Beta features, early releases, and tests are tested before release. A '''test site''', launched on October 3, 2020, exists. Developers push new features for testing before releasing them to the main site.
The [https://test.onlinesequencer.net/ '''test site'''] is a separate front-end of the site for testing new instruments and features before pushing them to the main branch. You can access it by adding <code>test.onlinesequencer</code> to the URL of a page. On the test site, profile pictures and playlist thumbnails will not load, the interfaces for sequence pages are older, and the forum/wiki lacks formatting or are not found respectively.
== Synthesizer ==
Currently being tested is an adjustable synthesizer instrument (ID 55). Similar to the 8-bit instruments, it makes use of the Web Audio API instead of samples. When selecting the instrument, the synthesizer tab is shown, with the following options:
[[File:Synthesizertab marked.png|thumb|The synthesizer tab]]
# Waveform: the base waveform and sound to use for the instrument. Can be sine, square, sawtooth, or triangle.
# Filter: The type of filter pass and frequency to use can be selected with the dropdown menu and slider. A low pass, high pass, and band pass are available.
#* Currently, it seems like the high pass and band pass are mislabeled as each other.
# Resonance: A slider controlling the resonance of the filter.
# Oscillator waveform: The waveform to use for the oscillator.
# Oscillator period/toggle: Allows you to turn the oscillator on or off, along with its period.
# Oscillator type and amplitude: The dropdown menu allows you to select what the oscillators affects; volume, pitch, and the filter intensity can be adjusted. The slider controls the effect of the oscillation.
# ASDR: ASDR can be toggled on the left side of the tab. When enabled, the ASDR sliders will control the attack, delay, sustain, and release of the synthesizer.
