    Fun! Well done.

    I created a loop in the drum mode, and then wanted to add a melodic track to it, so I clicked the melodic button. This erased my drum pattern instead - would be good if they could play over each other, and would not be erased by switching.

      Yes I understand what you're saying! I'll fix this.

      Edit: Fixed!

        Seems you can only have one drum and one melody track, can't add a new one? When I try it stops playing the other tracks.

          You have to add them to the Looper with the "Add to the Looper" button. I need to think of a better UX for that. Let me know if you have ideas!

    It looks great. A couple of features that would make it truly useful are currently missing:

    - Save/Load and Import/Export functionality.

    - The ability to edit loops after they have been added.

    Thanks for sharing.

    It’s a bit low effort. If you like this kind of thing I’d suggest

      Yes I agree, it is currently a side-project that is 2 days old! Also brilliant suggestion, played with it and really liked it!

    This is great! Really intuitive and clean.

    It would be nice if when you add a note in the “melodic” set it played it as you add it, rather than having to add them then preview the loop.

      That's a good feature request. Implemented!

    Minor bug:

    if you manage to Mute a synth part between the note on and note off events it will continually sound until pressing stop, even if un-muting that part.

      Yup I've noticed that. I'll try to fix it.

      I tap the stop button again to make it stop.

    Love it! I've been planning to learn music. This pushed me further.

    I created this pattern.

    I wish it was shareable but couldn't find the share feature.

    Perhaps fun fact: I uploaded the screenshot into Gemini and asked it to transform it into ASCII. Claude made a less pretty one.
