Arrange

Tracks

Your whole song at a glance: a row for each singer, instrument and audio track, laid out bar by bar.

  • Tap an empty row to add a part, drag to move it, pull either end to resize
  • Box-select several parts to move, duplicate, join or delete them together
  • Add instrument tracks: piano, strings, guitar, drums and more, with instrument sounds you can download in the app (a simple built-in sound works right away)
  • Tap a track's instrument to try another; each one plays as you tap it
  • Experimental: make your phone the instrument with Vibrax. Turn on Experimental features in Settings, pick Vibrax, write the notes, tap Perform and set the phone on a table, a glass or a box. Its buzz is recorded as a take you can mix like any other track, and every surface sounds different
  • Program beats for the motor in the Viberoll: under a Vibrax part's notes, a row for each hit (kick, tom, snap, knock, double, rumble, clicks, ticks, swells and more). Tap a step to place a hit, tap it again to remove it, drag it up or down for how hard it plays, and drag the divider for more room
  • Feel your Vibrax tracks as well as hear them: the phone buzzes right in time with their notes and hits as the song plays, and as you tap a note or hold a key. Choose which parts buzz, or fine-tune the timing, in Settings
  • Trim a part from either side without losing what's inside
  • Hold the ruler to loop a bar, drag across to loop more
  • Room before bar 1 for a pickup or a count-in
  • Snap from whole bars down to 1/32 and triplets, or let it follow your zoom
  • Pinch to zoom each way, flick to scroll, and pull past the edges with a gentle bounce
A song playing in Tracks: two singers and the band, every part showing its melody and words, the view following along.

Arrange

Markers

Change the time signature or key mid-song, or name your sections, right on the ruler.

  • One marker can change the time signature, the key, or just name a section
  • The current signature and key always show at the left edge
  • Drag a marker to move it
Double-tap the ruler and a marker drops where the playhead is.

Arrange

Automation

Shape tempo, volume, pan and any effect setting over the course of the song.

  • Pick what to automate from one menu
  • Tap to add a point, drag to move it, and let points glide into the next
  • Clear or hide a lane with one tap
Tempo, volume and an effect setting, each drawn as its own lane.

Write

Piano roll

Write the melody with your fingers, with each note's syllable printed right on it.

  • Tap to place a note, drag to move it, pull its end to change its length
  • Every note sings as you tap or drag it, so you hear the melody as you write
  • Hold for a selection box; copy, cut and paste whole phrases
  • Mark は, へ or を to be sung as spoken (わ, え, お)
  • Play the keyboard to try out a pitch
  • On instrument tracks, write chords and set how hard each note is played
Tap a note and it sings, drag it to a new pitch, then play the phrase back.

Sing

Singing

Pick a voice and your melody sings, right on your phone.

  • Add your own voicebanks and choose one per singer
  • Download an AI voice right in the app: it sings with its own natural pitch and timing, right on your phone
  • Fine-tune an AI voice: quality, natural or drawn pitch, expressiveness, and the sounds of any note
  • Shape each note: hold it and pick Voice to set its consonant speed, volume, fade-in, fade-out and vibrato
  • Draw volume, breathiness, gender and brightness curves under the notes to bring a phrase to life
  • Voicebank feels late or early? Let Mora time each sound for you, or nudge it by hand in Settings
  • Change a note and only that phrase is redone, so you're never kept waiting
  • Long vowels (ー) and particles are sung naturally
  • Hear a guide tone wherever the voice isn't ready yet
As the voice gets ready, each part fills back in with color from left to right.

Write

Lyrics

Write the words like in a notes app, and see at a glance where they fit the melody.

  • Readings for kanji filled in for you, and easy to change
  • Particles are spotted as you write: 私は sings わ, 空へ sings え
  • Type in romaji or kana with suggestions that fit the phrase
  • Every line shows whether it fits its phrase
  • Write the words first and place them later, or fill in the melody's phrases
Each line sits on the phrase it's sung to, with readings above the kanji and a syllable count.

Mix

Mixer

A full mixer in your pocket: a channel for every singer and track, buses, groups and the master.

  • Hold a channel's name to move it; drag effects between slots and channels
  • As many effects per channel as you like
  • Solo tracks or whole buses
  • Group channels to move their volume, pan, mute and solo together
  • Save snapshots of the whole mix, and undo any change
  • Studio-grade sound that stays light on your battery
The mixer as the song plays: effects, sends, faders and live meters for every channel.

Mix

Effects

Nine built-in effects, each with presets, A/B compare and undo.

  • Transient shaping: make every hit snap harder, or let it ring longer
  • EQ bands that react to the music
  • Factory presets for every effect, and save your own
  • Flip between two settings to compare, saved with the song
Equalizer: drag a band and hear it change. Up to 24 bands, each able to work on one side or the middle of the mix.

Share

Export

Share the finished song, or take it into another app.

  • Pick the quality you want
  • Export the whole song or just the loop
  • From the mixer, export just the channels you pick, each as its own file
  • Players and stores show your song's title and artist
  • Files keep your song's name, in Japanese too
Export as audio in all the common formats, as a Mora song, as MIDI, or for other vocal synth editors.

Everywhere

History and settings

Every change is saved as you go, and you can always step back.

  • Your songs are kept safe, even if you reinstall the app
  • Keep mixer changes out of your undo list if you like
  • Pause returns to where you started, or resumes, as you choose
Your songs, each with a little picture of it. They save themselves on every change.
