How it works

Practice color as a songwriting decision.

Move through the same loop the way a songwriter would: choose a familiar progression, build your own when needed, audition each color in context, then save the version that gives the song the right pull.

01

Choose a songwriter start

Open the built-in loop library, from Axis of Awesome to blues and jazz starts.

02

Build your own loop

Add major, minor, and seventh open chords with the chord picker.

03

Listen or play through

Hear the current chord or play the full progression at its saved BPM.

04

Tap and save colors

Use core colors first, then reveal More colors or Altered options when needed.
