Web app

cori's player is built for practising, not just listening. Every song carries separate tracks for each voice part, so you can turn your own voice up, slow a tricky passage down and follow along — all from one screen. This guide gives you the overview and points to the deeper guides for each feature.

Open a song

1

Find your setlist

Go to Setlists and open the setlist you're rehearsing. A setlist is just the collection of songs your choir is working on.

2

Start a song

Tap or click a song to start it. The player opens at the bottom of the screen — on mobile, pull it up to see the full controls; on the web it expands into the bar along the bottom.

Open a setlist and pick a song to start the player.

Player controls

1

Play, pause and seek

Use the central play / pause button to start and stop. Drag the timeline to jump to any point, or use the 15-second skip buttons to nudge back and forth.

2

Move between songs

The previous and next buttons step through the songs in your setlist, so you can run a whole programme without leaving the player.

Choose and balance your voices

Open the Mixer tab to control which voice parts you hear. The quick presets let you switch in one tap between Own voice, Own voice louder and All voices. Tap a voice to mute or solo it, and use its slider to set the exact volume.

Learning your part

Start with Own voice louder so your line sits on top of the others, then switch to All voices once you're confident and want to blend in.

The mixer: presets, per-voice mute and volume sliders.

Change the tempo

Use the Speed control to slow a song down while you learn the notes — the pitch stays the same, so everything still sounds in tune. Wind it back up to full tempo as you improve.

Loop a tricky passage

The Repeat button cycles through repeat options. Set it to repeat the current track to drill a difficult bar over and over without reaching for play each time.

Seek, skip, repeat and speed controls in the full player.

What's next?

Go deeper on the mixer in Mixing voices and stereo panning.
Switch between audio and the score with Playback and sheet music.
