Bounce

Bounce is a song sketchpad in your browser. Write a progression, put drums under it, track a scratch vocal and get the lyrics down. When the idea’s there, export stems and MIDI and finish it in your DAW.

Hit record and sing over the loop, with a count-in to get you in. Every take is kept, so you can pick the best one, trim its ends on the timeline, and stack harmonies on tracks of their own. A quick timing check keeps your takes in time with the track.
Each section gets its own lyrics, with its chords above them and a syllable count on every line to help with phrasing. The lyric sheet follows the playhead, so you always see the section you’re in.
Lay out verses, choruses and a bridge, reorder them by dragging, and reuse a section wherever it repeats. Modulate any section, like a key change into the last chorus, and see the form and length at a glance.
Build progressions from the diatonic chords, with 7ths, sus and borrowed chords a click away. Pick a sound, voicing and arpeggiator pattern.
Drum patterns from four-on-the-floor to half-time to drum & bass, with fills and a sparse, normal or busy feel for each section.
Open a template built on a progression everyone knows, from “Creep” to “I Feel Love”, and change it until it’s yours. Or start blank.
The full app works on a phone, with a chord pad and one-tap recording. Catch the idea when it turns up, then pick it up at your desk.
Bounce a WAV mix to share, or export stems and MIDI for Logic, Ableton, FL Studio or any DAW. Tempo and key come along, so everything lines up.
