CODA by LabAMI is a tuner, a metronome, and a practice journal built for the hours nobody else sees. Tune against a live reference tone in your instrument's own register, not wherever the nearest sample happens to sit. Keep time with a metronome that holds steady whether you're running scales or working through phrases bar by bar. When something's worth keeping, one tap catches it. Every take lands in your Audio Diary: a running record of your practice, not just today's session, but all of them. Scroll back in a month and hear exactly how far you've progressed. Behind it all is a visualizer that moves with what you play, not against it. Seven themes, from a slow orbital drift to sparks off a plasma core, turn practice into something you want to sit with for an hour. Built for students working through a method book, teachers sharpening their skills or sharing with students, and professionals keeping their pitch in tune between gigs. Select your instrument and CODA auto sets transposition and tone, so a French horn player and a flutist both get a reference pitch that actually matches the key they're playing in. Bring it with you. Built for the music stand, in the studio or during a lesson. Prep an audition or your next live performance.
