About
Plainsong composes leitmotifs, songs, sound effects and ambient loops as single notes on a pitch × time sheet, and saves them as a human- and AI-readable .track text file that any game using game-audio loads and plays at runtime.
- Sheet view with multi-point pitch and volume curves per note
- Piano mode: play the computer keyboard and record what you play
- Singing voices with phonetic lyrics
- Leitmotifs, custom tunings, layers with live effects, adaptive music
- MIDI import, WAV and MP3 export
Tutorial
Press Space to play, Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y to undo and redo, Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V to copy and paste. Drag on the sheet to draw notes; hold Shift to ignore snapping.
