Improvise every day,
with your band always ready.
Practice improvisation with a band that's always ready, without depending on other musicians or a teacher. Start from a large shared repertoire of standards and make it your own — customize the chords, create your versions, organize and export — then play over it in any key and tempo, even offline.
Practice improvising, whenever you want
Learning to improvise shouldn't depend on the availability of other musicians or a teacher. With Ziricote you have a band that's always ready to practice with: put the language into practice on your repertoire and build your improvisational vocabulary, any time.
Practice whenever you want
The band is ready around the clock: practice without gathering anyone and without waiting for the next lesson or jam.
Experiment with the language
Try phrases, scales and ideas over the changes, loop the tricky passages and refine your phrasing song after song.
Build your vocabulary
Every practice session adds a piece: your improvisational vocabulary grows with you, on your own repertoire.
Start from the shared repertoire and make it your own
Open a standard from the shared catalog and customize it: fix the chords, create your version, define the form of the tune — or start from scratch with a chart entirely your own. Organize everything into playlists and export whenever you like: your study material stays yours.
Create and compose your charts
Enter the chords and define the form of the tune — sections, repeats, endings. Build your arrangement bar by bar.
Writing is already studying
Putting the chords on a chart makes you analyze the harmony as you enter it: every tune you write is a study exercise.
Organize into playlists
Collect your tunes into playlists for the rehearsal or the gig, so your repertoire is ready when you need it.
Export and take it with you
Export them in an open format (MusicXML) that other music programs can read: your arrangements aren't trapped inside one app.
The always-ready band to practice with
The band is the means to practice improvisation without having to gather other musicians: Ziricote doesn't play back a recorded track — it reads your chord chart and generates the accompaniment — bass, piano comping and drums — in over 100 styles, in your key and at your tempo. So you always have someone to play with.
Bass, piano and drums
Generate bass, piano comping and drums from your chord chart, in over 100 styles: swing, bossa, funk, waltz, blues and more. Adjust the volume of individual instruments to bring piano, bass or drums to the front.
Chords always in view
Chord diagrams for guitar, bass and piano with the right fingerings. The chord being played is always highlighted: you always know what to play, even while you're still learning the tune.
Transpose, change tempo, loop
Transpose to any key with a tap, change tempo without altering the pitch, isolate and loop the hardest section. Everything works offline, on stage as on the subway, with no connection needed.
Where the accompaniment meets your repertoire
The band gives you someone to play with, your repertoire gives you what to play over: together they're your daily gym for improvisation. You create and organize your tunes and use them as material to practice the language on — every day, always at hand.
From cool jazz to reggae
The shared repertoire you start from
It's the common ground everyone practices on: a large repertoire of standards that the community curates, corrects and organizes, and that grows and improves over time. Open one, customize it and make it your own — the terrain to train your improvisation on.
