Very in-depth, easily usable. What a cool thing!
I was looking into DOS applications of a similar nature a few months back. This surpasses them all. Such a pleasant interface, truly a joy to interact with.
Really neat idea for a tool and it's amazing how many different instruments it is possible to create. If there would be a way to record and save a played song as an audio file, it would be absolutely incredible.
