Build a 16-step drum machine with a clickable grid for kick, snare, hi-hat, and clap, all sounds synthesized with the Web Audio API, plus play/stop and an adjustable BPM.

The user wants a 16-step drum machine as a single-page web app (`index.html`).
Key requirements:
- 16 steps.
- 4 sounds: kick, snare, hi-hat, clap.
- Synthesized sounds using Web Audio API (no external samples).
- Clickable grid for sequencing.
- Play/Stop buttons.
- Adjustable BPM.
- Single file: CSS in `<style>`, JS in `<script>`.
- No external resources/CDNs.
Plan:
1. HTML structure:
- Title.
- Controls: BPM input, Play/Stop button.
- Grid: 4 rows (one for each instrument) x 16 columns (steps).
2. CSS:
- Basic styling for the grid (cells), controls, and layout.
- Active/inactive states for cells.
- Highlighting the current step during playback.
3. JavaScript:
- Web Audio API setup (AudioContext).
- Synthesizer functions for Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, and Clap.
- Sequencing logic:
- State: Current step, BPM, isPlaying, grid data.
- `scheduler` or `setInterval`/`requestAnimationFrame` for timing (though `AudioContext.currentTime` is better for precision).
- A loop that triggers sounds based on the grid state.
- Event listeners for clicking cells and controlling playback.
Let's design the synth sounds:
- Kick: Sine wave sweep from high to low frequency + short decay.
- Snare: White noise with a bandpass filter + short decay, and maybe a low-frequency "pop" sine wave.
- Hi-hat: High-pass filtered white noise with very short decay.
- Clap: A burst of noise with a specific envelope (multiple short peaks) or just a filtered noise burst.
Implementation details for Timing:
To avoid jitter, I'll use a "look-ahead" scheduler.
- `nextNoteTime` keeps track of when the next step should occur.
- A `scheduler()` function runs frequently and schedules notes for the next few hundred milliseconds using `oscillator.start(time)`.

The user wants a 16-step drum machine.
Key requirements:
- Single file `index.html`.
- No external resources (CDNs, network requests).
- 16-step grid for: Kick, Snare, Hi-hat, Clap.
- Sounds synthesized using Web Audio API (no audio files).
- Play/Stop functionality.
- Adjustable BPM.
- CSS in `<style>`, JS in `<script>`.
Plan:
1. HTML Structure:
- Header with title.
- Controls: Play/Stop button, BPM input.
- Grid: 4 rows (instruments) x 16 columns (steps).
2. CSS Styling:
- Modern dark theme.
- Grid layout for steps.
- Visual feedback for the current step (playhead).
- Active state for toggled steps.
3. JS Logic:
- Web Audio API context initialization.
- Sound synthesis functions for:
- Kick: Frequency sweep (sine wave).
- Snare: White noise + short burst of low frequency.
- Hi-hat: High-pass filtered white noise.
- Clap: Short bursts of noise with a specific envelope.
- Sequencer loop:
- Use `setInterval` or `requestAnimationFrame` but preferably a precise Web Audio clock for timing.
- Track current step (0-15).
- Trigger corresponding sounds if the step is active.
- Event handlers for clicking the grid and updating BPM.
Let's refine the sound synthesis:
- Kick: Oscillator (sine), fast pitch drop from ~150Hz to ~40Hz.
- Snare: White noise with a short decay, combined with a triangle wave (~180Hz) for the "snap".
- Hi-hat: White noise with a high-pass filter and very short decay.
- Clap: Several short bursts of noise closely spaced to simulate the hand-clap "cluster" effect.
