I made a little midi sequencer for your browser! 
Inspired by Mario Paint Composer and other similar tools, 
I wanted something that could import soundfont files and make silly little tunes.

🍊 How to Play:

  • Click (and drag) the grid to place notes!
  • Right click (or ctrl/cmd+click) a note to delete it!
  • Press Space to play / pause!
  • Use asdfghjkl; and wetyuop keys to practice! 
    • Plus and minus keys increase or decrease the octave.
  • Use 1, 2, 3, etc. to quickly swap between instruments!
  • Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+Shift+Z will undo and redo changes!

🐠 Expert Tips:

  • Clicking on the space above the grid, where the dog lives, will move the dog to where you clicked!
    • If you double click that space, you can loop a single "measure"
    • Then, click and drag the repeat symbols to change where your "looping" happens.
    • Click the looping arrow all the way to the left to reset this.
  • Use shift to quickly swap between note pencil and select mode!
  • Hold shift + drag the cursor to select notes!
  • Press shift + 1, 2, 3, etc. to select all notes for a given instrument!
  • Press 'q' to switch between triplet and quarter note mode.
  • Press 'r' to switch between 4/4 and 3/4 mode.
  • Hold shift + double click a measure to select all notes in that measure.
  • Hold ctrl/cmd + double click a measure to delete all notes in that measure.
  • Use escape to clear note selection!

📚 How do I run it offline?

1. Download offline.zip and unzip it.

2. Open up the index.html file

3. The soundfont doesn't auto-load, so you will have to click "Upload .sf2" and upload the included microgm.sf2 file!


TODO (ignore if ur not jakeonaut):
  • [ ] - :think: patterns???? (https://github.com/danigb/smplr#pattern-chain-song-mode)
  • [ ] make it play nicer in mobile
  • clicking and dragging multiple triplet notes doesn't properly set their relative note offsets to each other
  • same with clicking and dragging quarter notes when triplets are ALSO selected

    Make an offline version (Bundle'em all into an html)

    Alright, I included an "offline.zip" file that contains the bundled html and the "microgm.sf2" (that you will need to "Upload" in order for the offline version to work). I included a README.txt as well with instructions.

    MIDI Import please!

    (1 edit)

    Working on mp3 export next (having some problems properly converting the audioBuffer with the lamejs library I'm trying), and then I'll take a look at MIDI Import! 

    Theoretically it should just work in reverse as to what I have for MIDI export, but I'm not sure if I'll run into any weird bugs.

    Alright, I just uploaded a version with MIDI import! Let me know how that works!

    Bonus: add a tempo number

    Yay! This is a cool new way to use the few .sf2 files I've been piling up with the years :)

    Nice tool! Quick suggest: play note when clicking the keys on the left.

    Thank you! And okay, I just added this! I apparently had it in the code already but it was commented out when I was refactoring something else.

    cool app! But please use consistent icons, right now some are emojis and some are images

    I really like it, easy to use at least for me

    Always a good day when you make something, this is neat
