BeatForge

BeatForge sits in the **creative-studio cluster** alongside HarmonyForge / MotifLab / SoundSphere — all 4 shipping distributed-narrative casts in.

Make a beat

Your studio — place beats on a four-instrument grid, set the tempo, and play the loop. Switch to the circular wheel view to see the rhythm as a circle, and turn on counting to read it out loud. Works with the sound off.

Beat Studio A step-sequencer with a circular rhythm wheel and count-along syllables (1 e & a · ta-ka-di-mi). Nothing is saved anywhere but your own device. Melody Studio Build a tune on a pitched grid. In pentatonic mode there are no wrong notes — everything sounds good — then switch to the full scale. Rhythm Coach Fill the measure to four beats, and echo back rhythms you hear or see. A hint is always there after a first try. Tempo Trainer A visual metronome with a swing slider you can see — plus a tap-the-beat drill that tells you if you're on time, early, or late.

Learn about music

16 question rounds — rhythm, melody, notation, instruments, theory, history, and more. A hint is always there when you want one. Take them in any order.
