Online Sequencer has been running since January 2013, amassing 24,000+ users and almost 1,000,000 sequences!
I have requested Jacob to reserve this number for me for this special community event that I will describe below.
General Information
For those of you who are familiar with the [url=]Super Collab[/url], this event will basically be a more organized version of that. For those of you with a very ancient user number, now is your chance to brag to everyone about that.
Take your best sequences from a certain age in OS and remix them! These sequences will be partially featured in the millionth sequence as a medley type collaboration.
You can enter as many times as you want, in the end, I will be the one collecting entries and all that good stuff involving cutting and pasting.
Once you are done remixing, please comment below with the link of your original sequence and your remixed sequence.
Please keep in mind:
Sequences of known users will have a better chance of qualifying for the medley.
If I don't know you, it's probably a sign that you haven't been on here long enough.
Recommended remix length is 8-16 measures. You can send more if you want to, but I will be taking the most usable part.
Source sequences MUST be original when you remix them. I don’t want your AU of Megalovania.
The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.
A little vocabulary for those unfamiliar with chat terms. These describe the age of a sequence.
“100k” refers to sequences that are between [url=][/url] and [url=][/url].
“<100k” refers to sequences that are earlier than the 100,000th sequence.
I think you can guess what the rest of them mean.
The original sequence you are remixing will fall into these ages. Try to use your earliest sequences, as I know later sequence numbers will have more momentum.
This event may sound a little confusing, so if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to clear things up.
Hello Online Sequencer! It’s finally time to announce the first monthly contest theme for the beta contests!
As tradition for anything in the month of Halloween, this month’s theme will be spooky! Give us sequences that really put a chill down your spine.
General Information
The entry period is from 10/1 ~ 10/21 (11:59 PM EST). Winners will be announced on 10/31!
While we will post general notes on every contest, please refer to the Monthly Contest announcement thread for more details on Monthly Contests themselves.
Entry limit of 2 sequences per person.
Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, but will not enter their example sequence nor will they vote for their own entry.
Sequences made prior to the current Monthly Contest are allowed, although we don’t recommend entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests.
Making a remix of an existing song is allowed. Please make it as creative as possible while applying the contest’s theme.
The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.
Committee Notes
To me, spooky is all about the atmosphere of a song.
It just has to radiate fear from every note and beat. Granted, I’m not really good at that (yet), but I have come up with a couple neat tricks that can help.
Putting music box notes in really low octaves actually creates quite the spooky sound (although it’s slightly delayed, so you’d want to place the note about a beat before you want the actual sound to play).
The other is that you can make some very creepy chords out of a pseudo-spammed steel drum in the lower octaves as well. (Some rattling percussion also doesn’t hurt, but that’s often more specific to the type of spooky you’re going for.)
Anyway, I combined those together into a short tidbit for you to hear. Who knows? You might get some good inspiration from it. ##920846

Hey, it’s Alex. The OS Event Committee will revive Battle of the Bands as another recurring event next to Monthly Contests.
This will be a collaborative competition that will commence every 3 months. For those of you unfamiliar with BotB, the original post can be found here.
General Information
Battle of the Bands is a collaborative contest across the site. You will form a band of at least two members and work on sequences together to compete with other bands.
When your team is satisfied with their sequences, post them under the respective Battle of the Bands thread. Make sure to list all your team members and give yourself a band name to identify by!
Each battle is labeled from Q1 - Q4 and represents which quarter of the year it takes place. We will announce the next battle every 3 months, totalling in 4 battles for the year.
The scheduling for Battle of the Bands is as shown below.

Hello Online Sequencer! It’s me, Kirbyderp, and I (with the rest of the committee) are very excited to announce the first of the events we have planned. We will be hosting official contests for Online Sequencer each month, each with their own theme, until the end of this year!
This will be a beta test to determine whether or not it will be worth continuing regular contests for next year, therefore I would highly recommend participating if you would like to support OS.
This announcement is mostly about general contest information, rules, and prizes (yes, prizes!)
So without further ado, here are the guidelines of this recurring event!
General Information
The contest will begin on the 1st and end on the 21st (11:59 PM EST) each month, giving you 3 weeks to make your entries.
When the theme is announced at the start of each competition, committee members will make comments on what the month’s theme means to them and provide an example sequence relating to their comment.
These example sequences will possibly demonstrate something you’ve never tried before, so feel free to use these tricks in your own way to help your sequence out!
General Notes For Monthly Contests
Entry limit of 2 sequences per person.
Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, but will not enter their example sequence nor will they vote for their own entry.
Sequences made prior to the current Monthly Contest are allowed, although we don’t recommend entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests.
Making a remix of an existing song is allowed. Please make it as creative as possible while applying the contest’s theme.
The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.
Editing an entry after the entry period is strictly prohibited and will result in that entry being disqualified.
Winning Information
Winners of the monthly contests will be decided by the Event Committee members. The staff will vote for three entries that they think best fits the theme of the contest. Judgement will take place on the last week of the month after the submission period has concluded.
Depending on placement, winners will receive leaderboard points that will contribute towards a grand total at the end of the year.
The amount of points earned are as followed:
1st Place Winner - 5 OS Points
2nd Place Winner - 4 OS Points
3rd Place Winner - 3 OS Points
Honorable Mention - 1 OS Point
However, the number of winners announced is directly related to the number of sequences entered (to make it so that it's fairer towards those who won against a large number of opponents). A list of the number of winners that will be announced depending on the number of entries is below:
1-4 Entries - No winners announced
5-8 Entries - 1 winner announced
9-12 Entries - 2 winners announced
13+ Entries - 3 winners announced
The winners of the monthly contests will be announced either on a special date related to the month, or at the end of that month.
Staying consistent in Monthly Contests will help you improve your composition skills and earn more OS points!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! This post will change from time to time.
Hello everyone, I would like to announce the launch of our official Online Sequencer Events!
These events are created by frequent users of the site to encourage fellow musicians with new activities to participate in!
If you are new to the site, or if you’re on a creativity block-- it might be a good idea to get started here.
In the future, we plan for small community events that will get experienced users of OS to start peer-to-peer workshops and help new users become better at the site.
Currently, we are introducing Monthly Contests that will entail a specific theme corresponding to the month they are in.
A new contest will start on the 1st and end on the 21st (11:59 PM EST) of every month. These contests will commence by October 2018 and will be released every month after.
For now, if you have any questions to ask about the events, please send me a PM to my main account and I will get to you as soon as possible.
If you would like to support us into making these events, please drop an application by this thread so that we can consider adding you to the group, thank you!
This is a system that we’ll have when making committee posts. Basically each user making a comment in the post will have their profile picture shown before their text to identify the speaker.
This will probably be happening in most if not all committee posts, especially in the monthly contest announcements.
I’ve been pestering Lucent WAY too much to get an announcement out that we actually exist, but it’s here now, so be prepared to have some GREAT events coming in the near future!
Like Online Sequencer? Like events? Want more events in Online Sequencer? Want to actually prove your commitment to the website? I will be starting an Event Planning Committee Discord that will do all these things!
This will be different than our current Discord because one, hopefully it won't die, and two, you will have an equal say of what you want to host in the website. We can initiate meaningful contests and ongoing events to boost the site's activity. Best of all, they're initiated by people like you!
Before I keep going with the overly optimistic monologue, here are a few requirements. Don't worry, these won't be very harsh.
Requirements For Discord Invite:
-A discord account.
-Proof of having an account for at least 3 months.
-Proof of having at least 50 distinct sequences, if you have any outside of your account, please add this to the total.
-Name at least 5 people that I am aware of on the site. More, the better.
-Good standing with the OS community and its' staff.
-Consistent activity on the site.
Interested? Please post below! Questions and comments? Also post! I will be checking this thread regularly.
EXTRA NOTES:
I have reacted to your post accordingly.
means that you have been automatically accepted. I know you well, I know you have good intentions to support the site and the community!
means that you have been accepted. I don't know you that well, but you still meet all requirements of above. I expect some good work.
means you were dejected for not being able to follow requirements, or for behavior reasons.
means you have been filed for further consideration. I know you, but I will still need to see a better demonstration for what you can contribute to this group.
means I would like to consider you for the committee, but due to long periods of inactivity, you have not been accepted. Please demonstrate a frequent attendance in OS.
means I have doubt over your ability to communicate with people in the chat, you should be able to communicate well to create good events. Please demonstrate respectable social behavior. Otherwise, you fit the other rules.
Tired of going back and forth the forums to find the contest you need? Want to see contests you've probably overlooked? I've listed all the ongoing ones here. (The list has not been completely verified yet, but I made sure to exclude all the contests that have ended.)
I only made this because I got bored and it probably doesn't work, but someone might find it useful. Its a single file that has the whole website in; open it and you can compose things without the need for internet access! Save your work to a local file and you can later load it in either the offline or online version.
