Create and save your first melody with guided onboarding. Export PDFs with position numbers, numbered musical notation, or note names for practice and teaching.
Start with a few notes you love. Create handpan music of your own.
TideTone brings handpan playing, composition, notation, and practice together for enthusiasts, beginners, and teachers. Capture an idea, write an exercise, or prepare a lesson—and turn your favorite sounds into music you can play, practice, and share.
CREATE WITH NOTES, RHYTHM, AND STYLE
Choose the notes you want to use, preview a rhythm, and select a style. Let AI help you build a multi-bar handpan score.
Beginners can start with simple choices, while experienced players can guide the result through note, rhythm, and style settings. Listen, edit, and refine the generated score to make it your own.
EXPLORE REAL HANDPAN SOUNDS
Play with real handpan samples and scales including D Kurd 10 and E Amara 20.
Explore techniques such as Slap, Ghost, and Knuckle to add different textures and rhythmic details to your playing.
READ AND WRITE YOUR WAY
Switch between three notation views:
• Note-position numbers that correspond to the handpan’s tone fields.
• Numbered musical notation (jianpu).
• Note names for reading specific pitches.
Organize your music with the bar manager. Enter numbered notation directly, listen back, and edit your ideas. Automatic saving helps you return to work in progress.
IMPORT PDF AND IMAGE SCORES
Import a PDF, or capture or select a clear image of printed numbered notation for recognition. Review and correct the results in the editor before continuing to create or practice.
Image recognition supports printed numbered notation, not staff notation or handwritten scores.
GET READY, THEN PLAY
A count-in gives you time to get your hands ready before playback begins.
Improved playback controls, audiovisual timing, and preview response make listening and following your score smoother.
SHARE, BACK UP, AND EXPORT
• Six-digit sharing codes: share a code so another user can import your score.
• Score packs: share multiple scores together for lessons, assignments, and practice.
• Cloud sync and backup: keep your work available for later.
• PDF export: print your scores or share them for teaching and collaboration.
