, samples and effects in place. 

Ableton Link

Keep Note in time with other devices over a local network using built-in Ableton Link.
