A song of their own
Your child invents the melody. The rest comes from Mika.
Making your own song sounds like sheet music, an instrument and a lot of patience. Here, humming is enough: two bars, however off-key, and they come back as a track, with beat, bass and an instrument that plays exactly what your child sang.
What's different
No form to type wishes into, no generated music. The melody is your child's; the app only moves it into time and key and lays it into a beat.
How the song comes about.
Hum.Mika counts four, then two bars. The pad draws what it hears.
Listen back.The melody sits in the beat, first with the voice, then with ‹ › as an instrument.
Twist it.Six shapes colour the screen and change the sound.
Keep it.Every song stays on the phone by itself, as a card under Your songs.
Ideas to start with.
- Hum your own name, or the pet's name.
- The tune that's in your head while brushing your teeth anyway.
- In twos: one hums, then the other. Up to six melodies play together.
- A song for Grandma: only a grown-up can share, behind a gate. How that works is for parents.
Do you need anything for it?
A phone and a browser. No account, no app from the store, no money, no ads. What your child sings stays on the phone. There is nothing to read: Mika talks, the paw shows where to go next.
