Chords drift down a lane; hear the lowest one and drop it into the bin that matches its quality before the lane overflows.

How to play
Chords fall down a single lane with the lowest, most urgent chord highlighted. Play it, judge its quality by ear and by its notes, then send it to the matching bin. Wrong bins cost points, and any chord that reaches the top ends the run; clearing chords raises the level and adds new qualities.
Hear the active chord, then choose its quality bin
Qualities include major, minor, diminished, augmented and the seventh chords
Combos boost your score; mistakes and an overflow end the run
Controls
Desktop: press Space to hear the chord and number keys 1-7 to sort into bins; or click Hear chord and the bin buttons
Phone & tablet: tap Hear chord and the quality bins
Game modes

Tips & strategy
Listen for the third and fifth, major and minor split on the third, diminished and augmented on the fifth
Sort the highlighted chord fast; letting it rise eats the time you need for the ones behind it
