Moment 1
Prepare the service
Browse the hymn library, build the service schedule, and set the right preset strategy before anyone arrives.
Features
Built for planning, playback, and learning in the same product.
This page is the main landing experience for visitors without an active subscription. It should quickly show why Sound of Hymns is useful in real church workflows, not just list isolated features.

Inside the app
Four feature areas carry most of the real work.
Home
Service scheduling that matches real church workflows
The Home page is a preparation workspace for hymn order, event details, schedule defaults, and song-specific notes.
- Search the hymn library by title or number.
- Build and reorder a schedule for each service.
- Assign default presets at the schedule level and override them per song when needed.
Player
A live-use player designed to stay calm under pressure
The Player page is the control surface for rehearsal and service playback, not a generic media screen.
- Play, pause, stop, rewind, repeat, and move between songs.
- Adjust tempo, transpose, EQ, and playback flow in real time.
- Open instrument settings instantly when the internal organ is active.
Learn
Learn mode for singers, accompanists, and sectional work
Notation, keyboard, and piano roll views make it easier to answer different rehearsal questions without leaving the same app.
- Follow the hymn in sheet music view.
- Use keyboard view to understand pitches and chord shapes.
- Use piano roll view to inspect note lengths, alignment, and releases.
Organ
Preset handling that supports consistency, not just sound design
Sound of Hymns treats organ sounds as reusable baselines across global defaults, schedules, and individual songs.
- Factory and user presets support practical starting points.
- The active preset is visible in the footer during playback.
- A visible dirty-state marker helps operators know when sound settings have drifted.
For worship leaders and church organizers
Build service orders ahead of time, keep hymn playback dependable, and reduce last-minute scramble on Sunday.
- Prepare schedules before the service.
- Choose default organ sounds for the whole service or a single hymn.
- Keep transport and playback controls available from anywhere in the app.
For choir singers and sectional leaders
Use Learn mode to isolate SATB parts, slow difficult entrances, and reinforce rhythm visually.
- Sheet music, keyboard, and piano roll support in one place.
- Tempo control for rehearsal and memorization.
- Part-focused practice that reduces visual clutter.
For organ learners and accompanists
Practice with notation, shape registrations with presets, and move from study to service-ready playback.
- Internal organ and piano sounds are available immediately.
- Preset workflows support repeatable registration choices.
- Player and Learn views support both practice and live preparation.
Subscriber layer
The website is also being shaped as the account layer around the desktop app.
Subscription access, downloads, future hymn and schedule management, and desktop membership validation are already part of the current web architecture.
