Ways to listen

From your collection to a cascade of notes.

Find a favorite, choose a sound, or spend more time with a passage you love.

01 / BLACK MIDI

Bring very large Black MIDI along.

Add densely packed Black MIDI to your library and listen with the sound you choose. Open the full-screen waterfall to watch the music unfold from top to bottom.

See all 128 MIDI pitches. Pause to keep the current picture, resume to let it flow again, or seek to the passage you want to hear.
