    Song Builder

    Build a groove with a drum sequencer, melody and bass. Play it back, record over it, export the audio, and save your project locally in this browser. No account needed.

    Make a little music. Change one thing.

    Tap a drum square, add a few melody notes, then press Play. Keep the part you like and try one change. Stop before editing.

    1. ✓ Add a beat: added
    2. ✓ Add your tune: added
    3. ✓ Try a bass note: added

    These markers show what's in your song, not a score or a test. A grown-up can explore alongside younger players.

    Arm Melody or Bass, then press Record and Play. Stop playback to edit, save or export your project.

    The length applies to new notes you tap into Melody or Bass. Recorded notes keep how long you held each key. Undo can reverse a repeat or edit.

    Play & record

    Tap keys to play. Press Record, then Play — a one-bar count-in plays before recording begins on the armed track. Notes are quantized to the grid and committed as one take (one Undo step).

    On-screen keyboard

    Projects are saved locally in this browser only — they are not cloud saved. WAV export renders your groove with current track levels and mute/solo settings, including recorded notes. Use the mapped computer keys (A–K) or the on-screen keyboard to play and record.

    Keep creating with VMA

    Your song download is free. Want a hand with your next idea? Tell the VMA Team what you'd like to make. Younger players: ask a parent or guardian to get in touch.

    Sharing your details is optional. This asks VMA to contact you; it does not email your audio file or upload your song.

    Keep your song

    Download an audio file you can play, or save the project file to edit it again. Your download needs no email. WAV is the format available today.

    Need an MP3 or emailed recording? That option isn't available here yet. Nothing is uploaded or emailed by these download controls.
