Build a music step sequencer with Vue and Vuetify
Blog post from LogRocket
Vue's versatility allows it to be integrated with various JavaScript libraries, enabling the development of diverse projects ranging from simple applications to complex systems. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a functional music step sequencer using Vue, Vuetify, and howler.js. Vuetify provides a collection of customizable components for building the app's user interface, while howler.js simplifies audio handling by wrapping the Web Audio API. The sequencer allows users to create and save beats as presets, manage playback with tempo adjustments, and utilize a metronome for rhythm measurement. The app's components are constructed in Vue, leveraging properties, methods, and event handling to ensure smooth functionality. The project involves setting up a base audio functionality, including the integration of sound samples and managing playback through a scheduler loop. The sequencer also features user-friendly controls for playing, stopping, and managing tracks, with the ability to save and load presets, all stored locally in the user's browser via the Web Storage API.
