Elevator Pitch
OFFLOOP Web MIDI Sequencer
Product Description
How It’s Innovative
Using 32 steps but only looping a part of this. Moving the offset (the start and end) keeps the loop in time with variations at the end or beginning of the loop and can create an massive amount of variation from a limited number of steps.

Most Inspiring Use Cases
Using OFFLOOP i have been able to create long song style sequences, arranged with a key song structure table that is usually impossible with sequencers with subtle changes running throughout the song. Also I am able to test sequences with different key structures. It just sounds great!
Expansion Plans
I am interested in developing a standard for sequencer note storage which contains additional information such as key root note, scale, song transposition and a tempo map in addition to usual note storage. The offset loop method is a good way to compress data.
Commercialization
I plan to build this in hardware with the presets to be interchangeable between the Web app and the Python based hardware device, with MIDI 2.0 compliance.
