How it works

Three steps from table to track.

  1. 1

    Print the mat

    Download the free A4 mat and print it on any printer. Black and white is fine.

  2. 2

    Prop up your phone

    A tripod or a stack of books. Point the camera at the mat and Plonk finds it in seconds.

  3. 3

    Plonk your chips

    Every chip is a hit. Slide one along and the beat changes while it plays.

10 instruments

From kick drums to synth leads.

Lock one layer, switch instrument, and plonk the next part on top. Melodies always stay in key.
