For beginners who want to know how tracks are put together, and for AI-music creators who want to say exactly what they hear. No DAW, no install: it works on your phone.
Every pattern has a name and a grid of sixteen boxes. Press play and watch where each hit lands.
Tap a box and hear what it does. One change at a time is how the ear learns.
Patterns you learn become cards in your crate. You reuse them in projects until you can build a whole track.
One loop over Am, F, C, G, played five ways. Switch and listen to what changes.
20 patterns across drums, bass, chords and melody, each with a playable grid.
A kick on every beat

130–150 bpm chordsShort chord hits between the beats
118–128 bpm melodyOne phrase asks, the next one answers
100–128 bpmA kick on every beat, everything else in the gaps
Signature: Four-on-the-floor GenreDusty, swung drums under soft jazzy chords
Signature: Boom bap GenreA half-time snare, rolling hats and a sliding 808
Signature: Half-time snare GenreThe dembow rhythm: boom ch-boom-chick
Signature: Dembow GenreA fast two-step break and a growling bass
Signature: Two-step break“Make it house” is vague. “Four-on-the-floor kick, off-beat bass, piano stabs, sidechain pumping, 124 BPM” is a recipe. Learn the names of what you hear, and your prompts get the details right.
