 ==Overview==
-Online Sequencer (/ɒnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsə/; /ɑnˈlʌɪn ˈsiːkwənˌsər/) is a web-based [[wikipedia:Music_sequencer|sequencer]] 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 [[Note|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 [[Console|commands]] in the browser console.
+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.  Pianoroll 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>]].
-Upon opening the site, users can begin composing and 'drawing' notes on the grid, with the default [[Instruments|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.
