Field notes
Tonkro explains its proposed workflow as a progression from a small melody to rhythm, sound character, and a finished loop. The homepage includes an eight-step drum sequencer running at 85 BPM, note controls using C, E♭, F, G, and B♭, and named sound elements including Brass, Spool, Coil, Chime, and Rumble. Product sections identify sampling, effects, modulation, performance pads, and a playable keyboard, while the iPad app remains labeled a development build.
