How it works

Built for practice, not passive listening.

  • Control the tempo from slow study speed to performance practice speed.
  • Mute and solo instruments so beginners can learn one layer at a time.
  • Use a visual 16-step grid to see where each sound lands.
  • Practice in the browser with no download required.
First version note

No copyrighted loops or samples.

This first version generates simple percussion-like sounds with the browser audio engine. That keeps the tool lightweight and avoids using recordings from other apps or musicians without permission.

Later versions can replace the synthetic sounds with licensed recordings, add more grooves, and include microphone timing feedback.
