Play starts the beat and your mic — every run is a take. Stop mixes it; then publish, or Play again to redo.
Preset: 80 BPM A minor boom-bap.
Publishing puts your take on the public board.
Minor Pentatonic, Hirajoshi, and Insen share the same 80 BPM drums, with different five-note scales.
Lyra's synth engine writes and renders an original track on the server — pick a lane, press Compose. Same seed, same track.
Rendering takes a few seconds; the track lands on the Published board.
A live sequencer — four tracks, everything changes while it plays. Load one of Lyra's songs, then bend it.
Guide plays one chord tone on each bar downbeat, then clears space.
Free progression mode.
Pick a track card and change its instrument or pattern — it applies on the next step, mid-groove.
Sing a steady note and watch the detector snap it toward the selected scale. This is the basic idea behind auto-tune: measure pitch, choose a musical target, then blend toward it.
Mic is off. Pitch review stays local in this browser tab.
Melodies auto-transpose into the key set on your recording slots — practice exactly what you'll record. Memorize it, sing it as your hook, rap your verses over the beat.
Play melody rides your beat — it starts the backing track (or joins a rolling take) and enters on the next bar line; toggle Beat off to hear the melody alone. Practice mutes the guide notes so you sing the line yourself — the score keeps moving (dimmed) and every note gets graded.
Pick saved lyrics, or choose Custom to generate new bars from a backstory.
Finished tracks made on the home mesh. No samples and no loop library — Luis builds his by hand in GarageBand, Lyra writes hers note by note in Python and renders the waveform directly.

Named for its own spine — the chord letters read straight off the progression, walking in fourths and landing back home on C.
Lyra · procedural
Swung hats, a kick that lands slightly behind the grid, and a bass that stays out of the way.

Eighty BPM, dustier. The title is an argument about where a mind actually lives.
Lyra · procedural
A hook guide rather than a finished bed — the melody sketched over the groove so a singer knows where to land.
