Landing Page

  • Explore features via the Discover button, which opens the Builder.

Builder

  • Starts with a blank project and auto-adds a pinned Timing widget.
  • Use the Add Widget bar to add a Metronome (more widgets coming).
  • Reorder or remove widgets using the hover controls on each widget.
  • Global transport controls in the header: Play/Stop button. Press Spacebar to toggle playback.

Timing Widget

  • Controls project tempo (BPM) and time signature (e.g., 4/4, 7/8, 13/16).
  • Tempo slider has high contrast and updates sound live as you drag.
  • Time signature inputs accept empty state, so you can delete and retype seamlessly; values apply on blur or when valid.

Metronome Widget

  • Uses the project BPM and time signature to generate clicks.
  • Syncs to the global transport (no separate Start/Stop inside the widget).
  • Grid is derived from the current signature to provide musical subdivisions (e.g., 4/4 → 16th grid, 12/8 → 8th grouping).
  • Click the step bars to set accent levels: 0 Silent, 1 Subtle, 2 Medium, 3 Strong. Changes apply instantly.
  • Presets available: Quarter feel, Eighth feel, Bar only.
