Twelve equal divisions of the octave. Five staff lines. Octaves starting on C. But none of these are natural laws. Musizi lets you rebuild music from the inside. Redefine how an octave is divided. Explore alternative note spacing. Visualize harmonic ratios. Shape sound through overtone synthesis. Discover how small structural changes transform harmony. Music didn’t have to be the way it is. With Musizi, you can find out why.

About

Aether Jam

Features
Read full description

Aether is the simplest way to jam progressive and melodic house from your phone. Build a track as a stack of layers — Bass, Chords, Drums, and a live Lead — each started from a curated loop and tuned with friendly controls. No timeline, no clutter: just pick a sound and play. One synth, everywhere. A single wavetable engine powers Bass, Chords, and Lead. Morph the oscillator from sine to saw to square, sweep the filter, shape the envelope, and save your sound to a global library you can reuse on any layer. Play, don't program. The Lead is performed live on a scale-locked pad grid — every pad is in key, so there are no wrong notes. Hold several pads for chords, slide for glissando, and ride the one-finger filter-morph ribbon. The shimmer river. A shared shimmer-reverb send that any track can attach to or detach from with a tap — add lush, blooming octaves to exactly the tracks you want. Make it yours. • Swap loops, kits and chord progressions in one tap • Per-track volume faders and mute • Adjustable tempo, live • Transpose the bass, change the lead octave • Record your jam to a file and grab it from the Files app Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no data collected. Plug in headphones and start jamming.
