Start with one interaction
Most browsers prevent websites from playing sound automatically. If you do not hear audio immediately, click or tap a key, pad, button, or deck first. This user interaction gives the browser permission to start the audio engine.
Choose the correct instrument page
Use the header menu to open Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Turntable, or Sound FX. Each page is focused, and keyboard shortcuts only respond to the active studio page. This prevents the Piano from playing while you are using the Drums page, or the Sound FX pads from triggering on a different instrument page.
Use presets intentionally
Every instrument includes presets. Presets change the tone, envelope, texture, effect behavior, or playing style. For practice, start with a clean preset. For creative exploration, try lo-fi, cinematic, analog, or wide-space options.
