Show HN: Make audio loops online (makeloops.online)

It looks great. A couple of features that would make it truly useful are currently missing:

- Save/Load and Import/Export functionality.

- The ability to edit loops after they have been added.

Thanks for sharing.

Very fun. Needs an educational mode.

Love it, I got no musical background. But got me hooked.

It’s a bit low effort. If you like this kind of thing I’d suggest

Fun! Well done.

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.

Minor bug:

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 created this pattern.

I wish it was shareable but couldn't find the share feature.

Perhaps fun fact: I uploaded the screenshot into Gemini and asked it to transform it into ASCII. Claude made a less pretty one.

Love it! I've been planning to learn music. This pushed me further.

This is great! Really intuitive and clean.

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 stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Great way to help nudge people along in musical interest.

If you change octave while programming a melody it loses it - eg I place C4 then change to octave 5 using the dropdown and place C5 then switch back to octave 4 and place C4 etc

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.
