Looks great! But on latest Android Chrome here, the live demo plays two hits then silence.

Volume warning on that demo, lol

I haven't tried the demo but I love this idea!

Would be cool if I could somehow constrain a chord to a key then enumerate the scale degrees that I want so I can make some real funky sounds that don't fit the standard Chord Qualities.

This reminds me of streudal:

I've seen some cool demos on YouTube from SwitchAngel.

Both have a music domain specific language, but they differ in essential ways:

- Strudel, TidalCycles and FoxDot are temporal-first, designed for live performance, with code rewritten on the fly.

- Dogalog is a constraints-solving composition system, for offline use.

How are things going with Sonic Pi?[1] I have lots of fond memories and don't remember there being many strongly popular alternatives some years ago... though maybe I was living under a rock (..and roll).

Very neat. Would love to see events for each instrument laid out along a timeline!
