Helping you with tonality, harmony and composition
You know what it's like: Only an hour to go until choir practice and you had intended
to compose a four-part chorale for your choir to sing... The good news is that now there's
no longer any need to turn up empty-handed because you can let tonica do the work for you
in a matter of seconds!

tonica has been designed to create a four-part harmony for any melody. tonica models its work on the rules affecting four-part harmonies and the composition style of Johann Sebastian Bach or Max Reger (can be set accordingly).
While other programs encourage users to think they are gifted composers by using an automatic accompaniment, tonica uses a different approach. Based on neural networks, tonica is able to compose in the style of the old masters.
How tonica composes
- You compose the melody of a song, hymn or piece of music.
- By clicking on "Score", tonica will compose a four-part harmony in a matter of seconds.
- (Optional) By clicking on "Phrase variation", tonica will quickly turn your chorale into a prelude.
You can use your notations as the basis for more comprehensive compositions. All you have to do is export them into capella (available separately) before structuring and adding the finishing touches according to the rules of music engraving. From capella, you can then export to MusicXML to share your music with people using other notation programs. While tonica does not yet export to MusicXML directly, thanks to tonica's MIDI import and export interface, you can also use your compositions in just about any other music systems.
Looking for even more? tonica plus!
Those of you that like to experiment will love tonica plus. Given that tonica has been designed to learn through its neural technology, we have developed and introduced an additional style assistant to the program. Not only does this assistant make it possible for tonica to learn new styles (provided they are based on four-part homophonic harmonies), it also enables you to save them as permanently available composition styles.
Once you have created a new style, you might want to export it, making it available to other users in our style library. Which in turn means, that you are able to download styles created by other tonica plus users from the internet and import them into your program.
All capella products run on Windows and require product activation after 30 days. Recordare can only sell capella products in the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico. You will be asked for your shipping address during checkout even though these are downloadable products.
