A new variation keeps every setting and changes the composition.

Mood

Mood is the key and mode in one control; Sound has them separately, with tempo, swing and the beat style.

Advanced: reproduce and share

Seed

Same variation and settings reproduce the same composition. The seed names the variation and is part of the share link.

The link carries the scene and seed. The selected section is not part of it.

Sound

Monitor level −14 dB Live playback, recorded takes and rendered files all follow it under Match playback; the three LUFS options in Export normalise away from it instead. The bar's small slider is the same control.

Fade out

The timer fades the live playback down and stops it. It stays on this device and is never part of a scene, a link or a render.

Frequency Lab

A two-ear tone is a pair of steady sine waves centred on the target frequency; the info buttons explain each control.

Size and memory

A stereo WAV of the tone pair alone, with 2 s fades. The Tone level shortcuts above set this file's level; progress and Cancel stay in the transport bar.

Stereo headphones are required for the binaural effect; on speakers both ears hear both tones.
Keep the volume comfortable. The tone is quiet by design; raise the music, not the tone.
Do not use attention-altering audio while driving or operating machinery.

Tone level: fine control

Tone level −26 dB The audible level of the tone pair: the live tone in integrated mode, relative to the music, and the level of a downloaded tone file in every mode. Not the beat value, not the tuning.

About the modes, the preset groups and the target

Off plays only the music. Integrated adds the two-ear tone at the chosen level and keeps the music out of both ear frequencies with a narrow cut at each. External plays no tone but keeps the same cuts, so a tone from another player can sit in them. Nothing here is a claim about what a listener experiences; it is level management between two audio sources.

Target frequency is the average of the two ear tones; the beat is the difference; the music tuning (A4 = 432 Hz) is separate. Nothing in this section changes that tuning, in any mode. Both ear tones stay between 40 and 1500 Hz, so the target's range narrows as the beat widens.

Target presets are grouped as symbolic (numbers with a lore attached, listed as conventions, no effect claimed), traditional (values common in published two-ear audio) and experimental (any value typed into the field). A 432 Hz target is not the A4 = 432 Hz music tuning: the nearest-note line compares the target with that tuning, it does not retune the music. Beat presets are grouped by EEG band name and range only.

Match playback gives a file the level the monitor slider is playing right now, for renders and live takes alike; it only ever turns a file down, never up. The three LUFS options deliberately normalise away from that for material that has to sit beside other tracks.
