Hyperscore®

Hyperscore® is a music creation program created by Harmony Line, Inc. Hyperscore® allows people of all ages with no musical background to compose music and create personalized ringtones for mobile phones (Ringtone version, version 4.2) by simply drawing lines of various colors and shapes across a computer screen.

With Hyperscore®, you can create music in a variety of styles by simply making short musical phrases or “motives” and “drawing” them onto a sketch window with colored pens. By adjusting the shape, length, color and position of the lines, you can produce melodies, choose harmonies, control tempo and more.
