Drop in a song and get its chords, key and tempo on a beat-locked
timeline — then play it in your key, at your speed, with the shapes under your fingers.
These are the studio's own controls, running on a sample loop. No file,
no account, nothing to install — drag them and see what they do to a song.
01
Transpose
Too high to sing? Move the whole song until it sits where your voice does.
Live
A minororiginal key
Notice the spelling change — go up one and you are in B♭ minor, so it
is G♭ and D♭, not F♯ and C♯. In the studio the recording moves with you: the
audio is pitched into the new key while the tempo stays exactly where it was, so the
grid still lines up. Three semitones either way.
02
Slow it down
Take the tempo off until your hands can keep up.
Am
1.00×96 BPM
The count, the chord changes and the whole grid slow down together.
Pitch stays exactly where it is — a song at half speed is still in the same
key, just slow enough to learn.
03
The beat grid
Not a list of chords — a map of the song. Every block is as wide as the chord
is long, over the song's own bar lines.
Playing Am
Lasts 5.0s
Bar 1 · beat 1
drag to scrub
Two bars of A minor is a wide block; the last two changes are half a
bar each and look it. In the studio the bar lines come from the song's own beats, so
the 1-2-3-4 holds through a quiet intro — and tapping a block jumps the audio there.
04
Capo
Same song, easier shapes. Slide the capo along the neck and watch the barre
chords turn into ones you already know.
Live
No capo
You finger E — it sounds as E.
Try fret 4: the song still sounds in E, but you are playing
C, G, Am and F. The studio prints exactly this above the chords, so you always
know which one you are looking at.
05
Your instrument
Pick a chord. Pick an instrument. That is the fingering.
Majors, minors, sevenths, sus, sixths, diminished and augmented — on
every root. In the studio this is the chord playing right now, with the next one
beside it and a countdown to the change.
In the studio
The rest of the practice room.
The parts you cannot fit in a demo box, but reach for the moment you sit
down with a song you actually want to learn.
Section looping
Ring the two bars you keep fluffing and play them round and round until you don't.
A click on the song's own beats
Not near the beat — on it. The metronome is placed on the same grid the chords sit on.
Count-off
Four beats before it starts, so you come in on one instead of chasing it.
Song and click, separately
Bring the track down and the click up while you learn it, then swap them back.
MIDI export
Take the detected chords into your DAW as a MIDI file and build on them.
