  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The title says it all: It does what it is supposed to... But absolutely NOT OPTIMIZED piece of software, I guess any good programmer can shrink the size of this one by 80%!!! ABUSIVE use of processing. It hogs 50% of a 1.67GHz Powerbook G4, and this is, to my sense, WAY, WAY too much...

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It's a fair attempt at a unique interface, but I can't help but think it would be better off using Apple's highly-polished interface elements. For that matter, the interface could be just as effective with 3 popup buttons and a text field. This would also significantly reduce the size (10.1 MB really is MUCH too large for this sort of app). Other issues: No documentation whatsoever. The buttons don't do anything if the tone generator is currently running. The sound is very uneven between tone types and is furthermore generally too loud; even with the system volume at it's absolute minimum it is almost deafening on my headphones. I'd personally like to see the ability to play multiple tones, for work on beat patterns and harmonic series, but perhaps the kinks should be worked out of the current feature set first. It does work, though...
