[[Category:Software]]
You can easily create short tunes, and expirement in your web browser.
 
It's also easily accessible on school computers, so you can make songs anywhere!
 
== CONS ==
It can't do harmony, and it only uses a muffled triangle wave.
 
It's also stuck in 4/4, unless you want a slow, but swingy feel.
