Voice Pitch Monitor

Follow singing pitch across a phrase

Start the microphone and sing one note or a short melody. Time moves from left to right, while higher pitches appear higher on the graph. A pause creates a real gap instead of a line that falsely joins two separate notes.

1. Begin with a comfortable sustained note so the graph can establish your range.
2. Try a slide, scale, or phrase and watch whether its line rises, falls, or drifts near the end.
3. Use Clear trace before repeating the phrase so the next shape is easy to compare by eye.

A pitch monitor is different from a tuner

A tuner gives you a target note and helps you center one sound on it. This pitch monitor sets no target: it records the direction of your pitch over time so you can see drift, flat endings, rising phrases, slides, and vibrato.

Read the note, cents, frequency, and trace together

The current note names the nearest chromatic pitch, frequency preserves the detected fundamental in hertz, and cents shows the offset from that nearest note. The graph adds the missing time dimension, revealing what happened before the current instant.

Calibrate a noisy practice room

Use Calibrate room while staying quiet. The shared local engine measures the present background level and adjusts its input gate for this session, helping pauses remain gaps instead of noise-driven marks.

Voice pitch monitor questions

These answers cover singing, solo instruments, silence, privacy, and interpreting a moving trace.

Can I use the monitor for an instrument?

Yes. It works with a monophonic solo line from a voice, wind instrument, bowed string, or any source that produces one dominant pitch at a time.

Why does the trace stop during a breath?

The gap represents silence or a signal below the current noise gate. Keeping that gap prevents the graph from inventing a slide between notes separated by a breath.

Does the page record my singing?

No. It keeps recent pitch measurements in memory for the visible trace and sends no microphone audio to a server.

What does a downward line at the end mean?

It means the detected fundamental fell during that part of the phrase. Repeat the phrase and use your ears alongside the graph before deciding whether the change was intentional.
