Welcome to the '''Online Sequencer Wiki''', a guide designed to help navigate and use [https://onlinesequencer.net/ Online Sequencer].
== Worn-Out Suspension? Signs That May Aid-In Identification! ==
The suspension, among the engine or the transmission had been a fantastic addition to the car because it makes driving even on uneven surfaces incredibly smooth.


==Overview==
However, it usually gets less attention. However, the suspension may be prone to deterioration, especially if there are frequent instances of short-braking and driving on poor roads (filled with potholes). It might be carrying additional weight in the boot or on top.
'''Online Sequencer''' is a web-based music [[wikipedia:Music_sequencer|sequencer]] that allows users to create music saved online, or on their computer. 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. 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 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.
Continuous exposure to such conditions will have an adverse effect on a car’s suspension. However, the suspension system in a car will eventually wear out even if it isn’t frequently subjected to such circumstances.

There are ways to prevent and learn about a worn suspension, but driving with one is still a serious threat. Here is a list of some symptoms that indicate a problematic suspension that may require repair.
== History ==
Online Sequencer was created on January 2, 2013 by Jacob Morgan during a break at Georgia Tech.  


Beginning in the fall of 2013, accounts were available but were separate from the music portion of the site. They were only used in the forum and the website chat.
=== Is your car drifting to one side? ===
Though a drifting car is not necessarily a sign of suspension issues, it might be a sign of misaligned wheels, bad steering, or even tyres.


In 2015, accounts were linked to the main website and allowed songs to be saved under someone's username.
However, it requires a thorough inspection to identify the cause. But it is equally dangerous to drive a car that is not under your control. Eliminate all the possibilities, and then work your way towards wherever the repair is due.


The World Update in 2018 added several new instruments and changed the landscape of sound design on the site. The "[https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-2178.html?highlight=world World Update Contest]" was held for the update.
A low pressure tyre might be a less severe problem. However, an underinflated tyre is visible to the naked eye. Besides, you can consult with a mechanic to get the best opinion.


Starting in late 2020, OS began to receive a variety of updates which vastly improved the functionality of the site. These updates introduced features like custom grid sizes, automation with [[markers]], extra [[reverb]] options, [[detune]], and [[distortion]]. In 2021, the "[https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-4739.html?highlight=space Space Race]" contest was held, as to see who could work best with the changes.
Next, the wheel alignment comes into play, as misaligned wheels always pull a vehicle to one side of the road while driving straight. Wheel alignment does not only get a vehicle drifted to one side, but it is also a major reason behind premature wear and tear of tyres. Get it checked or even a wheel alignment at the workshop of Service My Car. In case you own a Toyota car, and Wondering, how to find the nearest toyota specialist to get the wheel alignment service? Open google type [https://servicemycar.com/uk/toyota-repair-warrington toyota specialist near me] and you will find Service My Car on the top to get the best wheel alignment service in the town.


In late 2022, newer, higher-quality instruments were added. Some of the instruments, such as Electric Piano, Grand Piano, Violin, and Cello got an updated sustained version, while the original versions still exist under the "classic" designation.
If there is no issues such as improper tyre pressure or wheel misalignment, now look for the suspension problems. Your vehicle has developed damage to shock absorber or it might be a broken tie rod, control arm, etc.


Currently, the [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-7496.html 10-Year Anniversary Contest]  is being held.
You might feel your car pulling to one side as you round a corner, as if it might flip over. These might be signs of suspension failure.


== Features ==
Get your vehicle to a trusted workshop such as service My Car for a suspension repair.
Within the editor, numerous user interface features allow for various changes which will impact the individual sequence on that page.  


===Basic features===
=== Is it your car nose-diving? ===
UI features include:
A car should typically be able to handle hard braking without much difficulty, especially if the suspension is in good shape. Additionally, nose-diving, when applying sudden brakes is a sign that your vehicle’s suspension needs immediate repair.


