==Overview==
'''[[Online Sequencer]]''' is a web-based music [[wikipedia:Music_sequencer|sequencer]] that allows users to create music saved online or on their computer and share it with other users.
'''Online Sequencer''' is a web-based music editor 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 (labeled 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|<u>console</u>]].

''[[Online Sequencer]]'' was created by [[Jacob Morgan]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P._Burdell George Burdell] in 2013. Users can create a sequence by placing notes in a piano roll-style interface. Over time, various features were added, such as new instruments, effects, and control options for sequences. The community around the site also expanded, adding a forum, chat, and this wiki.


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.

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, 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 detune values (0-infinity), custom grid sizes, note divisions, and sequence ID's 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.
