Pick a part

AI source separation splits the song into its instrument stems: vocals, bass, drums, guitar, piano, and anything else. Pick the one you want to learn.

Slow it down

Practice your part at slow speed, then progressively speed up as you learn it. Pitch-shift to match your instrument's tuning or your vocal range.

Lock to the beat

AI beat detection finds the tempo and downbeats, providing an intelligent metronome and count-in that follow the song's natural rhythm.

Loop and drill

Set loop points to drill specific phrases. Snap loop points to detected beats. Hold notes to aid tuning and chord finding.

Play along

Once you know the part, switch modes: hear the full mix minus your instrument and play along, like karaoke for any instrument.

Made for practice

Speed and pitch changes apply instantly with no playback pause. AI runs on your computer—no cloud, no subscription. Free and open source.
