Percussiva, the music platform.

Tools for musicians, music schools and students: practise with any recording, turn notation into playable scores, and run a school’s teaching in one app. The apps are in testing, and you can try them before they launch.

Riffscope

Coming soon

Slow down, loop and study music and video.

Add audio or video once, then slow it down, shift its pitch, loop the hard bits and move around the waveform with your hands or the keyboard.

  • Loops and flags. Click-free loops with a speed trainer and a count-in. Speed in steps of 0.1% and pitch in steps of one cent, with video kept in sync.
  • Scores beside the recording. A PDF score turns its pages with the playhead, at any speed and around every loop. Mark up the page in ink.
  • Tuner and metronome. A chromatic tuner to 0.1 cent, with temperaments and Persian quarter tones. A metronome with odd meters that can follow the beat of the track.
  • Your library, in place. Files stay where they are. Flags, loops and where you left off sync through iCloud between Mac, iPhone and iPad. Export a recording at the speed and pitch you chose.

Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android

Percussiva School

Coming soon

A music school’s classes, materials, lessons, feedback on recordings, sessions and chat. One app for every role.

  • Feedback on recordings. Teachers flag a moment or a passage in a student’s take and reply with text, voice or video.
  • Courses and lessons. Lessons, materials and assignments, with drafts and published versions.
  • Schedule and chat. Sessions in a room or online, roll call, make-ups, calendar feeds, and chat built in.

Percussiva Studio

Coming soon

From scanned percussion notation to scores you can play, edit and share.

  • From scan to score. Pages are cut into notes, each note into its technique mark and its body.
  • Machine learning you can check. Annotate similar marks together, train, then compile notation with problems listed per bar.
  • Play and correct. A player over the notation. Tap a note to see the crop it came from.
