 - **Sliding window scheduler** — Schedules audio 200ms ahead via `requestAnimationFrame` for glitch-free playback.
 - **Dual timeline** — Sample-absolute positions for audio clips, PPQN tick positions for metronome/MIDI.

+- **Built-in metronome** — Beat-grid click scheduling with accent on beat 1. Default synthesized click sounds out of the box.
+- **Count-in (pre-roll)** — Configurable bars of click sounds before playback begins. Beat-by-beat events for UI countdown.
 - **Per-track signal chain** — Native GainNode (volume) → StereoPannerNode → GainNode (mute) → effects hook → master output.
 - **Effects plugin hook** — `connectTrackOutput(trackId, node)` inserts any `AudioNode` chain (Tone.js effects, WAM plugins, native nodes).
 - **Type-safe coordinates** — Branded `Tick` and `Sample` types prevent accidentally passing seconds where ticks or samples are expected. Zero runtime cost.
