#2Looks great and works great! A reset button would be nice to undo the horrible mess I made.
A minor note, when I load the page I get console warnings about an Audio Context being prevented from starting automatically, but once I click play everything works perfectly fine.

The audio context thing where it won’t start without user interaction is by webaudio API design. OP would need to prevent the errors from coming up though.

#8Fantastic, had a lot of fun poking around this little machine.
I really love it, here are some minor improvement points:
- when right-clicking, the intended functionality of selecting the appropriate rhythm works only half the time or so. The other half is the browser modal showing normal right-click action. Consider doing long-press to change rhythm?
- volume per channel feels off. Putting the slider halfway already results in nearly inaudible contribution from that sample. Consider changing the "slope" of the volume slider?
- the BPM slider is a bit on the small side. Consider making it wider for finer control?
- the window at default zoom level (100%, 1080p resolution) doesn't fill the screen. Works perfect on 125% setting. Consider filling the entire screen so that the button sizes etc. are maximized?
Amazing to play around with.

The (...) button next to "Your jam" -> Clear does the job for me
