Loop Supreme is intended to be easy to use and intuitive without a user guide. But, in case it falls short, hopefully this guide should get you going.

Starting and stopping the metronome

Click/tap the play ▶️ / pause ⏸ icon.

Keyboard: press space

Changing the tempo

Use the slider to change the tempo. Once the bar is selected, you can use the left/right arrow keys to fine-tune the tempo selection.

Click track: Muting and adjusting volume

Click the metronome icon to mute, or drag the slider to change the volume.

Track controls

You can select a specific track with the number keys 0-9. For example, clicking 1 will select the first track, 2 will select the second track, etc. 0 will select the 10th track, if you have that many. There is no way to select higher than 10, feel free to open a bug report if this affects you.
