About Legato

Closer to the music.

We are building tools for the way musical ideas become music.

Legato is a music software venture focused on writing, understanding, and performing music. Our first product is an iPad workspace that brings handwritten notation, assisted transcription, and connected performance together.

Our starting point is simple: making music should feel musical. The software should leave you free to hear an idea, put it on the page, and follow where it leads.

Our approach

The principles
behind the product.

01

Begin with the musician.

Familiar gestures, clear notation, and focused listening guide our product decisions. Technology should support the way a musician thinks and works.

02

Keep the process connected.

Writing, understanding, and performing a piece belong to the same creative process. We want the transition between them to feel continuous.

03

Make complexity feel manageable.

Music can be intricate. Working with it should still feel direct. We focus on useful controls, readable scores, and room to concentrate.

A name with a purpose

le·ga·to

Music, played smoothly and connected.

That is how we want
the work to feel.

An idea can move from handwritten notes to close listening, from a score to a performance. Our ambition is to help those moments belong together.
