This is perfect for bassist or guitarist with that tapping grid. I think you be able to tune it differently I’m not sure, but 4ths are a great start.

finally a good one

and free! been waiting for this for years, thank you!

Works

I use Audiobus and it works as expected there. Nice and clean interface.
