【Key Features】
- Metric Manipulation: Seamlessly convert standard 4-beat tracks into asymmetric odd meters.
- Granular Groove Engine: Adjust the stretch ratio for each individual beat via our unique 1/12 grid.
- Pro-Grade Audio Processing: Powered by Phase Vocoder and SoundTouch (WSOLA) for minimal artifacts even during extreme stretching.
- Flexible Export: Save your creations as high-quality MP3 files.

【How to Use】
1. Load Audio: Import WAV or MP3 files from your device.
2. Select Range: Define the specific section you want to modify on the waveform.
3. Extract Beat: Use Auto-detection or Manual input for bars and time signatures.
4. Configure Ratios: Set your resolution (4th, 8th, or 16th notes) and apply your custom stretch ratios.
5. Export: Render and share your new rhythmic arrangement.

【Innovative Rhythmic Control】
1. Advanced Odd-Time Conversion: Transform 4/4 to 5/4 by stretching specific beats (e.g., 1.5x on beats 1 & 2). Ideal for progressive rock and jazz practice.
2. Precision Groove & Shuffle: Change internal ratios (e.g., 2:1 Downbeat/Upbeat) to create a shuffle feel while maintaining the original BPM.
3. The "n/12" Grid System: A mathematical approach to music. 1.0x = 12/12. Easily dial in triplets (8/12), dotted notes, and micro-grooves with absolute precision.

【Target Users】
- Experimental Producers: Create unique loops by warping the meter of standard samples.
- Jazz & Prog Musicians: Reconstruct tracks into complex odd-meter versions for advanced practice.
- Rhythm Nerds: Explore the mathematical beauty of asymmetric meters and Gankino-style (11/8) rhythms.

Developer's Note:
This app is built for creators who prioritize flexibility over "one-tap" effects. While there is a learning curve, mastering the n/12 ratios gives you total mastery over the meter itself.
