Pick a style
A style is a kind of music. Tap one and a whole band plays a song in it. Tap another to hear something new.
Surprise me picks a style, chords and a tune for you, all at once. A quick way to start a song.
Speed is how many beats in a minute. The tortoise slows the song down, the rabbit speeds it up. Hold one to go further.
Happy is a major key: bright and sunny. Dreamy is a minor key: soft and a bit sad. Same song, a different feeling.
The key is the note the song feels at home on. Higher or lower moves the whole song, so it fits your voice.
Chords are a few notes played together. Other chords gives the song a new path; every player follows it.
The tune is the part you could sing. Make up a tune writes one that fits the chords. Play along, or clear it and play your own.
The band
Tap a player to switch it on or off. ↻ gives it something else to play.
The keys at the bottom play along with the song. The magic keys only have notes that fit, so every note sounds good.

The studio can change every chord and every note, build a song from blocks, and record what you play.

How it works, and thank you
- Play makes a whole song from a style. Studio changes everything, note by note. Blocks puts parts on a timeline, like building with bricks. All three change the same song.
- Every part follows the chords: change a chord and the bass, the piano and the arpeggio all move with it.
- Easy, Everything and My way only change what you see. Your song stays the same; switch any time at the top. 💡 says what each thing is for.
- Your song saves itself on this device. Keep this song puts it in My songs; Send a link sends a copy.
The recorded instruments come from the Versilian Community Sample Library (free for everybody), and from tonejs-instruments by Nicholaus Brosowsky (bass and guitars recorded by Karoryfer Samples and the University of Iowa, CC BY 3.0), shortened and made smaller for this page.
