Field notes
The interface brings the timeline, clip launcher, piano roll, tracker, drum kit, instrument rack, and mixer into one window, with up to 32 tracks per song. Its built-in 38-page manual works offline; the site also lists MIDI, CLAP, and VST3 support, and the 0.2.17 notes describe an export fix that stops WAV/MP3 renders at the song’s end. The page links to installers, source, build instructions, and file-by-file technical documentation.
