Synth

A very simple synth to make sounds with. Pick a waveform, turn the knobs, run cables between the modules and play the keys, with the mouse or the keyboard.

One oscillator, cabled through the filter and the envelope for you. Turn the knobs and play.

Scale

Press the cells to set notes, and press Play. The rows are the notes, the columns the steps, and the numbers below the beats of the bar. Press a note to hear it. The pentatonic cannot sound wrong; change the scale and the notes move to the nearest in the new one.
