layers
The page, taken apart
MACHINE plays a techno pattern while the page comes apart into its layers.
machine
Three tracks and a scope
Drums, bass and an arpeggiated lead on one step grid, with four scenes per track. INSPIRE writes a new pattern in the style you pick.
jam
The chord now, the chord next
The neck lights the tones of both chords, so the note they share is visible before you need it.
build
Songs you can take apart
BUILD holds the arrangement: sections, progressions, feel, and a level for each instrument.
JAM is a band that plays the song while a fretboard shows what to play over it. MACHINE is a three-track groovebox.
Songs are written in scale-relative chords, so the whole arrangement follows whatever key you pick. A drill raises the tempo every time round.
MACHINE's drums are synthesized and its bass is acid-style.
The band's sound gets tested blind. A sound lab renders the real engine offline and serves loudness-matched A/B pages, and some replacements lose.
