Keyboard SynthesizerA drawn synthesizer that really plays. Hold its 20 keys with the mouse, touch or your keyboard, switch between sine, square, saw and triangle waves, and watch the sound on its oscilloscope. It names the chord you hold, counts the half-steps between notes, lights up any major scale, and keeps time with a metronome.Open the live explorable (opens in a new tab)
