What's Digimuse About?

The main aim of this project is to enable the musicians to create their digital sheet music archive and play it easily with illustrations, tabs and vocalizing abilities with different instruments in a mobile device. Digimuse offers these features both one by one or together upon need. It differs from the other similar products with its mobility, low-cost approach and answerability to multiple needs. Digimuse is the first Android application as a Music OCR as well as a MIDI workstation.

Digimuse enables its users to vocalize and visualize their sheet music. A user can digitalize his/her desired sheet music document with using Digimuse's Music OCR facilities, after that Player of Digimuse will vocalize the sheet music with desired instrument sound and also visualizes the sheet music in desired format i.e. digital sheet music or tablature simultaneously. It will also show the finger positions of the played notes on keyboard of a piano or a guitar. These features together would be a good instructor to new learners to understand how the partition is played in the keyboard and should sound like. Self-educated musicians can benefit from it similarly and save considerable time. Digimuse eases the users' life by making sheet music much more user-friendly and also it helps improving sheet music reading skills thanks to its instructive nature. Digimuse also enables users to define specific tempo, key, octave, tonality and other musical features for studying with user's setup and allows users to study in different speeds. This is the suggested method of music authorities.

Our project focuses on digitalizing sheet music and uses it or other MIDI sources for self-learning purposes of a musician. It converts printed music to digital, plays MIDI with desired instruments and combine them with visual elements I.e. keyboard of the instrument and sheet music/tablature. The software will also provide a toolbox facility since it has key components for a musician such as tuner and metronome.