*Tempo (10-999 BPM)
The weight of the vehicle shifts to the front as a result of motion, but this weight transfer should be normal under usual circumstances (when shock absorbers and struts are in good condition), but it may appear as your car is nose-diving.
*Measure count or Time count (MM: SS.ssss)
*Time signature (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4)
*Grid size (This correlates to note divisions; 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2)
*Auto Scroll (Fast, Smooth, Off; how the sequencer displays measures off-screen as a sequence plays)
*Add an Audio Track (This won't be saved to the sequence but will play alongside it for ease of transcription)
*Title input
*Draw, select, and erase
*Instrument dropdown, instrument options, and select instrument (selects all notes of the current instrument)
*Select all, Cut, Copy, and Paste
*Zoom options
*Export options
*Help
*Fullscreen
*Tooltips


===Advanced features===
When you attempt to accelerate the car, reverse happens when you unexpectedly feel like you are completely leaned back. Besides, you can notice a suspension issue even when your car is static, for example, resting in a garage. It usually sits low on the side where a shock absorber or strut is damaged.
''Main article: [[Instrument Options]]''


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|reverb]], [[Distortion|distortion]], and an [[Equalizer|equalizer]]. This array lets users configure specific instruments to create specific sounds, and textures, or to accompany other instruments as a layer or development of the original sound.
Additionally, a car that makes a loud noise (especially clunking) every time it crosses a bump or takes a turn has developed a bad suspension. A weak or worn spring is broken entirely or cannot support the car’s weight properly.


OS also allows for commands to be entered in the browser console to manipulate different options in specific ways, such as setting custom to detune values (0-infinity), custom grid sizes, note divisions, and sequence ID 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.
However, ignorance will definitely lead to more damage and even catastrophic events down the road. Service My Car helps you manage your car properly.


== Browser and device support ==
=== Is your car throwing challenge while driving? ===
Online Sequencer supports Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave. Firefox is also supported, but often with limited functionality. Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported, due to engine issues.
However, if your suspension is bad, you might find handling it difficult. But a car’s steering problems could also cause a distraction while it’s moving.


Other mobile browsers support sequence playback, but not editing. However, iOS users have the same problem with WebKit on macOS. However, unlike in macOS, all browsers (even Chromium-based browsers) use WebKit as the engine for iOS due to Apple prohibiting other engines for [https://www.ghacks.net/2022/12/16/apple-may-drop-the-webkit-requirement-for-web-browsers-on-ios/#:~:text=As%20you%20may%20know%2C%20all%20web%20browsers%20on,restriction%2C%20imposed%20by%20the%20company%2C%20could%20be%20revoked security reasons]; iOS does not support Online Sequencer, other than [[chat]] and [[forums]].
However, steering and suspension share some sort of connection, and a difficulty in handling highlights an issue with either steering or suspension. A vehicle is out of balance due to worn suspension or steering problems such as low power steering fluid, damaged control arm bushings, etc.


The website's user interface is formatted for proper use on desktops, but some pages such as the [[chat]] page, [[Playlist|playlists]], and [[forums]] should be formatted well on mobile devices.
Additionally, you might hear some squealing or whining. Have a service centre visit with your vehicle so they can identify the issue.
 
=== Oil cover around the shock absorbers ===
The shocks and struts may start to leak once they sustain some sort of damage. It is quite possible that the fluid is leaking if they appear oily or greasy, which makes it impossible for them to work properly. Get your vehicle to Service My Car for a quick check-up.
 
=== Opt for a bounce test ===
You can take a suspension test to determine whether your suspension has any issues. It requires you to get out of the car and lean down on the hood with all your force. Try to push a few times and initiate some bounce.
 
Once it starts to bounce, just get away and look out for a result. If it bounces more than a couple of times, you need to get your car‘s suspension checked immediately.
 
Service My Car provides car maintenance to keep your vehicle running perfectly on the road. However, you just need to book a car service or order a car repair quote on our website or app.
