Tool

Practice any song with the melody editor

The built-in exercises cover the fundamentals, but sometimes you want to work on a specific phrase — the chorus you keep missing, a tricky run, or a warm-up of your own. The melody editor lets you draw that melody note-by-note, add a backing track, and then sing it with the same live pitch feedback as any other exercise.

Think of the editor as a simple piano roll: time runs left to right in beats, pitch runs bottom to top. Each block is a note the app will ask you to hit — your personal target lane.

Vocalify's melody editor: a piano-roll grid with a short green melody drawn across the beats, an instruments panel on the left, transport controls, BPM, and a master volume slider.
The melody editor. Click the grid to place notes, drag to set their length, then Play to hear it and Save to practice.

Four steps to a custom exercise

  1. Open a new melody. From Melodies, choose New melody to open the editor.
  2. Draw the notes. Click a grid cell to drop a note at that pitch and beat; drag its edge to lengthen it. Build your phrase left to right. Set the tempo with the BPM field.
  3. Add a backing track (optional). Drop in an audio file to sing along with — a piano guide, an instrumental, or an isolated accompaniment.
  4. Save and practice. Hit Save to turn the melody into an exercise. Now sing it: your voice draws a live line over your target notes and every run is scored.
Practice smarter

Don't rebuild a whole song at once. Isolate the hard four bars, loop them, and drill until the line stays green — the same "isolate and repeat" principle behind deliberate practice. Then stitch the sections together.

Where custom melodies fit

The editor is a tool, not a training method on its own — the skill still comes from the intonation, range and ear work in the other guides. Use it to aim that work at material you actually care about: a song in your repertoire, a phrase that trips you up, or a warm-up pattern tailored to your voice.
