Make music
Beat Studio A step-sequencer with a circular rhythm wheel and count-along syllables (1 e & a · ta-ka-di-mi). Melody Studio Build a tune on a pitched grid. In pentatonic mode there are no wrong notes — then switch to the full scale. Compose to a Brief Build a rhythm that meets a goal — a groove, a backbeat, a syncopation — then see it in real notation.
Train your ear
Rhythm Coach Fill the measure to four beats, and echo back rhythms you hear or see. A hint is always there. Notation Bridge Read a rhythm in real notes, then build it on the beat grid — the bridge from the grid to the page. Tempo Trainer A visual metronome with a swing slider — plus a tap-the-beat drill that tells you early, late, or on time. Harmony Harbor Two notes at once make harmony — name the interval, hear smooth vs. clashing, bright vs. dark. Predict, then hear it. Dynamics Domain From a whisper (pp) to a shout (ff) — order the levels, predict if a phrase grows louder or softer.
