Unmatched Control Over Accompaniment

With Appcompanist, you have the ability to transpose to any key, adjust the tempo, blend a melody guide track in and out, and add additional rubato, fermatas, ritardandos, and accelerandos.

You can save your tempo changes and fermatas to create custom versions tailored to your preferences, ensuring that your accompaniments always sound exactly as you desire.

Comprehensive Library and Additional Features

The app includes over 850 vocal exercises and warm-ups, all accessible with full app functionality. Ten full-length sample songs are also provided to help you explore the unique playback features. Top-level collaborative pianists from around the world are recording high-quality, singer-sensitive accompaniments for every aria, art song, and musical theater piece in the vocal repertoire. With thousands of titles already available, Appcompanist boasts the fastest-growing accompaniment library.

Advanced Playback Options

Appcompanist offers a range of advanced playback options. You can transpose the music instantly up or down 11 half-steps without compromising audio quality. The melody guide track can be turned on or off, and its volume adjusted relative to the full accompaniment. You can also choose to hear the melody in one of three different octaves. The accompaniment can be held and sustained, and brought back in with perfect accuracy for musical pauses, cadenzas, recitatives, or other moments requiring a fermata. The fermata button allows you to start playback at any point in the piece precisely when you're ready.

Precision and Flexibility

You can check the next melody pitch when stopped and start in perfect sync with the accompaniment every time. Tempo adjustments can be made during play to suit any interpretation or set a new tempo using the tempo slider. Markers, cuts, and loop sections can be added anywhere in any piece, and custom versions can be created and controlled just like the original accompaniment. A countdown timer can be set to delay the start of playback from any point in the accompaniment.

User-Friendly Organization and Sharing

The library can be sorted or searched using keywords to find the perfect piece. Playlists can be created and edited, and songs and playlists can be shared with other users. All of these features are designed to enhance your practice and performance experience, making Appcompanist an indispensable tool for singers and voice teachers alike.
