Etude

🎶 Etude is a competitive multiplayer music improvisation game where players use MIDI instruments to perform together in real time. Think music as an e-sport.

Up to 6 players join a shared session where every note played contributes the Band Consensus. Each played or released note is a vote that shapes the consensus of allowed roots and scales - a breathing musical space of optionality. Stay within the consensus and others hear your notes; break it, and your notes won’t be heard.

🧠 Core Gameplay

• 🎹 Play with MIDI controllers in real time
• 🌀 Band Consensus is a living breathing harmonic space that evolves as you play
• ❌ Errors are visual only - your wrong notes won’t disrupt others' sound
• 📈 Symphonic Score: Like Elo, but for musical accuracy, timing, and leadership
• ⚖️ Control Ratio & Consensus Leadership prevent coasting or hogging notes 💤 / 📢

🕹️ Free Mode

Play without restrictions with your friends. Free Mode removes timers, scoring, and penalties - leaving only the shared harmonic space, ideal for relaxed jamming, practicing, testing ideas, or introducing new players at your own pace.
