Sound · twenty-two ways in
Make it, play it,
or just listen.
or just listen.
Every music property on the estate: instruments that synthesise their own sound, a turntable, a sheet-music engraver, a tuner that listens through the microphone, a world radio dial, and five era collections holding five thousand tracks between them. All of it runs in the browser, and nothing you drop into any of it is uploaded anywhere.

Laband
A platter you drag by hand
Pitch and tempo on separate dials, a brake that slows like a motor, and a platter the audio follows wherever your hand goes.
Audio
Drop your own files and DJ them
Your own tracks played from 0.1× to 4× with pitch shift, twenty-odd effects, a queue, scratch and tape stop, nothing installed.

It listens, and tells you how far off
Play one string and read its note, octave, frequency and cents off true, with targets for ten tunings and an adjustable A4.
Sing
The note you are on, and how true
Sing into the microphone and see your note, how many cents sharp or flat you are, and your pitch over the last ten seconds.

Your lowest and highest steady notes
Hold your lowest and highest steady notes and read your range in notes and semitones beside six conventional voice types.
