Everything you need

One app, from chanter to performance

Whether you're learning on a practice chanter or performing with a full pipe band, every tool you need lives here.

Scan any score into a playable tune

Point your camera at any pipe tune — or import a PDF — and Ultimate Piper reads it into a playable score in seconds, across multiple pages, powered by an on-device AI model trained on more than 130,000 staves of pipe music.

Scanning a score into a playable tune

How scanning works

Notation that thinks like a piper

Create complete scores for light music and piobaireachd alike, with reactive grace notes and embellishments that adapt to the melodic context — or build your own custom runs.

Score editor with embellishment picker

Tracks every note

Intelligent tracking via microphone or MIDI chanter — strike-in mode waits for a steady E before tracking begins.

Follow along mode

How playback works

Realistic pipes & practice chanter

Play back any tune with authentic samples and visual note tracking. Drones fade in, harmony pans, the metronome ticks.
