Way cool! It doesn’t seem to need a midi device - I just pressed the “Beat” button with a right arrow on it using the mouse and it played the pre-loaded pattern on my ThinkPad’s built-in speakers. You can change the pattern using the mouse as well, by pressing on the ‘pattern buttons’ which also visually show the pattern.
