How to use this experience

Watch and listen

The visible shapes express musical behaviour. Connect what you see with what you hear instead of looking for a single correct answer.

Explore effectively

  • Begin with the suggested settings.
  • Change one setting at a time and observe its effect.
  • Compare several configurations and remember the useful contrasts.
