I think the buttons underneath the sequencer are supposed to be measures, but they don't seem to be working properly for me. Clicking on them once highlights them - but only sometimes. And then clicking on them again does not unhighlight them - but only sometimes. Other than that this seems fun, I want to try to get around this weird issue cause I'd love to play with this. Maybe I'll try Chrome (currently using Firef…

Clicking outside of the circle adds/removes that pattern from the sequence. When the sequence is paused, clicking inside of the circle selects that pattern.

Kind of fun, I find it fairly intuitive. It's been a long time since I messed around with anything musical. Here's what I came up with: https://apps.musedlab.org/groovepizza/?museid=vcfVeYzxT&

As a musician I'm surprised how much I like the sound of placing beats in a practically random way

Wish there was a "randomize" button that would let me input a probability that any given beat should be present and then randomly decide on/off for every node, I feel like that could be an interesting way to explore beatspace.

If I’m understanding your request, Ableton Live will do that for you. You can set probability that it will choose a given beat pattern and now with their latest version you can also set the probability that an individual note will trigger.

Very nice. The UI (on mobile at least) could use some more labels for explanation (or maybe a quick tutorial), but having experience with other beat editors it was simple enough for me to figure out pretty quick: https://apps.musedlab.org/groovepizza/?source=pub&museid=x-b... I really like the cyclical beat representation. Makes it a lot easier to visualize how everything fits together. Would be neat if more DAWs, dr…

If you're interested in something similar, look for "Euclidean Sequencer" vsts for your daw.

Looks like I can't "turn off" a pizza (for lack of a better term) once I've started using it. It'd be cool to be able to edit a pizza before it was being played, or save different sets and queue them up. I've played a bit of Fuser (by Harmonix) and it has a similar vibe. Not exactly the same but I think this could go in a similar direction.

It took me a while to figure out but you actually can by clicking the border around the pizza at the bottom and the color will change showing it’s inactive
