Motif Studio Start from an idea, then grow it across six story stages — Opening, Meet the Motif, Development, Contrast, Homecoming and Resolution. Save finished pieces to this device. Variation Detective See an original idea and a variation, then work out which move a composer used. Read the shapes, or listen for the difference. Notate the Motif Read a motif in real staff notation — the up-and-down shape and note lengths — then find the piano-roll that matches it. Build the Motif Read a motif in staff notation and reconstruct it note by note — set each note’s pitch and length until your piano-roll matches.
