Etude is a competitive multiplayer music improvisation game where players use MIDI instruments to perform together in real time. Think music as an e-sport.
Up to 6 players join a shared session where every note played contributes the Band Consensus. Each played or released note is a vote that shapes the consensus of allowed roots and scales - a breathing musical space of optionality. Stay within the consensus and others hear your notes; break it, and your notes won’t be heard.
Core Gameplay
Play with MIDI controllers in real time
Band Consensus is a living breathing harmonic space that evolves as you play
❌ Errors are visual only - your wrong notes won’t disrupt others' sound
Symphonic Score: Like Elo, but for musical accuracy, timing, and leadership
⚖️ Control Ratio & Consensus Leadership prevent coasting or hogging notes /
️ Free Mode
Play without restrictions with your friends. Free Mode removes timers, scoring, and penalties - leaving only the shared harmonic space, ideal for relaxed jamming, practicing, testing ideas, or introducing new players at your own pace.
