Every option is clearly visible and at a mouse click away. Being an application that handles sound, it also provides an access point to system sound settings, in case you need to make quick adjustments. For the sake of a clean look, a few buttons with no functions can be found, just to fill in empty spaces.

Any change you make in tempo or beat can be saved as a program for later use. Up to 8 can be simultaneously loaded and played either in the main window or in full screen. There are 4 options by which you create a program, the starting tempo, the rate it increases by, how much it repeats and finally the beat in which it plays.
