Unfortunatly,your app doesnt hold a straight tempo(in the browser),cool idea,and cool app,but useless if that precondition is not met. The problem is that even if you trigger something precisely with javascript,the way some browsers handle audio make sequencing totally unreliable.

Yeah I have this problem as well. It's very CPU intensive.

Thought it was going to be this (very fun) JACK-based loop-sampler. The name not exactly the same, but it seems close enough to be mildly confusing.

Maybe change the name slightly? (I'm no expert on naming issues; it might just be my lack of coffee)

Yeah that was frustrating. Very cool tool though!

"useless" seems a little extreme. the tool is fun and fluid enough that even if it were to vary within 20bpm i would still use it to get stuff out of my head. prototyping.

for what it is, i think the usability issues are more severe (no quantization, inability to modify a sequence, no pre-roll or indicator of where in the loop you are recording, can't seem to play over another track without recording).
