Features we didn't find anywhere else.
Playaround Jams
Pass the spotlight from player to player. The card on screen shows who is playing now and who is up next, by turn, timer or bars.
Audio and MIDI Looper
Loop yourself live, recorded after your effects, locked to a bar clock the drums follow, and run from a footswitch.
Tools Built for Musicians
Chord charts that transpose, lead sheets in Nashville numbers, set lists, a drum sequencer and a MIDI piano roll, all on stream.
Two Audio Channels
Channels A and B, each with its own effects, loudness target and meters, plus your Audio Unit plugins.
Game Shows From Chat
Viewers answer A to D in chat. Per-player scoring, timed rounds and a live leaderboard, in 76 themes.
Rankings and Tier Lists
Reveal a tier list one item at a time while chat argues about it.
Where we're behind
- We stream to YouTube only. The others also stream to Twitch and custom destinations.
- Windows hasn't shipped yet.
