ZFX Tools is an application combining a number of useful functions. It includes a recorder that makes it easy to capture your instrument, a sound-coordinated rhythm machine that gives
you a virtual drummer and bassist, an editor with an intuitive mouse-based interface, a librarian function for managing patches, and a precision tuner.
In addition, a search function lets you download the latest patches or rhythms and access a vast assortment of preset patches and rhythm patterns.
This Startup Guide explains how to install ZFX Tools on your computer. The steps for recording while playing rhythm patterns are also explained.
