Accompaniment Style Engine
A band beside your instrument. ModuMate accompanies whatever you play with drums, percussion, bass, chords and fills. Teacher or student, stage or street musician, a sıra gecesi or a friendly meşk session — pick your style and play your piece.
What does it do?
Accompaniment in three steps
No keyboard, just a box. The style engine sits next to your instrument; you play, it follows.
Give it the chord
From the panel, a pedal, a computer or a loaded song map. Bass, chord and fill parts move to that chord instantly; microtonal offsets rotate with the root.
Chrd. · Maj/Min · PedalDrive the sections
Run Intro → Main A-D → Fill → Ending with buttons or pedals. Transitions are bar- or beat-synced; a pending change blinks on the LED.
Intro · Var1-4 · Ending
Who is it for?
Wherever your instrument goes
From the lesson room to the wedding hall, a café corner to a seaside tea house: ModuMate fits on the table and stands in for the band.
Teachers and students
Real rhythm instead of a metronome. Students learn by hearing the chords; teachers slow the tempo in 1 BPM steps while the beat indicator counts the bar.
Home, garden house, jam
Tea on the stove, saz on the lap. Pick a song from the repertoire and let the chords advance by themselves; everyone sings along.
Weddings and engagements
A full backing from a single instrument: bass, drums, chords and fills driven by the pedals; Intro-to-Ending transitions stay bar-synced.
Café and street
A band that fits on a small table. Runs from a power bank, straight into a battery amp or mixer; no cable chaos.
Stage and club
Line-level L/R outputs, hands stay on the instrument with the 4-way footswitch. Microtonal tuning follows the chord root; saz and guitar tuning references built in.
Music schools and ensembles
Several instruments meet on one rhythm. Categories and ordering live on the SD card; a separate repertoire folder for every class.
Features
Responds like a real arranger
Per-channel chord-rule transposition: styles behave like the accompaniment section of a keyboard arranger, but fit in your pocket.
Real-time chord following
Bass, chord, pad and fill parts move instantly to the chord you play. Sustained notes glide smoothly to the new chord; short notes finish naturally.
Microtonal (koma) support
In Turkish-music styles the microtonal offsets are embedded in the style itself. Change the chord root and the offsets rotate automatically; nothing to set.
Full section flow
Intro 1-3, four variations, five fills, Ending 1-3. Bar- or beat-synced transitions; a pending change is shown on the LED.
Repertoire
Load a song's chord sequence from a .dsng file. Step through with a pedal or advance automatically per bar; transpose from the original key to any key.
One input, 4-way footswitch
Start/Stop, tap tempo, fill, variation, chord root, next chord, SFX… each footswitch button is assigned individually. Plug detection on the single DIN-5 pedal input.
SFX mode
Six buttons, six effect sounds: applause, siren, "Hay hay" and more. Triggered while the style keeps playing.
Full computer integration
One USB-C cable: USB MIDI device "ModuMate", USB disk mode (direct SD card access) and Creator mode for designing styles from your DAW.
Open and durable
Plain-text song format, SD card library, firmware updates over USB. No closed ecosystem; your files stay yours.
For Turkish music
Turkish music doesn't work with plain chords
In ModuMate styles, the microtonal (koma) offsets are embedded in the style; when the chord root changes, the offsets rotate with it. No setting, no button.
- Koma (scale tune) — per-channel microtonal offset (~50 cents) that can be switched on or off and rotates with the chord root.
- Aksak meters — time signatures such as 9/8, 7/8, 5/4 and 12/8; the beat indicator follows the meter.
- Tuning reference — Bağlama tuning, Bozuk tuning, Guitar (6 strings), Violin (4 strings). Master tune 415–466 Hz also shifts the reference.
- Halay, Zeybek and more — style library organised by SD card categories; add your own styles too.

NoteMicrotonal noteChord root
When the root moves from Am to Bm the backing parts shift; microtonal notes travel by the same interval. The drum channel stays put.
Repertoire & pedals
Write the song's chords once, let the device play them in order
Step with a pedal or advance automatically per bar; changing the key is a single setting. No need to change chords while your hands are busy.
Pedal functions
A 4-way footswitch unit connects to the single pedal input; each switch is assignable to one of 16 functions:
- Start / Stop
- Tap tempo
- Fill
- Variation
- Chord root
- Next chord
- SFX
- + more functions
The pedal input is a single 5-pin DIN socket; plug detection recognises the connected footswitch automatically. In song mode, the "Next chord" pedal steps through the chord sequence.

Software
Prepare the style on the computer, play it on the device
Two desktop applications share the device's chord engine: what you hear on the computer is what you hear on stage. Windows.
ModuMate Style Studio
Windows · Style builder- Builds device styles (
.drs+.cfg) from marker-tagged MIDI files. - Per-channel chord rules: role (Drum/Bass/Chord/Phrase/Pad), NTR, NTT, note limits, root limit, SFX bypass.
- The exact chord engine of the device compiled for PC: preview = device. RAM estimate, "PB/CC thinning", tick-overflow protection.
ModuMate Album Studio
Windows · Live control & repertoire- Connects over USB MIDI: SD style list, transport, tempo, section buttons, chord panel.
- Chord-sheet extraction and bar grid (Band-in-a-Box / iReal Pro style); variable meters, loop region.
- Live follow: sends grid chords to the device as it plays; pedal mode steps chords from a pedal. Save/open
.dsng.
Style Studio turns your MIDI file into a device style; Album Studio gives you song maps and live control. Both use the same engine as the device.
You don't need to know how to build styles
No DAW, no MIDI editing? No problem. Ready-made style (.drs) and repertoire (.dsng) files will be shared free of charge in the Downloads section, and the archive will keep growing. Download, copy to the SD card, play.
Mobile rig
The street is your stage
Rhythm by your side, music anywhere. No internal battery; an ordinary power bank is enough.
10+ hoursof continuous playing from a 5000 mAh power bank
- ModuMate + power bank + battery amp. Three pieces, one backpack; busking without hunting for a socket.
- One cable. USB-C carries power and data; AUX OUT feeds an amp or headphones.
- Low draw. About 290 mA at 5 V (1.5 W); a phone charger or a laptop USB port works too.
The 10-hour-plus figure was measured for ModuMate alone; the amp's runtime depends on its own battery.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which styles does it play?
The device plays .drs (dRS Style) files. Ready-made styles and repertoire files will be shared free in the Downloads section; you can also convert your own MIDI files to .drs with ModuMate Style Studio by adding section markers. The SD card holds more than 500 styles in category folders.
Do I need a computer?
No. ModuMate works standalone: style selection, chords, sections and tempo are all handled from the panel and pedals. Style Studio and Album Studio are optional, for building your own styles or controlling the device live from a computer.
I can't build styles or use a DAW — what then?
You don't have to. Ready-made style (.drs) and song chord map (.dsng) files will be offered free in the Downloads section. Just copy them to the SD card; the archive will grow over time.
What kind of pedal do I need?
The device has a single pedal input (5-pin DIN) for a 4-way momentary footswitch unit. Plug detection recognises it automatically; each of the four switches can be assigned one of 16 functions.
How do I update the firmware?
Over USB. Power the device on while holding INTRO; the screen shows "Update". Connect the cable to a computer and upload the new firmware.
Does it work with a Mac?
USB MIDI and USB disk mode, yes: the device appears on macOS as a standard "ModuMate" MIDI device and as a drive. The Style Studio and Album Studio applications are currently Windows only.
How does microtonal (koma) tuning work?
The offsets are embedded per channel in the style file and rotate with the chord root. You change the chord; the device moves the offsets to the new root automatically, with no extra setting or button.
