Basic Wireframe & its Evolution
The design process was subject to much trial and error. Some of the earlier concepts didn’t prove to be as successful as what we ended up with. Though this wasn’t the last iteration of the engine that I worked on, it was the first real solution that was implemented to solve the original problem​​​​​​​.

Design System For Exhale

Usability Studies
User Feedback
12 of 15 users in the industry preferred using reverse option while composing, after conducting a usability test and followed by interviews.

Solution
Linking macros (using drag & drop gestures) directly to the reverse and loop buttons for ease of rendering the effects right on the main screen instead of opening the section separately altogether making it highly efficient.
