I created a small webapp, to create simple audio loops online. A bit rough around the edges but gets you started in less than 10 seconds on creating loops.

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!

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.

Yup I'm thinking of ways to make it shareable. This is a client-side static website(runs completely on your end) so won't be able to make backend-supported links.

Edit: 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.
