Head Chef Jam Console with accompaniment and input recording controls

Roll a band

Chords, bass, drums and percussion arrive together, in a style, at a tempo, with a feel. Hold what you like, try another chord, and roll the rest again.

Play along and keep the pass

Plug in a guitar or a microphone, or put a keyboard on any Mini Bar sound. Record with a count-in whenever you like; Jam keeps the pass that surprised you, with its sounds and takes.

Build the song and finish it anywhere

Add sections, repeats and variations, play the whole form, then open the parts and takes as editable Studio tracks or export audio and MIDI for the DAW you already use.

Chord alternatives

One chord can change the direction.

Select a chord in the sequence to hear alternatives. Listen to one, then Keep change to rebuild the band around it or Revert to the original. Explore related chords by movement, by fifths or by voice-led paths between two chords, and transpose the whole progression in a click.

A small change can suggest a different melody. Follow it.
