I created a loop in the drum mode, and then wanted to add a melodic track to it, so I clicked the melodic button. This erased my drum pattern instead - would be good if they could play over each other, and would not be erased by switching.
Edit: Fixed!
I'd suggest instead of making the loop layers and editors "siblings" ontologically, instead default on app load to have a single layer, then have the option to add more layers and switch between them - add layer then edit, instead of creating a layer and adding it to a list.
I really do like the randomization though, it actually sounded surprisingly nice. Took me a moment to realize what was happening but it's actually a seemingly simple feature that's hard to achieve in full blown DAWs.
Also, did you try the preview with loop button? It's in the preview drop down. It should let you preview the grid along with what's already in the loop.
if you manage to Mute a synth part between the note on and note off events it will continually sound until pressing stop, even if un-muting that part.
I tap the stop button again to make it stop.
I wish it was shareable but couldn't find the share feature.

Edit: Implemented!
It would be nice if when you add a note in the “melodic” set it played it as you add it, rather than having to add them then preview the loop.
Great way to help nudge people along in musical interest.
Expected behaviour would be to have a simple oscillating octave pattern. When I press “preview” it plays it in whatever octave register I’ve selected in the drop down - so if I’m in octave 4 when I press preview it plays c4 repeatedly. If I’m in octave 5 it plays c5 repeatedly.
A way to get around this problem is to program octave 4's in one grid, save to the loop, and add another layer of octave 5's.
I could easily program supporting multiple instruments/octaves in a single grid but I'm not sure if that'll be intuitive to use. I'll do some research on this.
Auxy is a great iteration of what you are building.
Tried Auxy, it's a great app!

- Save/Load and Import/Export functionality.
- The ability to edit loops after they have been added.
Thanks for sharing.
