alt Hacker NewsWhat's the value of modeling these as petri nets instead of a regular sequencer? I was expecting some sort of branching, or at least multiple tokens per ring, but I can't figure out how to set that up.
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.

I played with it for a while and implementation is perhaps not the strongest aspect of this project.

Is just browser jank I think, with JS in browsers it is infamously hard to get the timing right and consistent, sequencing make this painfully obvious.
Browsers intentionally add jitter to timing methods like setTimeout and setInterval to avoid fingerprinting and other side channel style attacks. When I've messed with building in-browser sequencers in the past you had to use a webworker with the clock that sends messages back to the main event loop, although I'm sure there's reasons that won't work these days either.
