==Interface==
The Mandachord is comprised of 4 bars (or measures) which are represented by the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 (as seen outside the circle above each of the solid grey vertical lines). Placing one note at the start of each bar is a whole note. Each bar is divided into quarters which are represented by the vertical lines. The tempo is set to 120 beats per minute, meaning each bar is 2 seconds long, and each slot is the 16th note. In other words, each song loop is 8 seconds long.
A Mandachord song is comprised of three tracks: Percussion, Bass, and Melody. The Bass and Melody tracks can be comprised of five notes of the D minor pentatonic scale: D, F, G, A, and C. From top to bottom on the Mandachord, the Percussion track can be comprised of a bass drum, snare drum, or hi-hat equivalent.
*Each ability is affected by a section of the Mandachord: Percussion (), Bass (), and Melody ().
*Instruments enable selection of different sound packs for each section. The Adau sound pack is available by default.
*Volume Mixer allows volume adjustments for each section. Volume settings will apply during Mandachord customization and to the appropriate abilities during gameplay.
*Track Isolation enables toggling on or off each section for better audio clarity while composing a song.
