PitchScope Navigator PD

Whether you’re a conservatory student or just a music aficionado, applying classical score notation and determination techniques to modern audio formats can be difficult. Especially when trying to determine the specific notes and their keys in certain audio files. PitchScope Navigator PD will help you automatically transcribe notes from MP3 files, combining that with options for inserting, exporting or editing them.

The app’s looks will certainly won’t win any design contest, and although not sporting the latest lines, this doesn’t impede its functionality. There are dedicated controls for the volume, playback speed as well as note detection thresholds.

The provided on-screen controls are well-structured and offer a good balance between accessibility and adjustability. At this point, we could mention that adding audio files is not an issue, but we would have liked to see at least some features for batch processing.

One must bear in mind that this app deals with musical note detection and it does so providing with it a multitude of tweaking and customization options. Namely, users can select either flats, numerals or sharps for the notes, adjust the detection threshold or select the corresponding organ.

In order to help with visualization and detection, the app provides five different viewing options, each with different animation characteristics and we believe this is a nice touch.

This app will provide you with the means to detect musical notes in audio files in just a few steps. Combining both minimalism and functionality, it manages to strike a good balance between straightforward handling and actual abundance of features.
