'''Instrument Stacking''' is a feature for Online Sequencer that was added to the [https://test.onlinesequencer.net/ testing page] on 5/2/2026, and added to the [https://onlinesequencer.net/ main site] on 5/9/2026.

'''Instrument Stacking''' adds a new menu inside the [[Instrument Options#Advanced options|advanced instrument options]] that allows you to add any [[Instruments|instrument]] in a sequence to a "stack", playing the added instrument along with the instrument with stacking enabled.

== Brief Overview ==

== Mixing ==
Instrument stacked instruments have [[Instrument Options|mixing]] that's '''inherited''' from the '''stacked instruments.'''

== Stacking Options ==

=== Offset ===
This option changes the octave played of the selected instrument within the stack be however many you select.

For instance, if you were to '''create a stack''' with the ''E-Piano instrument'', if you set the '''Offse'''t to ''+1'' it would play the ''E-Piano'' '''one octave higher''' than the ''instrument with'' '''stacking enabled.'''

=== Delay ===
This option adds a delay between when the instrument with '''stacking enabled''', and the '''stacked instrument''' ''are played''.

''<big>'''For the delay, the options are:'''</big>''
* ''0''
* ''1''
* ''1/2''
* ''1/3''
* ''1/4''
* ''1/6''
* ''1/8''
* ''1/12''
* ''1/16''

What this means is the grid size of the note between the stacking and stacked instrument.

For instance, if you were to select ''1/2'' it would have the same effect as if you were to play a note from the ''stacking instrument'', and then place a note from the ''stacked instrument'' '''one note away on the 1/2 grid'''.

'''''<big>For the multiple, the options are:</big>'''''
* ''x1''
* ''x2''
* ''x3''
* ''x4''
* ''x5''
* ''x6''
* ''x7''
* ''x8''

What this does is take a note from the stacked instrument, and move it x grid size notes away.

Let's take our example from earlier.

If you were to now change the '''multiple''' of the ''1/2 delay'' to '''2x''', that would make the ''stacked instrument'' note play '''2 notes on the 1/2 grid apart''' from the stacking instrument.

'''''<big>When set to "0", the delay is disabled.</big>'''''

== Useful Resources ==
Currently, there is one helpful resource for instrument stacking, providing a place for users to share their instrument stacks with other members of the Online Sequencer community through the forums.
