I also can't resist sharing mine:
I gotta share mine as well: http://sampulator.com/melvins_shozin/melody-is-symfony
Initially I wanted to call it "Less is More" since I was mostly deleting notes because they convoluted things. But I was also inspired making this sound snippet by the first melody track on the top, hence Melody is Symfony.
I don't know what you plan to do with it but I just had the perfect hour of my life. No feedback on that part. I also don't know how you could surprise me to keep that level up since the constraints in samples that I needed to take was key for having the perfect hour (also mentioned by skndr as "paradox of choice").
Here's what I came up with.

Edit: turn the metronome off by clicking on it, that two circles that alternately light up.
Maybe my ears are messed up, but I seem to be hearing that the "Keys" sounds are interrupting each other, in a way that none of the other sounds seem to do. That is, if you play two of them simultaneously, only one will be heard. If you play one a fraction behind another the first will be preempted. Normally the "Keys" sounds have a lovely sustain, so this disappoints.

Some suggestions for future features:
- Easier way of doing layering
- Easy way to swap out the instruments would also be cool.
- An open source, self-hostable version would also be nice.
now if you press 'esc' it will stop recording and delete the loop
Any plans to allow people to save remixes of other people's songs?
We should use Meteor, RethinkDB or ClojureScript + Om Next + Datomic for realtime subscriptions and syncing of collaborating users.
...hows midi support looking these days? Is it fully functional in Chrome?
it should be a codeable music creation platform. a console while making those beats could do a lot of stuff. you write an API to appergiate hits for example:
arp(4, 16, 'hi-hat') ....16th notes for a bar.
plugins could be made to collect stats, and generate visualizations. lots of stuff.
...but it all starts from being able to live code this collaboratively and remotely. ...u gotta use a single state store like Redux or what you can do with Om Next so you can syncronize events between all connected clients and so you can replay it after each keyup eval. It probably should just be made with React + Redux since so many people know that. If you did that, you'd get so many people using this.
That said I'm in the middle of building a collaborative live-coding platform for React + Redux. And your project would be the perfect pilot project to show off the platform. And basically both win.
...i know ur likely thinking about the direction of all this and whether u wanna open source it or not. But you should--its where u stand to gain the most. It's not like there isn't a plethora of commercial music production software that will be better than it for some time. U need the support of a large open source team to beat those guys out.
anyway, think about it. when u open source it, i'll contribute it. React + Redux baby! Or perhaps Cycle. Although I'd say ClojureScript + Om Next, except that will likely get less contribution since CLJS is foreign to most people.
