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.

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. | Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and "drawing" notes on the grid, with the default [[Instruments|instrument]] being Electric Piano.
