Poop

2023-01-22T05:03:16Z

CosmicPython: Preserving the neutrality of the Wiki, even on our joke pages :)

'''Poop''' is the stuff that your body wants to eat again to extract all the nutrients. It tastes like whatever food you ate before pooping, but better! It can take up to 7 digestion cycles to get all of the nutrients out of your poop and the flavor improves each time. Recycling your poop by eating it is enjoyable, healthy, and good for the environment.

Public toilets can be used for exchanging poop and trying different flavors. If you don't want to eat yours, leave it for someone else to enjoy! It's kind of like craft beer or coffee, poop has a complex and dynamic taste and every turd is different.

CosmicPython: Removed quotes from "sequences" and fixed sentence.

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 sequences of music, which can be saved and shared online. Sequences can also be saved as .sequence files, MIDIs, or MP3 and WAV files. 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 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 on January 2, 2013 by Jacob Morgan during a break at Georgia Tech.

In November 2014, accounts were available but were separate from the music portion of the site. They were only used to operate the Online Sequencer Forum.

In 2015, accounts were linked to the main website and allowed songs to be saved under someone's username.

The World Update in 2018 added several new instruments and changed the landscape of sound design on the site.

Starting in late 2020, OS began to receive a variety of updates which vastly improved the functionality of the site. These updates introduced features like custom grid sizes, automation with [[markers]], extra [[reverb]] options, [[detune]], and [[distortion]].

In late 2022, new higher-quality instruments were added. Some of the instruments, such as Electric Piano, Grand Piano, Violin, and Cello got an updated sustained version, while the original versions still exist.

== 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===
''Main article: [[Instrument Options]]''

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|reverb]], [[Distortion|distortion]], and an [[Equalizer|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. Firefox is also supported, but often with limited functionality.

Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported; other mobile browsers support sequence playback, but not editing.

The website's user interface is formatted for proper use on desktops, but some pages such as the chat page, playlists, and forums should be formatted well on mobile devices.

Markers

2023-01-02T02:32:55Z

CosmicPython: Fleshed out List of markers.

'''Markers''' are a feature in the sequencer that allow for changing certain values on the fly while a sequence is being played.

To make a marker, right-click on the measure bar. This is the section with numbers right below the main sequencer interface at the top of the sequencer itself, then select a marker type from the dropdown menu under the "Edit Markers" pop-up and click the <code>+</code> symbol to finally add a marker.

Once a marker is added, you can tweak the provided fields to your liking. The first button on the left is to make a smooth transition between the defined value of the previous marker with the same type to the values of the current marker being edited. The second value is to reset the value to the default settings. The third option is to delete the marker.

'''''[ADD AN IMAGE FOR THE MARKER UI ONCE MEDIA UPLOADING IS INITIALIZED.]'''''

== List of marker options ==
These are presented in the same order as they appear in the dropdown menu. '''Options with "Instrument" in them require an instrument to be selected before adding the marker.'''

* ''Sequence Volume'' — Adds a slider to change the global volume of the sequence itself. Its bounds are from 0 times the default volume – effectively muting the sequence – to 2 times the default volume. This functions exactly like the Volume slider at the far top0right of the sequencer.
* ''BPM'' — Adds a text input for the new value the BPM will be changed to.
* ''Instrument Volume'' — Adds a slider to change the volume of the provided instrument. Its bounds are from 0 times the default volume – effectively muting the instrument – to 2 times the default volume.
* ''Instrument Panning'' — Adds a slider to change the panning direction of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the Panning slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument EQ High —'' Adds a slider to change the [[Equalizer]]'s high frequencies of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the EQ High slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument EQ Mid —'' Adds a slider to change the Equalizer's middle frequencies of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the EQ Mid slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument EQ Low —'' Adds a slider to change the Equalizer's low frequencies of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the EQ Low slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument Delay'' — Adds a button to toggle the provided instrument's Delay on or off. This functions exactly like the Delay button under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument Effects'' — Misleadingly labeled, this adds a dropdown menu to change the provided instrument's [[Reverb#List of reverbs|reverb type]]. This functions exactly like the Reverb dropdown menu under the Advanced Menu, although with the "Off" option added, which turns off [[reverb]].
* ''Instrument Reverb Volume'' — Adds a slider to change the reverb amount of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the reverb slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument Detune'' — Adds a slider to change the detune of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the Detune slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Instrument Distort'' — Adds a dropdown menu to change the provided instrument's distortion effect. This functions exactly like the Distortion dropdown menu under the Advanced Menu, although with the "Off" option added, which turns off distortion.
* ''Instrument Distort Volume'' — Adds a slider to change the distortion amount of the provided instrument. This functions exactly like the distortion slider under the Advanced Menu.
* ''Reset Instrument Settings'' — Adds a button to toggle the provided instrument's default values ability to override markers on or off.
* ''Autoscroll'' — Adds a dropdown menu to change the speed of the auto-scrolling when a sequence plays. "Smooth" makes a smoother transition animation when the pointer reaches the edge of the sequencer and loads more of the sequence being played. "Fast" is the default setting which has an instant change to the next part of the sequence being played. "Off" turns off auto-scrolling entirely.
* ''Fast Graphics'' — Adds a button to toggle the Fast Graphics option on or off. This functions exactly like the Fast Graphics option under the More Tools button.

These options can also be tweaked beyond their default bounds using [[Console Commands|console commands]].

Reverb

2023-01-02T00:54:01Z

CosmicPython: Added more vital information about reverbs, such as descriptions of their effects and also proofreading to previous additions to this page.

'''Reverb''' is a feature on OS that amplifies an instrument's sound. It ideally replies reverb to a sound, but some settings also apply a special distortion to an instrument.

It can be accessed through the Advanced Menu for an instrument, and is the fourth option on this menu.
==History==
Prior to 2021, enabling reverb had only one setting, now called "Classic Reverb," and was a simple toggleable button. In 2021, the developers added new reverb settings under a dropdown menu. Later that year, a slider was added to apply reverb values between no reverb and the full amount of reverb applied from the old toggle options. [[Console Commands#Reverb and distortion|These limits can also be bypassed manually by using commands in your browser's console.]] In 2022, the developers added "Church Reverb" from a sample the user [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/15093 Cool172] provided.
==List of reverbs==
*''Classic Reverb'' — The standard reverb.
*''Small Reverb'' — Small Reverb adds a more subtle reverb to an instrument than Classic Reverb.
*''Large Reverb'' — Large Reverb has more echo and longer release than Classic Reverb.
*''Church Reverb'' ― Church Reverb was added in 2022 with a sample of [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/15093 Cool172] clapping in a church, hence the name. This reverb adds an interesting dimension which could be described as hearing that instrument in a large room.
*''Gated Reverb'' — Gated Reverb is similar to Classic Reverb, but the release cuts off more abruptly.
*''Reverse'' — Reverse applies a reversed sound playback of the note.
*''Nova'' — Stretches out the attack and release of a note, making it sound less sharp and more smooth.
*''Ripple'' — Adds a series of delayed playbacks, each reverbed and decreasing in volume sequentially.
*''Miasma'' — Miasma is similar to Nova, although Miasma minimizes the effect of the attack, thus making a softer and more consistent sound.
*''Proton'' — Proton plays a sequence of notes that cycle through various levels of electronic-esque distortion and decreasing amounts of volume. Best used in individual notes with long intervals apart from each other.
*''Schema'' — Schema plays a delayed playback, and could be best described as a hybrid of Ripple and Proton.
*''Sylph'' — Sylph immensely changes the sound, and causes it to sound more like an ethereal chime.
