About Blackcap: Songwriting Studio
Blackcap is the easiest way to actually make your own song. Start from a melody you hummed, a few chords, or a line of lyrics, and Blackcap walks you the rest of the way: a beat, chords that fit, real instruments, your own voice, and a finished song to share. No experience needed, just an idea.
START FROM YOUR IDEA
• Quick Song asks one question at a time: hum a tune, type some words, or pick a few chords, and you hear your song right away.
• Start from one of 27 songs in different styles, or play a song you love and get an original backing track with the same feel.
• Catch ideas in seconds with Siri, the Action button or Control Center, and keep them until they're ready to become songs.
BUILD IT PIECE BY PIECE
• See your whole song as lanes: chords, beat, every melody and bass line, every recording. Each piece is a bar with its wave or notes drawn in it.
• Pick a part, like the chorus, and record a piece right into it. A count-in gets you ready, and you watch your take grow where it lands.
• Put it in every chorus with one tap, or drag it onto another part. Pinch to see the whole song at once.
WRITE THE SONG
• Chords and lyrics lined up word by word, part by part: verse, chorus, bridge.
• Chords as names or numbers (Am F C G, or vi IV I V), in any key. Transpose in one tap.
• Sing your lyrics and Blackcap writes the words down.
• Hear it with a band while you write, in 85 styles.
REAL INSTRUMENTS
• Play on screen or with a MIDI keyboard: a recorded grand and upright piano, electric pianos, organs, acoustic and nylon guitars, electric and upright bass, strings, cello, harp, mallets, and synths you can shape.
• Hum a melody or a bass line and it becomes notes, in your key and on the beat.
• Draw notes on a piano roll, or write a bass line from your chords in one tap.
• Load your own Audio Unit instruments and effects too.
BEATS
• 108 ready-made beats in 23 styles, each with a bigger chorus version, to use as they are or make your own.
• Tap in a beat on a grid or on pads, add swing, or beatbox it into the mic.
• Ten kits, recorded and drum machine.
RECORD ANYTHING
• Vocals, with your words and chords following along as you sing.
• Guitar and bass through built-in amps and cabinets, in stereo from an audio interface, with very low delay when you hear yourself.
• A sampler: record any sound, chop it across 16 pads, play it on a keyboard.
• Keep, redo or tune each take, add a harmony, or clean up your voice.
• Up to 32 recordings in every song.
FINISH IT AND SHARE IT
• Mix It for Me, effects on any part, and a mastering style for the finishing touch.
• Finish your song and the finished mix is kept as a version that stays as it is. Change the song any time and finish it again for version 2.
• Keep songs in folders: an album, an EP, songs for the band. Save a copy to Files.
• Share a song, a lossless WAV ready for streaming, a video, or every part as its own file plus MIDI for another music app.
• Your songs sync through your own iCloud across i
