# Modes lab

Interactive page: [`modes-lab.html`](modes-lab.html). The seven modes are written out on
[Modes](modes.md).

Pick a **root** and a **mode**, then press **Play mode**. The keyboard lights the notes, and
the formula, quality, signature note, and feel appear under it. Playback is one note per beat
at the metronome's tempo. Comparing modes from the same root is the fastest way to hear the
difference.
