When you open the app the screen shows drums and bass on/off switches so you can choose what will play back. To the right are circles that show what has been selected in the lower pane. The lower pan let’s you choose the key, tempo(bpm), number of turnarounds (repeats) and chord queue. The queue allows you to alter the progression a little.
After you’ve chosen your setup, press start. The screen changes to the orange and blue circle page shown above. If you don’t have a guitar or other instrument, touching the circles generates tones (blues scale). The playback starts automatically and pressing stop will take you back to the setup screen. If you touch the little i in the right upper corner of this screen, you are taken to an explanation of the blues scale relative to the circles.
