Now, if that's a little too fast, I could slow it down by using this tempo meter over here. So if I wanted to create a melody, I would go like this. You can change the length of the measures and the beats and the subdivisions in the settings. Each section or each measure here is a different shade, so it separates everything for you, so you can see it a little bit better. The grid is sectioned by half beats or eight notes here.

And then the subsequent notes will be played left to right. Now that's pretty cool and if I press this play button over here, all these notes will be played at once. And if you click all these pitches in order starting on this note right here, the C, you get all the natural notes just shy of two octaves. Then I realized that these are all different pitches in these boxes. When I first saw this layout, I had no idea what I was looking at, so I just started clicking around the screen like this. It kind of looks a little weird, right now, but it'll look a little bit more friendly by the end of the article.

Okay, so here is our chrome music lab song maker grid. Chrome Music Lab Song Maker - Basic Interface
