Chord Degrees

Above the workspace, Chord Degree buttons represent notes in the key and scale, color-coded by tension: blue (chord notes), green (moderate tension), yellow (high tension).

Add a Workspace

Click + to add more workspace sections.

Editing tools

The three main MIDI editing tools are Move, Pencil, and Brush: Move lets you drag notes manually, Pencil allows you to draw notes, and Brush quickly adds rows of notes using the Snap resolution.

Rhythm Presets

Choose from a variety of genres, each with plenty of patterns—a great starting point for crafting amazing basslines.

Magic Record

Magic Record allows you to use your computer keyboard, or MIDI keyboard, to play and record notes in real-time.

Load your presets

Press Load Preset to select a preset and choose which elements to load: chords, rhythm, sound, or all.

Ghost Notes

Ghost notes show chord notes on the canvas, helping you align your bassline with the chords’ timing, rhythm, and melody. Chord names are displayed at the bottom for reference.

Chords Tab

This tab lets you resize, delete, or split chords to adjust the timing of your progression.

Rhytms Tab

This tab lets you split progressions into sections and apply different rhythm presets, creating more variety and interest.

Velocity Tab

On this tab you’ll find the velocity control for each chord and individual chord notes. Velocity is important for adding a human touch to how your chords are played, so try to add some variation here and some accents.

Use the Tension tab to shape your bassline by note tension. Colors indicate tension: blue (chord notes), green (moderate tension), yellow (high tension), and red (out of scale).
