Sonar Sequencer is absolutely awful.

[Angry Trash]

I have mild hearing issues but jesus christ on a treadmill this thing is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible. Even when I make a sequence that sounds correct to me, it generates stress. Not to mention it takes several seconds to loop through again so that you're constantly burning time if you can't distinguish the apparently very unclear notes if everything I'm doing is wrong 102% of the time. There needs to be an alternate mode for it or something.

Edit : Nevermind, I don't want any kind of help with this. After playing a few minutes longer and trying other tools it's just awful and inaccessible the whole way down.

Also preemptively, I watched the tutorial on it on youtube. Still doesn't help if it sounds right to me and then is completely wrong in practice, or how long it takes to cycle itself again.

Hey there! Very sorry to hear that the Sonar Sequencer made your experience with the game harder and you didn't have fun overall.
For the Sonar Sequencer, there are also visual clues you can look out for:

This shouldn't completely nullify what OP is saying, but from my experience, Sonar Sequencer was the absolute easiest one for me where I could get it done on its first pass 90% of the time and never failed it in my completion.

I have no hearing issues but man i almost gave up on the game because of this sonar tool!

I was looking at the little TV screen under the buttons, with lanes and dots, and i was trying to match that! Completely misunderstood the concept. Then i was pushing buttons to see what changes, and nothing was changing so i was very confused and wasn't able to figure it out. This probably your main design flaw, there is no feedback from the tool until you press the validate button, and nobody does that because they don't want want to lose insanity or don't press simply because they don't know what they are doing.

It took a video for me to finally get it, and once i did I get it right on the first time every time.

Your post above about visual queues is also very confusing, i have no idea how visual queues match the sound or how to guess it from that. Just button with vertical line = short beep and button with horizontal line = long beep is how i am solving the puzzle.
