Full guide
Building a loop
- Click a sound's name to add it. Click it again to remove it.
- Click the
▶ number to hear a sound without adding it.
- Drag the
⠿ handle or use the ▲ ▼ buttons to reorder.
Repeat modes
Open Settings and pick a repeat mode. There are four:
- Number of beats — plays a fixed number of beats, then stops.
- Duration — plays for a fixed number of seconds, then stops.
- Beat as group — each beat is one full loop. BPM becomes loops per minute.
- Duration as group — each beat is one full loop, and the run stops after a fixed number of seconds.
In the two group modes, each sound has a % field. It sets when inside the group the sound plays.
Tempo
Open BPM points to set the tempo.
- One BPM point: constant tempo. The run plays until you press Stop.
- Two or more BPM points: the tempo changes smoothly between them.
- The field between two BPM points decides how long the change takes. Its unit follows the current repeat mode.
Markers
Open Markers to add extra sounds or pauses.
- Start sound — plays once when you press Start. Add a delay to wait before the first beat.
- End sound — plays once when the run finishes on its own. Stop and Close silence everything immediately.
You can add any number of extra markers. Each has a type, a trigger, and a value:
- Type: Sound plays a sound; Wait pauses the run.
- Trigger: First fires once at the chosen position; Last fires once from the end; Each fires repeatedly.
- Value: counted in the current repeat mode's unit (beats, seconds, or groups).
A Wait accepts seconds (for example, 90) or minutes-seconds (for example, 1-30 for 1 minute 30 seconds).
