About Song One

Song One is the best-in-class chord sheet editor offering unmatched auto-scroll capabilities, smart automation features and a powerful adaptive audio engine. Compatible with iOS and macOS Song One offers an excellent way to create and manage your repertoire and deliver convincing live performances.

Content can be imported from a variety of sources including websites, PDFs, ChordPro files and third party apps to auto-create transposable chord charts. An intuitive timeline enables you to quickly adjust the scrolling speed of the song sections, control the playback of backing tracks and sends MIDI commands to external devices and apps. Setlists are easily created and forwarded to bandmates via AirDrop. Song One plays back all major audio formats be it in the form of a single stereo track or a multitrack with up to 50 stereo stems.

The playback speed as well as the execution of timeline events can be adjusted during the performance via a varispeed dial.

Automatic iCloud syncing and smart search options allow you to organize and manage large song catalogs efficiently. Built-in virtual instruments and a variety of songwriting tools assist you in mastering your material and invite you to experiment with different voicings, harmonies and chord progressions. Chords may be auto-played on a virtual keyboard or a virtual fretboard with high quality piano, church organ and guitar sounds.

Song One streamlines the editing of songs by auto-generating chord symbols with matching chord diagrams for any string instrument, in any tuning and at any capo position. Chord symbols can be repositioned via drag-and-drop and a chord matrix makes it easier to add advanced chords to the lyrics.
