Confidence Indicator

See how reliable the detection was before committing. Green means rock solid. Red means check manually.

Toggle which beats to mark. Just the downbeat? Only 1 and 3? Your call — tap to toggle.

Phase Adjustment

Grid landed off by one beat? Shift the phase without re-analyzing. One click left or right.

Red

Beat 1 — Downbeat

The strongest beat of the bar. Your primary cut point.

Blue

Beats 2 & 4 — Backbeats

Where the snare hits. The pulse that drives the groove.
