#122I'm not trying to be cynical but what is special about this verses that 1000s of similar sites that came before? Here's one of google's https://www.google.com/logos/2017/fischinger/fischinger17.ht... Here's Ableton's https://learningmusic.ableton.com/ Is there something special about this one?
I too feel a little cynical, because I built basically exactly this back in 2012. Before Google, and before Ableton. AFAIK, it was the first grid sequencer online. The first version used the Mozilla audio API, before Web Audio was even a thing. I wish I was credited for the inspiration somewhere, but I guess it's very possible that this is an independent reinvention.
I called it MusicToy: http://maximecb.github.io/MusicToy/#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
It's almost exactly the same, with the pattern encoded in the URL, but it also has drum samples, and it has very few dependencies (no need for node or any web frameworks). I personally prefer having time go from left to right because that's how most sequencers work, and our monitors tend to be wider than they are tall.
I also made an updated, more advanced version (MusicToy 2) in 2019: https://mt2.musictools.live/

#123Can someone with knowledge of music theory explain how it works? Meaning, how come if I close my eyes and place some random tiles, it still come out sounding OK. But not so if I bang random keys on a piano.
The notes that this app is playing, from lowest to highest, are:
B3 C#4 F#4 G#4 C#5 D#5 E5 G#6 B6 C#7 F#8 G#8
These notes are all diatonic, e.g. from the same key (unlike all the keys on a piano). That key is C# relative minor (or E major). In modal language, this is the C# Aeolian (or, when played from E to E, Ionian mode):
C# D# E F# G# A B C#
If you play notes restricted to a single key, it will come out sounding OK.

#124Did anyone try this using AirPods Pro? On the iPhone’s speaker it sounds fine, on the AirPods I hear a lot of crackling noises between notes. Maybe the successive playback and stop of individual sounds messes up something in the compression used by the AirPods??

Could it be the audio stream stopping and starting in gaps, rather than playing silence, causing power saving to kick in and briefly stop the Bluetooth stream?
