- Worth noticing
- Free use includes three monthly exports; each Bounce is a 30-second WAV, while Stems exports separate Drops.
Field notes
The control ring maps touch or mouse gestures to playback position and whichever parameter is selected; the keyboard shortcuts can add or mute Drops and start a Ride. The page also describes an archive that saves a soundscape after ten seconds without changes and can reopen it with its Drops and settings. Its stated free allowance is three exports per month, with each Bounce limited to 30 seconds.
