About the author

Hi, I'm Lucent.

I found Online Sequencer back in 2014, but I've been making music starting from December 2015.

While I've written multiple guides for the website in the past, most of them are rather embarrassing to read and that this current guide is an indicator for how much progress I've made since then.

My main genres are jazz, fusion, math rock, piano, electronic, and VGM. I also enjoy listening to orchestral music, hardcore, noise, and Taiwanese rock.

In my free time, I like to draw on my Wacom tablet, cook food, and write tutorials for the Lucent Guide. I am also a language enthusiast that studies 12 languages and I'm currently taking a degree of Business French in college.

Nowadays I'm also figuring out how to program (front-end development) and I'm thinking about rewriting the tutorial's site infrastructure soon.

Since you've made it this far, I'd like to say thank you for reading my guide!

I plan on staying on the website for a long time, so please expect future updates!

Special thanks to:

Wafels—for giving me a reason to live

Jacob—for giving 70,000+ users a reason to live

Liam—for contributing major quality-of-life updates to the site

Aesthete—for helping me figure out the peak of my console technique career

Frank—for his hard research on OS backend, and for developing Offline Sequencer as well as PCM converter

Muhngkee—for being one of my major inspirations, and for figuring out drum frequency formula

Celt—for being precious

Jonah—for teaching me some crucial sound advice in the past

Eric—because you'll complain if I don't put you on here
