Creating good music requires great talent, stuido and today also a lot of money since you have to buy a whole series of electronic instruments. Today, however, you can play online for free and without having to study music using virtual synthesizers with which to create backing tracks and bass accompaniments.
These online tools are fun pastimes for lovers of all musical genres but they can also be useful to professional musicians who need automatic backing tracks to accompany their music.
Some websites offer free applications that range from simple drum machines or bass machines to more advanced music studios capable of creating complete music .

Among the best sites to play online are:
1) The most advanced instrument of this kind is Audio Tool already mentioned in the list of sites to create techno and house electronic music online with virtual instruments and mixers .
It is a real music mixer that faithfully replicates the real ones.
You can create music from scratch or start from an already composed base.
Being a very realistic online program, it is also quite difficult to use if you don't know the equipment of the electronic mixers.
However, its operation is linked to a blue grid where each square represents a sound effect played.
After lighting a few squares, you can press Play and hear it play.
2) AudioSauna is another complete studio for playing on an electronic keyboard and adding all kinds of effects with a mixer.
This type of online instrument is suitable for those who already know how to really play and offers everything you can have from a professional synthesizer to make music, record it and mix it.
3) If Audio Tool is too complicated, you can immediately look at the BeatLab.com site
In this web application you can play online only by clicking with the mouse in the squares of the grid and then press on Play.
Each row corresponds to a different tool.
You can also add other instruments to the grid by clicking on the "Add More Sound" button at the bottom right and choosing from the thousands available.
If you register on the site with your Facebook account, you can save your compositions online so that other people can listen to them or to work on them later to improve it.
The grid can also be expanded to have more space and to make the melody longer.
You can certainly listen to the music created by other users of the site and use them to modify them.
4) Another excellent application for playing online is Music Shake
Music Shake allows you to play any kind of song : Jazz, Latina, Rock, Pop, Hiphop, Dance and others.
You can start from scratch or by choosing the genre and the time with which your music must play.
Finally you have to choose the instruments to work with to make them play according to the layout of the grid.
The sounds are recorded and correspond to even real instruments such as classical guitar, bass or drums.
You can also add choirs, already sung Rap pieces, violins, flutes, FX instruments and many others.
You can hear a preview of each before selecting.
The site requires free registration which becomes useful and essential also to save your music and the accompaniments created.
5) Salsa Beat Machine is a much happier site for playing Salsa and Merengue .
Music can be customized and changed by lowering the volume of individual instruments or turning them off completely. which instead allows you to play Latin music, Salsa, playing with the various instruments and the rhythm to dance.
You can also change the key with a knob and the tempo of the song.
6) Otomata is a simple experiment by a creative developer that allows you to create music by clicking on a grid.
You can also click at random and see how the music that plays always remains pleasant and variable.
7) Google Music Lab a collection of very fun and beautiful interactive musical experiments to see and play.
8) Jam with Chrome is a great site for playing guitar, bass, piano and drums, even in a group, with friends.
This latter site leads me to cite other posts where you can:
