Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about chord progressions, backing band mixing, and practicing with our chord player.

Q: What is an interactive chord player and how does the backing band work?

Our online chord player functions as a virtual accompaniment band. When you input a sequence of chords, the audio engine coordinates real acoustic piano voicings, steel-string acoustic guitar strumming, electric bass roots, and drum grooves to play your custom chord progression in a continuous, tempo-locked loop.

Q: Can I mute individual instruments to practice my own playing?

Yes. The built-in mixer console allows you to mute any instrument by clicking its [M] button. For example, guitarists can mute the acoustic guitar track to practice rhythm strumming over piano, bass, and drums, while pianists can mute the piano track to practice comping.

Q: How are the acoustic guitar and piano chord voicings arranged?

Rather than stacking raw notes in a single octave, our engine uses professional voice-leading algorithms. The piano voice combines a deep bass root in the low register with an open triad in the middle register, while the acoustic guitar applies humanized strum offsets (20-30ms) to deliver an authentic, resonant acoustic timbre.

Q: How do I customize time signatures and chord extensions (7th, sus4, add9)?

Click on any chord block in the progression timeline to open the chord builder. You can change the root pitch across all 12 semitones and select between Major, Minor, Dominant 7th, Major 7th, Minor 7th, Suspended 4th, Diminished, and Add9 chord qualities with instant real-time audio auditioning.

Q: Does the backing band chord player work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes. The chord timeline, chord builder, and mixer console are 100% responsive and touch-friendly. You can arrange chord progressions, adjust faders, and jam along seamlessly on iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS, and Windows devices without downloading any software.
