Arpeggiator pad · qwen3.5-9b

The user wants me to build a pentatonic synthesizer pad grid and arpeggiator using Tone.js. Let me break down the requirements:

1. **10 labeled pads** for two octaves of a C-major pentatonic scale
   - C major pentatonic scale: C, D, E, G, A
   - Two octaves: C3-D3-E3-G3-A3 and C4-D4-E4-G4-A4
   - Clicking a pad plays its note through synthesized voice with reverb
   - Visibly marks the active pad

2. **Sequence selection toggle for each pad**
   - Start with a nonempty selection
   - Arpeggiator plays selected notes in ascending pitch order
   - One note per eighth-note step

3. **Arpeggiator controls**
   - Play, Stop buttons
   - Tempo control from 60 to 180 BPM
   - Tempo and selection changes take effect during playback
   - Empty selection produces no new notes

4. **Audio activation**
   - Activate audio through user gesture (required by browser autoplay policies)
   - Stop prevents new arpeggiator notes (allows decay to finish)
   - Repeated Play must not create overlapping schedulers

5. **Pure synthesis** - no audio files to load

Since the runner provides `tone.min.js` as a local file, I need to use it with a script tag.

Let me create the index.html file:

I need to set up the structure with the pad grid generation, control buttons, and the modal for initializing audio when the user first interacts with the page.

The pentatonic scale spans two octaves from Middle C upwards, creating 10 distinct notes. When clicked, each pad will trigger its corresponding note to play for a short duration with a decaying envelope. Color grading will help distinguish between the notes visually.

Each pad includes a toggle switch for enabling targeted arpeggiation of that specific note within the arpeggiator pattern.

Starting with middle C as the first note, the DOM will build the pad-grid dynamically with each pad representing a note in the scale, allowing users to select individual notes for arpeggio playback.

When an audio context isn't available, the page displays a modal prompting users to start the synthesizer. The play and stop buttons manage audio context creation, with proper initialization checks before attempting to access Tone.js's audio capabilities.

Good, the `tone.min.js` file is present. Now I'll create the index.html file with all the required functionality.

The file I wrote doesn't look quite right - I'm using a mix of my own styling and what looks like some other framework. Let me rewrite this properly with clean, simple HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript that doesn't depend on any external framework. I need to use the Tone.js library directly.
