''[[Online Sequencer]]'' was created by [[Jacob Morgan]] 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 sequences.
The community around the site expanded as well, adding a forum, chat, and this wiki.


==Overview==
[https://onlinesequencer.net/wiki/Special:AllPages?hideredirects=1 All wiki pages]
Online Sequencer (/ɒnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsə/; /ɑnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsər/) is a web-based (HTML) MIDI editor 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 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 commands in the browser console.

Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and 'drawing' notes on the grid, with the default 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.

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(-1200cents to +1200cents), reverb, distortion, and an equalizer. This array lets users configure specific instruments in order 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.
