The interface

On the left is the sidebar with every device, grouped into Studio, Generators, Knowledge, Label and System. Each device has a colour and a key: press G for the Loop Generator, C for the Chord Lab, 1 for the dashboard — as long as no input field is focused.

Beginner or expert

At the top right of the header bar you switch between Beginner and Expert (also under “Setup & start”). In beginner mode every page explains in three steps what the device does, advanced controls sit behind “More options”, and technical terms show an explanation on hover — a click opens the glossary with 66 terms. In expert mode everything is visible and compact.

The frame: genre, tempo, key

Almost every device starts with the same frame: genre, tempo (BPMBPMBeats per minute — the tempo. House usually sits at 120–128, drum & bass at 170–176.More in the handbook →) and keyKeyRoot note plus mode, e.g. A minor. All devices are key-aware so parts fit together.. When you switch devices, they carry the frame along — so the bassline from the Bass Lab fits the chords from the Chord Lab.
