Don't get me wrong, this is pretty decent for a free website, but the electric guitar is weird. Also, there needs to be a flute. I think that the creators wanted to cover every basic instrument that people should or could use, but i think they forgot the flute, or some sort of skinny, high pitched, instrument. And lastly, the scale. I think that all instruments should be playable anywhere on the grid. I hope the creators read this and do something. They don't have to though, this is pretty fine for a free website. I just hope it stays free.
Yes. We all know and love the electric guitar.
Sarcasm aside, while I do agree that adding more instruments/adding true note length should be a potential update that Jacob needs to work on, I just don't find it too necessary at this time. Maybe it's because I'm biased and that I mainly use piano only, but honestly I believe OS has been more for drafting than actually making a final product (but it still has that quality of being one.) I shouldn't be one to force you to cope with it and suddenly expect you to know the whole chord theory, but take into mind that you can still work and master with what instruments you have now.
About all instruments being playable on all the keys? Yeah no. The synths/sci-fi need it, but that defeats the point of a bass section if it's played in the 7th octave. Maybe a few extra notes would keep me from ragequitting, even if they aren't realistically playable. Some people actually use the unplayed notes for writing in watermarks or extending a sequence rest so it doesn't loop automatically when the last measure is over with.
Unrelated note, I'm actually pretty salty on these suggestions (now only because this comment flicked me off a while back.) But I'd go my way and explain why I feel against them in a formal manner since this is the forums, otherwise I do tend to rush people off the chat like a five-year-old. An instrument not existing or isn't good really doesn't cover a valid excuse for not sequencing.
