Upload a piano recording, paste a TikTok or YouTube link, record live, or drop in sheet music, and watch it fall into place, note by note.
You've seen it a gazillion times: someone posts an incredible cover that you really wanna play, and the replies are all "tutorial please?" and "how do you do this??" BUT NOBODY REPLIES. And let's be honest, nobody has all that time to wait. keydrops skips the part of waiting entirely! Paste the link, and it shows you the notes itself, and although still in the works it can produce a very close guess that helps you learn faster.
Powered by Basic Pitch, an open piano-transcription model, listening for pitch, timing, and how hard each note was played.
Upload a PDF or photo of sheet music and it gets scanned into falling notes, with a piano playing along. MusicXML and MIDI files come through note-perfect.
Each hand is followed as its own voice through the piece, so a hand crossing into the other's range doesn't get miscolored.
Move a song up or down and the audio actually changes pitch along with the falling notes, not just the visuals.
Mark a section with A/B points and repeat just that passage, at whatever speed you need.
Bring the transcription into any DAW or notation program to keep working on it.
Uploading a file or pasting a link usually means clean, already-recorded audio. A live mic in your room picks up everything else too, so for now, expect the most accurate results from a file or link, with live recording as the more experimental option while we keep tuning it.
Listening to every note…
