Field notes
The instrument maps eight sounds to both touch controls and the A, S, D, F, J, K, L, and semicolon keys, then adds tempo, metronome, effects, and recording controls. Its loop library includes South Asian kaharwa and dadra patterns alongside cumbia, a steady four-on-the-floor pulse, and broken beat. The sequencer distinguishes 16-step and 12-step cycles, while saved patterns remain in the current browser.
