1. Keep it civil and chill. Harassment, abuse, hate speech, disrespect towards other members will not be tolerated. This includes profanity directed at others.
No racist, ableist, or sexual/homophobic slurs, regardless of context. Alluding to the use of slurs will be treated as if the slur was said
Be respectful even when you disagree. Discussion of controversial topics that descend into personal insults will likely result in muting.
2. No discussion of nsfw topics. (NSFW = not safe for work, meaning you wouldn't be comfortable opening it at work or in class).
3. No spam (repeated messages lacking meaningful content).
4. No excessive promotion of your own content. Includes sequences, other websites, Discord servers, etc.
5. Do not disclose any personal information or private messages without the other person’s permission.
6. Do not use multiple accounts to evade punishment or pretend to be someone else.
7. No online dating.
8. Creating forum threads/messaging a moderator to be unmuted will likely result in a ban.
9. No public posting of links to external forms of unmoderated communication/user-created content (such as chatrooms, zoom calls, kahoot quizzes, discord servers, etc.) (Sending links privately is allowed.)
10. No sequences that are intended to annoy the listener. If your sequence is loud, put a warning in the title.
11. Saving edited versions of sequences that you did not make is allowed and encouraged, but don't copy someone else's work and try to claim it as your own. These will be deleted.
12. You must be 13+ years old to use the website chat.
Breaking the rules can result in:
- Being unable to use chat for up to 1 week.
- A temporary ban from the whole website for up to 1 week.
- A permanent ban from the whole website for eternity.

I want to add more synth instruments, since they support longer notes and don't use any bandwidth, but I don't know anything about audio synthesis. If you can come up with a JS function that plays a sound given the note name and length I might decide to make it a new instrument! Here is the code for the 8 bit instruments to start with: https://pastebin.com/AWTDnsCG
Note: All questions here will be answered in the quickest, and probably most sarcastic way possible. I'm tired of having newcomers ask the same things on this site. The list will change accordingly. If you got anymore questions, just ask them here on this thread.
Q: How do you change the note length so that it is greater than a 1/2 note?
Please note that doing this will not affect the actual sound length of the note in the sequencer, and is only useful for exporting as MIDI. Please also note that this is an old tutorial, and while it still works, you do not have to look for the "Experiments" tab in order to change the lengths of notes.
There are two ways of finding this number out, one is to click your name where it says at the top right, "Welcome back <username>!" You should be redirected to a link similar to the one above. The last four numbers of that link is your User ID.
The second method is to click on your name on a comment while you are in the "Chat" menu. You should be redirected to a link similar to https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/member...rofile&uid=#### The last four numbers of that link is your User ID.
Q: How do you delete your sequences?
A: Look for the button that says "Delete" on the published sequence.
Q: Why is this site terrible?
A: Try pressing Ctrl+W and see if that helps.
This is the most asked question on the Forums by a landslide. I am not allowing it to be asked again. In order to make the site a better experience for the Users, any questions regarding note will be answered here.
If any user asks in the Forums on how to change note length, their post will be deleted. I will then forward them to this post via personal message.
In the experimental menu, you will find different options such as sorting through random sequences and placing notes via console. But what we want is to change the note length:
Now that we know what to do to change the note length, let's make a sequence:
What we need to do is to open the Console. To do that, press F12 (Apple products may be different). A menu will pop up. The default menu may be wrong. In order to get this to work, click on the button labeled Console (layout may vary by browser).
After you have navigated to the correct menu, type the command grid=1/4 into the console.* *The grid size can be replaced with any value!
You can now log in to the main site with your forum account! It doesn't do anything yet, but sequences you create while logged in will be associated with your user ID for future updates.
I tried to clean it up as much as I could, but the code is about is bad as you'd expect for being written in 1 weekend and then sloppily added to for 2 years. It's also now set up to automatically pull the latest updates from Github so tracking changes should be a lot easier.
You've probably noticed the recent increase in forum spam and people drawing inappropriate body parts on the sequencer. If anyone would like to volunteer to help clean up, reply here! It's not a commitment or anything, just gives you the ability to delete anything bad you come across.
