How to choose
Pick Online Sequencer if: You want to write a melody by clicking notes on a piano roll. You do not have your own audio. You want to share or remix MIDI-style sequences with a community.
Pick Chppr if: You have a song, vocal, or sample you want to chop up. You want to lay slices on pads and program a beat. You want to export to a DAW or share the project link.
They overlap in the sense that both run in a browser and both make beats, but the input is fundamentally different. Online Sequencer asks "what notes do you want?" — Chppr asks "what audio do you have, and how should it be sliced?"
Can you use both?
Yes, and many producers do. Write a melody on Online Sequencer, export the audio, drop it into Chppr, chop and rearrange. Or chop a sample in Chppr, export WAV slices, drop them into a DAW and sequence with MIDI there.
The browser is not yet a full DAW — but with focused tools chained together you can get a long way without installing anything.
