Seems you can only have one drum and one melody track, can't add a new one? When I try it stops playing the other tracks.

I just saw your comment, I couldn't reply to it there, but I just added the edit layer feature, along with other QOL features.

Also, did you try the preview with loop button? It's in the preview drop down. It should let you preview the grid along with what's already in the loop.

You have to add them to the Looper with the "Add to the Looper" button. I need to think of a better UX for that. Let me know if you have ideas!

I did that, so maybe I'm just missing something but after adding them to the looper and deleting the notes to start a new layer, the old layer doesn't play anymore.

I'd suggest instead of making the loop layers and editors "siblings" ontologically, instead default on app load to have a single layer, then have the option to add more layers and switch between them - add layer then edit, instead of creating a layer and adding it to a list.

I really do like the randomization though, it actually sounded surprisingly nice. Took me a moment to realize what was happening but it's actually a seemingly simple feature that's hard to achieve in full blown DAWs.
