There are a lot of Euclidean sequencing tools out there already, in both software and hardware. The premium offerings in the latter category are Elektron sequencers/ samplers/ synthesizers and the Oxi One, a pure MIDI sequencer. but there are many others. Euclidean sequencing is generally combined with things like conditional triggering (playing a note based on probability or a specific iteration of a loop or doing some sort of logic operation on another note in the sequence) and parameter locking (anchoring other parameters like velocity or control data to specific notes). I have the impression taht the authors of this project aren't very familiar with the electronic music marketplace, given that Euclidean sequencing is found even on budget gear now because it's so easy to implement and intuitive for musicians to exploit.

Incidentally, on Vivaldi (built on Chrome) this renders as black text on dark grey, making it nearly unreadable - probably because it's following system defaults, but I think a lot of people have system colors set dark by default.

Thanks for checking out my blog - yes it's heavily written by claude, and contains AI slop ;-)

I'm a lover of petri-nets this was my most interesting experiment so far.

I do have another version of this post that shows a a vis each instrument as a petri-net.

https://blog.stackdump.com/posts/beats-launch-jambox - the 'stage' view shows a better viz.

NOTE: As you all have mentioned - this doesn't work well on phones - I would try this again with another non-browser framework, but the browser is a fun place to iterate w/ claude: Open to suggestions here

also : this project is open source https://github.com/stackdump/beats-bitwrap-io

I can answer any questions - this is almost 100% vibe coded app using claude code, and I do make use of a separate render farm using a headless chrome if I want reproducible builds.

    - the demo on the page makes no sound and is visibly off (triggers happen when the token is at the wrong location, or not at all)
    - the demo video is boring
    - it doesn't even _do the thing_? it's just a 1d piano roll in a circle? there's no fun petri net dynamics?

Horizontal (left-to-right) sequencer displays like a piano roll or step sequencer are far more compact to display and easier to read. For drums parts, it's one dimensional until you add a second layer, and then the parts stack vertically, nicely on top of each other.

It's all to say that I don't really see much advantage in this petri nets paradigm. Even the trigger conditions and probabilities have already been incorporated into a large number of DAWs and hardware sequencers. This feels a little like someone who has discovered fire independently from the rest of civilization, but in this day and age I don't think that counts for much when all they had to do was observe the design paradigms that already exist.

In the end, the proof is in the pudding: How good is the music made with the tool? Does the technique allow us to more easily do something that was previously difficult or tedious? In this case, I'm not yet seeing it.

The demo video has sound though, and sounds pretty cool.

Also - is it just me, or is delivery weirdly off-beat sometimes? Like, isolating to just the kick drums in a standard 4-on-the-floor techno song, it has almost a disorienting amount of delay on some of the beats.
