UPISketch is a composition tool, that keeps the principle of “pitch versus time” of the classical score, extended in the continuous domain. It allows to freely draw absolute pitch curves applied to existing sounds. It uses granular synthesis. It can be used to sketch musical ideas, try alternative scales (divisions of the octave), and more.
