Pattern Grid
Place colored shapes on the grid to build your music. Red circles might be drums, blue squares might be piano, green triangles might be strings. Move shapes up

Emotion Journal
After creating music, use the emotion tools to name how you feel. Pick from emotion cards or use the color-based mood tracker. Your journal saves your feelings
Pattern Library
Save your favorite patterns and come back to them anytime. Browse patterns you have made before and remix them into something new.
