Root Shuffling
The root jumps to a new pitch periodically during gameplay — the same noteset is reseated on a fresh root, building the ability to summon the noteset by its type from any root. This makes playing in any key trivial.
Mixolydian on mandolin, by ear
Hear a phrase from the mixolydian and play it back on the mandolin here — then on yours. The root moves each round; press Play, and answer with Space when you have it. The browser only plays — the app listens.
Mixolydian
A major mode with a flat 7th — bluesy and laid-back
Mixolydian is a major major mode with a flat 7th — bright like major but with a bluesy, laid-back edge. The ♭7 adds a raw, earthy quality, and makes it the natural home of the dominant 7th chord.
