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.
Listening journal
Events: 0

Records chord/scale plays and global output tone groups (tones + intervals only).

Advanced audio
Generate and preview band-style accompaniment for chord-grid playback.
RX

Use advanced audio settings as the playback source for chord-grid clicks, test chord charts, and inspect the generated accompaniment.

Harmony chords stay unchanged.
Uses JolyEngine sounds; harmony and bass stay unchanged.
Shift the preset runner shape by this amount after each full preset pass. Example: 1 runs the preset, then the same preset shifted by one step, then again by one more.
Multi-track engines
Route each generated JolyEngine track with the shared engine form while autoplay is active.
