I literally found this site by looking up Online Sequencer. A long time ago I used to play this game LittleBigPlanet where the things you use to make music are called Sequencers. I wondered if there was something like this over the internet, hence the keywords I put on the search query were "Online Sequencer."
Online Sequencer is just really simple to use. Single click notes, easy to adapt instruments, and a bunch of versatile maneuverability makes it great to use for me as someone who likes to compose on the fly. Plus it's in browser-- no downloads required to get the full experience of the sequencer.
The site also makes it straight to the point to compose music. I find all the features Online Sequencer lacks to be more beneficial towards focusing on the actual music, and not the effects being played by the instruments. Of course it will take some more advanced people to figure how to make something sound the way you want, but as an amateur composer, it's more important to focus on the foundations of music that is being made.
Another "flaw" that Online Sequencer seems to idolize is the lack of instruments. I'd rather have a limited set of instruments on this site actually. It gives the site a certain charm against other programs that have the whole orchestra to use.
Think about it like this, if you wanted to make pixel art, would you use Microsoft Paint or Photoshop? You're most likely to use Paint because not only it's more accessible, it just gets the job done since you have the minimum of what you need. When I have used other music programs, there were many things that I either A. didn't know how to use, or B. didn't need to use them.
Now the negative things about this site, since I happen to shine more positivity on what this site lacks.
It's resource intensive for longer projects. Since the whole site is based on a whole bunch of code being loaded, having anything more than a couple thousand notes in a sequence will lag your computer regardless of what model you use.
Export MIDI still remains to be a problem in certain areas of the sequence. Some notes seem to overlap each other in the export if you position them a certain way on the site. Jacob doesn't plan on fixing this, however.
8-bit and Reverb don't work for me.
Back in the old days, the site used to be down a lot mainly because there were too many connections to the server. I don't find this a problem anymore, because thank god Jacob got a free bandwidth upgrade.
But yeah, there you go, my long rant about OS. I've been using it for ages and I definitely know the nooks and crannies of the site.
