A 16-step circular sequencer. Click a step to arm it. The playhead sweeps the ring; armed steps blip and bloom. Drag the tempo. Share the URL — the pattern rides along in the hash.

how the loop works

Sixteen cells around a ring. Click any cell to toggle it.
Cells are tuned to a pentatonic scale (low at top, climbing clockwise).
Each blip triggers one of three center animations: bloom, glitch, ripple.
Tempo: 60–180 bpm. Pattern + tempo are encoded in the URL — share a groove as a link.
In ascii mode, the ring becomes [ ] / [X] cells and the center types in bursts.
