Calico: Changed protection settings for "Events" ([Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

The [[Online Sequencer Event Committee]] hosts a variety of official events, all of which can be found under the events category on the [[Forums|forum]].

== Monthly Contest ==
The '''monthly contest''' is a recurring points-based contest hosted by [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/2740 Kirbyderp]. It was launched in September of 2018 alongside other limited events as a part of a "beta test". During the beta test period, both monthly contests and limited events would award "OS points" to the Grand Leaderboard. But as of 2019, limited events no longer award OS points, leaving the monthly contest as the only event to use the Grand Leaderboard.

Every month, a forum thread is posted to announce the theme for the month. Unless stated otherwise, the submission period for the monthly contest begins on the 1st of the month and ends on the 21st of the month at 11:59 PM EST.

=== Guidelines ===
Except in special cases, the guidelines for the monthly contest consist of the following:

* 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 entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests is not.
* Making a remix of an existing song is allowed.
* Editing an entry after the entry period is strictly prohibited and will result in that entry being disqualified.
* Collaborations on entries are allowed, but any points that the piece might receive are divided up equally between the contributors.
* The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.

=== Voting ===
After the submission period has ended, the voting process begins. Winners of the monthly contests are decided by the Event Committee members. The staff votes for three entries that best fit the theme of the contest.

=== Points ===
Contestants are awarded OS Points depending on how they placed that month, which is shown in the table below. OS Points are then added to the Grand Leaderboard.

As of January 6th, 2022, contestants have the option to out of receiving OS Points via this forum thread [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-6439.html here]. If a contestant wishes to opt back in to recieving OS Points, they may do so.

=== Rewards ===
At the end of the year, three winners are determined based on the total amount of OS points they have accrued over the entire year. Winners are placed in the Contest Winner [[Forum#Group Memberships|display group]], which provides them with a yellow name and a trophy badge next to it. Additionally, winners recieve more OS points for the leaderboard of the year after. Previous monthly contest winners can be found [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-3009.html here].

Would it make sense to track down the sources of the samples used by OS?

Also might make sense to credit certain users, such as XavierOasis for the 909 drum kit

Console Commands

2023-01-02T00:27:04Z

Calico: redundancy

'''Console Commands''' extend the functionality of the sequencer beyond what is possible with the UI. To access the console, press Shift + Ctrl + J for Chromium devices, or Shift + Ctrl + K for Firefox.
==Grid==
Using the formula "grid=g" can make even larger or smaller grids. Due to this, some users had the chance (as early as 2020) to make songs that have unusual grids.
===Shortcut===
Using ctrl-alt-c can automatically split into multiple smaller grid-sized pieces.
==Detune==
Using "setDetune(instrument, n)" (replace n with a number) can make detune go beyond 1200 or -1200.
==Reverb and distortion==
In reverb and distortion, using "setReverbVolume (r)" and "setDistortVolume (d)" (replace either variable with a number) can both go beyond 1.
==Equalizer==
The equalizer is separated into three parts, high, mid, and low. Using either "setEqHigh" "setEqMid" or "setEqLow" can be set beyond 48 and -48.
==Panning==
Using "setPan" can make panning go beyond 1 or -1.
==Markers==
*''See also: [[Markers#Using the console to format markers]]''
Using the formula song.getAllMarkersAtTime(t) (replacing the "t" with another number, using the grid to make a number exact) will bypass the restrictions of any effects of what the marker has.

Welcome to the '''Online Sequencer Wiki''', a guide designed to help navigate and use Online Sequencer (OS)

==Overview==
'''Online Sequencer''' is a web-based music [[wikipedia:Music_sequencer|sequencer]] that allows users to create music, or "sequences", which can be saved online, or locally as sequence files, MIDIs, or audio files such as MP3 and WAV. The piano roll is essential to the sequencer, which is on the left of the screen, with 72 notes from C2-B7 (labelled differently from a piano, C2 on the sequencer corresponds to C1 on a piano). In addition to several parameters which can be modified to change the sound of the music, additional functionality can be accessed via the [[console]].

Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and "drawing" notes on the grid, with the default [[Instruments|instrument]] being Electric Piano. By default, a sequence's time signature is set to 4/4, and the grid spacing is set to 1/4 (16 notes per measure). The note lengths can be adjusted to by dragging the dark tab on the right of each note, and precision can be afforded by changing the 'Grid' option to other note divisions.

== History ==
Online Sequencer was created in January 2013 by Jacob Morgan during a break at Georgia Tech.

== Features ==
Within the editor, numerous user interface features allow for various changes which will impact the individual sequence on that page.

===Basic features===
UI features include:

*Tempo (10-999 BPM)
*Measure count or Time count (MM: SS.ssss)
*Time signature (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4)
*Grid size (This correlates to note divisions; 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2)
*Auto Scroll (Fast, Smooth, Off; how the sequencer displays measures off-screen as a sequence plays)
*Add an Audio Track (This won't be saved to the sequence but will play alongside it for ease of transcription)
*Title input
*Draw, select, and erase
*Instrument dropdown, instrument options, and select instrument (only select all notes of the current instrument)
*Select all, Cut, Copy, and Paste
*Zoom options
*Export options
*Help
*Fullscreen
*Tooltips

===Advanced features===
Users can access more advanced features for use in their sequences by clicking the advanced tab on the instrument they wish to change. This menu contains options to change volume, panning, detune(-1200 to +1200), reverb, distortion, and an equalizer. This array lets users configure specific instruments to create specific sounds, and textures, or to accompany other instruments as a layer or development of the original sound.

