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 https://apps.musedlab.org/groovepizza/?museid=xFlGGuYki& 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.

Western music (for want of a better term) is so deeply rooted in even 16th notes that almost anything sounds acceptable. I think being limited to 3 curated instruments per pattern helps a lot too.

I think there was an old iOS app that was like this. Can't remember it's name though

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…

It's kind of unintuitive, because when they're "on" the beat cycles through your active pizzas. As someone else commented, you can click on the outer edge to turn them back off.

What this really needs is the capability to edit pizzas when they're not currently being cycled through, so you can queue up new rhythms.

If you like this concept and like to dig deeper there's Xronomorph [1]. Don't love Xronomorph's U.I. but it is an interesting concept with some deeper mathematical background around the concepts of "perfect balance" and "well-formedness" of rhythms. The site has some papers and links on those concepts, quite the rabbithole.

Yeah, the colours of the UI look a little different from what I remember, but I think this may have been it. Thanks

If it was possible to change the volume of individual notes you could do some pretty sweet groves on this.
