Frequently Asked Questions

TeraMuse monitors your input (typing speed, heart rate, movement speed, etc.) and plays dynamic atmospheric music based on the intensity of your activity. It's like having a personal DJ that follows your mood, similar to a video game soundtrack adapting to gameplay.

Each .MUSE track contains multiple musical layers — ambient pads, bass, melody, rhythm, and more. TeraMuse blends these layers in real time based on your typing speed and activity. When you're typing fast, more layers activate and the music builds. When you slow down, it eases back to ambient textures. The transitions are seamless — no gaps, no hard cuts.
