How it works

The timeline is home

A lane for each instrument

Tap a lane's name to open that instrument full screen. Arm it, press record, play. The take lands on its lane, on the bar.

Swipe between faces

A hard swipe goes to the next instrument. Nothing stops: the beat, the click and your takes keep going.

One clock

Drums, click and recordings run off the same clock, so a long song stays in time to the sample.

Keys

Sixteen waves with sustain, attack, tone and echo. Play the on-screen keys or your computer keyboard.

Beat

Twenty kits, from recorded acoustic drums to our own drum synths, with styles, swing and feel.

Mix

Faders, meters, pan, mute and solo, and a master limiter that keeps it loud and clean.

Questions

Good to know

How does the free demo work?

Everything works for 40 minutes each session, with no sign-up. When the time's up, your take is kept; subscribe to keep going, or start a new session later.

How do I cancel?

The receipt email has a link to manage your subscription. Cancel there any time; the key works until the end of the period you paid for.

Where are my songs kept?

In your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to us.

Can I use a MIDI keyboard?

MIDI is on the way for the browser version. Until then you can play with your computer keys (A to K, with Z and X for octave).

There's no sound.

Tap or click once on the page to start the sound (browsers ask for that). On an iPhone, check the ring/silent switch.
