Love it! I've been planning to learn music. This pushed me further.

Can put all data in the url itself :)
Just implemented it!

#23This is great! Really intuitive and clean.
It would be nice if when you add a note in the “melodic” set it played it as you add it, rather than having to add them then preview the loop.

That's a good feature request. Implemented!

Seems you can only have one drum and one melody track, can't add a new one? When I try it stops playing the other tracks.
You have to add them to the Looper with the "Add to the Looper" button. I need to think of a better UX for that. Let me know if you have ideas!
I did that, so maybe I'm just missing something but after adding them to the looper and deleting the notes to start a new layer, the old layer doesn't play anymore.
I'd suggest instead of making the loop layers and editors "siblings" ontologically, instead default on app load to have a single layer, then have the option to add more layers and switch between them - add layer then edit, instead of creating a layer and adding it to a list.
I really do like the randomization though, it actually sounded surprisingly nice. Took me a moment to realize what was happening but it's actually a seemingly simple feature that's hard to achieve in full blown DAWs.

Yes I understand what you're saying! I'll fix this. Edit: Fixed!

I just saw your comment, I couldn't reply to it there, but I just added the edit layer feature, along with other QOL features.
Also, did you try the preview with loop button? It's in the preview drop down. It should let you preview the grid along with what's already in the loop.

#27It looks great. A couple of features that would make it truly useful are currently missing: - Save/Load and Import/Export functionality. - The ability to edit loops after they have been added. Thanks for sharing.
- I added the Save/Load feature that saves your sessions within your browser.
- Added the option to export as .wav
- Added ability to edit loops on the grid, along with some other QOL features!

#28Minor bug: if you manage to Mute a synth part between the note on and note off events it will continually sound until pressing stop, even if un-muting that part.
Bug should be fixed now.

#29Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Great way to help nudge people along in musical interest.

#30If you change octave while programming a melody it loses it - eg I place C4 then change to octave 5 using the dropdown and place C5 then switch back to octave 4 and place C4 etc
Expected behaviour would be to have a simple oscillating octave pattern. When I press “preview” it plays it in whatever octave register I’ve selected in the drop down - so if I’m in octave 4 when I press preview it plays c4 repeatedly. If I’m in octave 5 it plays c5 repeatedly.
