HOW IT WORKS • One person creates an ensemble in Scale Navigator Dashboard where they control harmonic state (ie current scale and chord) • Others join the ensemble from their phone or tablet via Ensemble Jammer and stay in sync with the harmonic state in real time • Changes are shared instantly • Every instrument updates in real time PLAY TOGETHER Each player can use the harmony in their own way.
