FFS (Floyd's Fine Sequencer)

What is it? This is a 16 step, 8 tracks, 8 pattern MIDI sequencer using WEBMIDI javascript. This should run on any device running Chromium Browsers (e.g. Android, Raspberry PI, Windows).

Hardware needed You'll need a MIDI controller with some buttons and knobs and some kind of external MIDI tone generator connected to your Smartphone, PC or Raspberry.

Turning the "note length" knob will adjust note length.
Turning the "velocity" knot will adjust velocity.
Holding the "copy" button while pressing a step button will copy the note you last worked on to that step.
Holding "copy" and pressing a track button will mute or unmute that track.
Pressing a "track select" button will create a new track and select it (or select the track existing in that slot)
Holding "pattern" and pressing a "track select" button will create a new pattern and select it (or select the pattern existing in that slot).
Repeating that step multiple times will queue patterns in your playback list.
