it "looks" a lot better than it did, but I have no idea what is going on. Used to play around with the old version quite a lot when bored at work :)

I guess I was just used to how it worked before, this re-design of multiple full screen views is confusing, couldn't figure out how to get things to play, quick live edits don't seem possible now either.

It did take me a while to make a decision about the separate screens. I wanted a more fully featured piano roll screen and couldn't fit it in properly underneath the synth like the old version. I thought about putting the piano roll in a window so that you could still see the controls at the same time. This could be an option in a future update.

also couldn't get it to work in FF, just sits at loading, even though had turned off ublock / noscript / privacybadger and had to load up chrome.

It should show a full screen message on FF to say that it will not work as well as Chrome. It has a continue button to hide the message. Did you see that or did it just show the loading bar straight away?
