HITS: tap a hat: it plays and goes into the kit, in the slot of its kind, and a knob you turn on it goes there with it. the kit is the row at the top and is what the loop plays; the slot your hand is filling has a red foot. three keys make new things: NEW 16 on the deck is sixteen more of this kind and changes no slot, NEW KIT is every slot at once, NEW LOOP on the deck of the other tab is another loop for the same kit. BACK brings the last sixteen back. tap a slot of the kit for sixteen round it.

drag a plate anywhere along it. hold a word to read its number. a layer card plays that layer alone and opens its own plates: the last three are where it stands between the ears.

LOOPS: PLAY turns four bars of the kit. red is the kick, white are the hats: taller is louder, off its edge is early or late. tap a step to add a hit, tap again to turn it down and off. on a phone the grid shows half a bar: swipe it, or tap a bar.

a lane's name changes its hat and where the lane stands, DICE throws that lane alone, VARY moves it a little. the rows under the lanes are the two ears with the kick down the middle: a mark is where a lane is heard, and the wider the mark the wider the lane. a chip on THROW holds the dice to one thing and throws again; the loop goes on playing and the new one comes in on the next bar.

keys: space plays, 1 and 2 are HITS and LOOPS, 3 to 5 open the panes, D throws, Z and X step back and forward, K keeps, L throws sixteen near this hat, E saves what the deck's WAV saves. every wave and WAV drags into your daw. the kick is in no file.
