Selah

Selah is a playable instrument by Riah Studio. Every Hebrew verse carries cantillation marks, the chant fixed in ink by the Masoretes in the 10th century. Selah reads those marks and writes one MIDI file per verse, 23,206 in all, that you can drop into a DAW and hear as music.

Who it is for

Musicians and producers who want the Hebrew Bible's own melody as raw material, and anyone curious how the marks map to notes. A free tuner pack shows the mapping before you buy anything.

What it is not

It is an alpha. Selah makes MIDI files; it does not ship a recorded performance.
