Keyboard and direct controls
The ten playable figure parts are tracks 0–9. Press number keys 0–9 to play the matching sound when focus is not inside a form field. Tab reaches the transport, tempo field, grid buttons, Click, Groove, Output, figure pads, sequencer cells and Mute checkboxes. A focused figure pad can be played with Enter or Space.
Press M to toggle mute for the currently selected track. Press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z for Undo. Sequencer cells are real buttons with on/off state and spoken track/step labels. Mute controls are native checkboxes. Native range and number controls keep their normal browser keyboard behavior.
Timing and visual alternatives
The sequencer includes bar labels and a seconds scale in addition to the animated playhead. The selected track is named in text, and Mute is reflected in both the track row and the matching figure pad. The separate How it works guide explains BPM, 4/4 bars, quarter/eighth grids and groove with text and diagrams.
Motion and sound
No sound starts just because you open or read the page; audio begins after a user action. System Reduced Motion is respected for non-essential face animation. Reduced Motion does not alter the audio timing or musical pattern. Start at a comfortable speaker or headphone level and use the Output control if needed.
Known limits
The mascot and playhead use visual animation, so not every expressive cue has a screen-reader equivalent. The core controls and sequencer states have semantic button/checkbox labels, but this package does not claim WCAG or EN 301 549 conformity. Device and assistive-technology behavior still needs user testing on the final hosted site.
