Uses the Showpony engine and Looper.

Known Bugs

If any of these bugs are getting in the way of your experience, please let me know!

• Mouse wheel up resets music tracks. This is due to how Showpony fundamentally backtracks and how that affects Looper, and will need to be fixed in a future version of the engine.
• Tiny gaps in audio playback may occur between loops. May be inevitable due to Web Audio API.
• Some music crushed a bit. May be a limitation of the Web Audio API.
• If you scrub around a ton, or speed through (holding spacebar), sometimes music messes up.
• The engine technically works on a phone, but I've had trouble with: A) getting it into landscape mode and B) having it run smoothly. It's not a good experience on a phone in my experience, so I can't recommend it unfortunately.