OS also allows for commands to be entered in the browser console to manipulate different options in specific ways, such as setting custom to detune values (0-infinity), custom grid sizes, note divisions, and sequence ID amongst other things. These options bring OS closer to that of classic Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) but are still limited in terms of accessibility and availability.

== Browser Support ==
Online Sequencer is supported by Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave. Firefox is partially supported, but with limited functionality and various bugs. Other browsers, such as Safari and Internet Explorer, are not supported and may not load. Mobile browsers are supported too, but are only able play sequences. Editing on mobile browsers is not officially supported.

The piano roll is essential to the sequencer, which is on the left of the screen, with 72 notes from C2-B7 (labelled differently from a piano, C2 on the sequencer corresponds to C1 on a piano). In addition to several parameters which can be modified to change the sound of the music, additional functionality can be accessed via the [[Console Commands|console]].

Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and "drawing" notes on the grid, with the default [[Instruments|instrument]] being Electric Piano. By default, a sequence's time signature is set to 4/4, and the grid spacing is set to 1/4 (16 notes per measure). The note lengths can be adjusted to by dragging the dark tab on the right of each note, and precision can be afforded by changing the 'Grid' option to other note divisions.

Online Sequencer was created in January 2013 by Jacob Morgan during a break at Georgia Tech.

==Features==
Within the editor, numerous user interface features allow for various changes which will impact the individual sequence on that page.

===Basic features===
UI features include:

*Tempo (10-999 BPM)
*Measure count or Time count (MM: SS.ssss)
*Time signature (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4)
*Grid size (This correlates to note divisions; 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2)
*Auto Scroll (Fast, Smooth, Off; how the sequencer displays measures off-screen as a sequence plays)
*Add an Audio Track (This won't be saved to the sequence but will play alongside it for ease of transcription)
*Title input
*Draw, select, and erase
*Instrument dropdown, instrument options, and select instrument (only select all notes of the current instrument)
*Select all, Cut, Copy, and Paste
*Zoom options
*Export options
*Help
*Fullscreen
*Tooltips

===Advanced features===
Users can access more advanced features for use in their sequences by clicking the advanced tab on the instrument they wish to change. This menu contains options to change volume, panning, detune(-1200 to +1200), reverb, distortion, and an equalizer. This array lets users configure specific instruments to create specific sounds, and textures, or to accompany other instruments as a layer or development of the original sound.

OS also allows for commands to be entered in the browser console to manipulate different options in specific ways, such as setting custom to detune values (0-infinity), custom grid sizes, note divisions, and sequence ID amongst other things. These options bring OS closer to that of classic Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) but are still limited in terms of accessibility and availability.

Calico: Calico moved page Console to Console Commands

Console commands extend the functionality of the sequencer beyond what is possible with the UI. To access the console, press Shift + Ctrl + J for Chrome, or Shift + Ctrl + K for Firefox.
==Grid==
Using the formula "grid=g" can make even larger or smaller grids. Due to this, some users had the chance (as early as 2020) to make songs that have unusual grids.
===Shortcut===
Using ctrl-alt-c can automatically split into multiple smaller grid-sized pieces.
==Detune==
Using "setDetune(instrument, n)" (replace n with a number) can make detune go beyond 1200 or -1200.
==Reverb and distortion==
In reverb and distortion, using "setReverbVolume (r)" and "setDistortVolume (d)" (replace either variable with a number) can both go beyond 1.
==Equalizer==
The equalizer is separated into three parts, high, mid, and low. Using either "setEqHigh" "setEqMid" or "setEqLow" can be set beyond 48 and -48.
==Panning==
Using "setPan" can make panning go beyond 1 or -1.
==Markers==
*''See also: [[Markers#Using the console to format markers]]''
Using the formula song.getAllMarkersAtTime(t) (replacing the "t" with another number, using the grid to make a number exact) will bypass the restrictions of any effects of what the marker has.

==Overview==
Online Sequencer (/ɒnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsə/; /ɑnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsər/) is a web-based [[wikipedia:Music_sequencer|sequencer]] that allows users to create music, or 'sequences', which can be saved on the website itself or by exporting the sequence as a file such as MIDI, .txt, and MP3. The site is beginner friendly, with a piano roll on the left hand side with labelled [[Note|notes]], and minimalistic icons depicting the tools available from the get-go. This is not to say that OS is a limited or basic tool, by any means as users hoping to create more advanced sequences can do so using many of the features within the UI, and by utilising custom [[Console|commands]] in the browser console.

Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and 'drawing' notes on the grid, with the default [[Instruments|instrument]] being Electric Piano. The grid loads as 4/4 with the draw tool set to 1/4 note division (16 notes per measure). The note lengths can be adjusted to custom lengths by dragging the dark tab on each note, precision can be afforded through changing the 'Grid' option to other note divisions.
