Field notes
The workspace is organized around a sixteen-step bar: lit steps play, and the page points to kick placement as a way to inspect a groove. Blocks can be dragged, undone, and combined into beats, recipes, and songs. Eleven short field-note playgrounds cover ideas such as swing, chords, and sound shape; the site says they take five minutes and need no sign-up. Paid tiers are described, but the page says they are not open yet.
