Instrument
Used by the tuner, the fretboard diagrams and the note games. These apply to every game and tool. The instrument button at the top of every page changes the instrument, tuning and capo too.

Each instrument keeps its own tuning and game setups.

Each instrument keeps its own capo. Notes keep the names they sound as, and your progress stays with each fret. Fretboard Notes plays without a capo.

Automatic stands the neck up, nut at the top, when the window is taller than it is wide, as on a phone.

Audio input
The interface input your guitar is plugged into.
  • Plug the guitar straight into the interface's instrument (Hi-Z) input.
  • Pedals, amp sims and modelers in front of the interface make notes harder to detect. Distortion and long reverb are the worst.
  • With a modeler, send its dry DI signal to USB channels 1 or 2. Chrome reads only the first two channels of an interface.
Start audio
Start audio to pick the input and check levels.
Audio output
Where played notes and the metronome go, and how played notes sound. Automatic uses the output of the interface your guitar is plugged into, so headphones on the interface hear everything.
Latency calibration
Measures the delay between a click leaving your speakers or headphones and your playing reaching the app, so notes you play are timed the way you played them. Calibrate again after changing the interface, the output or its buffer size.

Not calibrated yet. Until then, timing uses the browser's own latency estimate.

Patch a cable from the interface's output to its other input. The app plays 20 clicks and times them on that input, which measures the devices alone. Turn your speakers or headphones down first.

Turn Direct Monitor off on your audio interface first (usually a button marked Direct or Direct Monitor, or a Mix knob turned all the way to Playback). With it on, the interface sends the cable's input straight back out, so the clicks loop and the calibration fails.

Appearance
