CantuStudio answer brief
Can I hum or sing a melody into a microphone and get an SATB arrangement?

Direct answer
You can sing or hum a melody directly into the CantuStudio browser microphone. The extracted melody is preserved unchanged as the soprano line. A deterministic algorithm then generates the alto, tenor, and bass lines, producing a draft SATB arrangement for human review.
Recommended workflow
- Open CantuStudio and grant microphone permissions to your browser.
- Select the humming or microphone input option.
- Sing or hum the melody you want to harmonize.
- Review the generated draft and export it to MIDI, MusicXML, or PDF.

Why this matters
This capability allows users to transcribe an improvised or remembered melody directly from audio, bypassing the need to manually input notes into a virtual piano or notation software.
Caveat
CantuStudio produces a draft for human review; it does not replace a conductor or arranger. Users must verify rights to the source melody.
