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.

Rifflet turns a short music idea into a playable lesson. Type a prompt, generate a local sound, pick Piano, Guitar, or Ukulele, follow the notes as keys or tab, hear local instrument playback, and save or share the riff card. The app is intentionally simple: local audio generation, coach tips, saved riff ideas, piano playback, and guided practice views. It does not require an account, network login, or cloud AI key.
