What's the point of Twitter integration? Why can't I make patterns with the mouse on the screen?

Good point, it's text based because I miss playing around with text-based interfaces. Other than to please the keyboard junky in me, using Twitter stream API as a part of your system has so many cool benefits...

Or, you just want everyone to tweet about it.

As someone who spends a lot of his time playing around with drum machines, I couldn't figure out how to use this. I was only able to make lines without laying down any individual notes. Not sure what I'm missing here?

Also another thing to note, is that setting up the key triggers in alphabetical order like that is odd and really unintuitive. The standard for most digital audio workstations is to line up the top two rows of qwerty keys like they are piano keys (qwerty row = black piano keys, home row = white piano keys), and use 'z' and 'x' to change the octave.

I'm having the same issue. I can't place notes. Clicking "?" doesn't show any more information than the tooltips.

Interesting idea though...

Appreciate your feedback! Putting '-' in your sequence will have add a 1 unit gap between your beat! We're changing the letters order to match qwerty soon!

Please, put the letter as qwertyuiop... and not abcdefg... Otherwise, cool project!

Good idea! Thanks, it'll feel more intuitive.

However, this will kill the azerty folks. Add a way to switch, and keep abcdefg for the folks using other weird layouts!
