Hum studio

Hum it.
Kyma writes it down.

Kyma's Hum studio: the voice-in scope, a choice of instruments like Cello and Choir, and the timeline below

Sing a line into your mic and Kyma hears the notes. Beatbox a groove and it hears the kicks, snares and hats. Both land on the timeline as parts you can edit.

Try the Hum studio
  • Hum a melody or beatbox a beat.
  • Notes snap to your song's key, so a wobbly take still sounds right.
  • Play it back as cello, choir, bansuri, sax or a drum kit.

Magic, in the Compose studio

Pick a feeling.
Kyma deals the next idea.

Choose a mood like Dreamy and a genre like Lo-fi. Kyma deals cards for drums, chords, bass, melody, pads and arps. Keep the ones you like, or ask for a whole track at the length you need.

Try the Compose studio
  • Moods and genres from Ambient to Raga.
  • A full track in one press: 15 seconds for a story, a minute for a vlog.
  • Chord strips let you play your own harmony, and Magic follows it.

The DJ studio with two decks and effect pads

One free tool for the music under everything you post, from a 15-second story to an hour-long stream.

Video studio

Drop in your edit.
The music lands on your cuts.

The Video studio with a clip loaded, its cuts and speech detected, ready to score

Drop in an MP4 or WebM. Kyma finds the cuts and the speech, sets a tempo so cuts fall on the beat, and lowers the music while people talk. Then export the finished video.

Try the Video studio
  • Cuts and speech found for you.
  • Transition sounds at every cut, from subtle to trailer.
  • Your video never leaves your browser.

Atmosphere and DJ studios

Two more rooms.
Same easy controls.

The Atmosphere studio: scenes, a twelve-fader mixer and chord strips

Set the scene.

Mix drone, rain, wind, birds and city into a bed for a voiceover, a podcast or a study stream. Chord strips keep it in key.

Try Atmosphere
The DJ studio: deck A plays your song, deck B a demo or an audio file

Mix it live.

Two decks, a crossfader and pads for repeats, sweeps and tape stops. Play your song against any audio file and record the take.

Try DJ

Learning agent

Teach it your taste.
Share it with anyone.

Drop in a few tracks you love. Kyma measures their tempo, key, swing and energy and keeps them as a taste. Use it in your project, or share the small file so a friend can write in your style.

  • Reads tempo, key, groove and energy.
  • The taste file holds numbers and credits, never the audio.
  • Anyone can import it into their own project.

Three steps.
No manual.
