Originally started as a project to restore patterns from now defunct website 808.pixll.de just for myself, but eventually i decided to share it with others. I've seen this website mentioned a couple of times on HN:)

Currently it only supports Roland TR-808, but there will be more.

lasarkolja2• 1 year ago

Can't open the link, no https

madphilosopher• 1 year ago

Just curious, is this a corporate network restriction, or something you've configured your web browser to block? This is the first time I've seen this as a problem for Hacker News folks.

lasarkolja2• 1 year ago

Firefox (@Android) blocked it.

wesz49• 1 year ago

I had to regenerate ssl cert, give it some time and try again.

bqmjjx0kac2• 1 year ago

Nice work! It might be nice to hint to iOS users that they should disable silent mode via the little side toggle if they want to hear anything. Just a quirk of iOS that took me literally years to figure out -- I assumed it just didn't support the Web Audio API and went on with my life.

donbrae• 1 year ago

Or as the developer you can play some silent audio in the background via an `<audio>` element: https://github.com/donbrae/onscreen-piano-keyboard/blob/main.... This will ensure the Web Audio API produces sound even with the ‘silent’ switch active.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Interesting, i already do something similar and never had a chance to check if it really works. Here is my code:

var buffer = dm.audio.createBuffer(1, 1, dm.samplerate); var source = dm.audio.createBufferSource();

source.buffer = buffer; source.connect(dm.audio.destination);

if (source.start) { source.start(0); } else { source.noteOn(0); }

matteason• 1 year ago

I hit this on https://ambiph.one - my solution ended up being similar (use an <audio> element) but because I also wanted audio to play in the background and when the screen is off there's an extra step of tricking Safari into thinking it's playing a livestream, since apparently that's the only kind of audio Apple thinks should be allowed to play in the background.

Coincidentally someone asked me about this the other day so I put together a minimal demo here in case it's useful to anyone: https://codepen.io/matteason/pen/VYwdzVV

MomsAVoxell• 1 year ago

Do you mean the hardware slide toggle? I’m on an iPad on iOS and I can’t get sound working, no matter what. My iPad doesn’t have a mute toggle.

bqmjjx0kac2• 1 year ago

Yes, exactly. This is on an iPhone, to be clear. Maybe the control center on iPads has an equivalent software toggle? Sorry, that probably isn't very helpful.

moritzwarhier• 1 year ago

Thanks, I fiddled with the volume and would have given up without your advice.

And this web app is indeed very cool. Enviable idea & execution!

cdiamand• 1 year ago

Great stuff! You're missing a few bass drum notes in "When the levee breaks"

wesz49• 1 year ago

You can click on the pattern, then click on the link below "Create a copy" and add missing bass drums. It's like forking a drum pattern lol.

spapas82• 1 year ago

I had built something similar (but much less refined) for greek rhythms https://boombox-agw.pages.dev/

chaosprint3• 1 year ago

I would be happy to port some patterns to Glicol (https://glicol.org/)

only suggestion: support https...

phyzix57614• 1 year ago

Honest question. What is the current obsession with https for things that don't need to be secure like looking at drum patterns?

chaosprint3• 1 year ago

there is a login

CPLX• 1 year ago

Browsers seem to lose their mind when presented with not HTTPS content these days right?

pacifika3• 1 year ago

Interest based advertising.

ctxc• 1 year ago

I would rather everyone use HTTPS than have them individually decide if it "needs to be secure".

whstl• 1 year ago

For me: wi-fi and mobile providers injecting ads. Rarer these days but still happens.

IAmGraydon2• 1 year ago

There's a login, but also if you aren't https, you're going to be seriously de-ranked by search engines like Google.

jtafurth• 1 year ago

I worked for an authority that issued digital certificates for SSL and digital signatures. It's not only about providing encryption but also about trust, when a top level entity issues a SSL certificate, a number of identity validations are carried out, adding an extra layer or confidence on that website.

This may seem inconsequential for static websites without PII, however most browsers consider it important as it reduces the risk for all parties involved when encrypted communication is used and the content providers has taken basic steps for Identity verification.

There are logic flaws with this approach to security imo, but it's the most commonly used technique at the moment.

lemax• 1 year ago

ISPs / other middlemen can monitor and modify unencrypted traffic. In Egypt, Syria and Turkey for example ISP’s injected malware into unencrypted sites that led people to install spyware when attempting to download legitimate programs (link). Other state actors have changed the content of news media, etc. Without HTTPS you lose the ability to trust the integrity of a given webpage.

https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/turkis...

webprofusion• 1 year ago

Chrome labelled sites as Not Secure if they didn't user https since 2018. Most people didn't like that label showing on their website address, so it was a clever way to shift everyone.

Years before that the free certificate authority Let's Encrypt was established (there are now several more), so for most people using https with your website is just configuration, not an extra cost. On top of that some http protocol versions are now https only.

MisterTea• 1 year ago

Would you trust handing a sack full of money to a stranger and tell them to bring it to the bank for you or do you hire an armored car service?

We need https because the modern web browser isn't a trustworthy or secure program. A web browser isn't a sandbox so code can be injected into an insecure http stream to force the browser to compromise the machine it is running on. This is just the state of the internet - there are literal highwaymen in the form of malicious routers and other networking hardware on the internet. https is unfortunately the ony way to ensure the highway for your data is secure and the data arriving to you is trustworthy.

The only way to avoid this is to use a browser like netsurf that eliminates the insecure modernity or dont use the web.

pbreit• 1 year ago

That ship has sailed. http has been retired.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Woah, nice work dude.

I had to regenerate ssl certificate, ovh says it's done but it will probably take some time to take effect.

dr_kiszonka2• 1 year ago

Hi! I was very confused about Glycol until I discovered that the desktop version of your site shows way more information than the mobile one. At least in Chrome for Android, you can only select demos to play and click the GitHub link. And GitHub recommends visiting glicol.org, so why do so many people rave about Glycol? Now I know :)

I was wondering if you would be adding any IDE-like features. I like a few features in Sonic-Pi and noticed a few attempts to make a VS Code plugin for it. (I wish I could contribute myself, but my music production skills are atrocious and I mostly rely on GUI-based software to carry me.)

Congrats on an awesome project! (And you, OP, too!)

chaosprint3• 1 year ago

there is also a cli:

xingwu• 1 year ago

What a rabbit hole and a great use of my precious hour after I put my kid to sleep, thanks for sharing!!

desertmonad• 1 year ago

Great work and nice site. Add generic midi so patterns can be mapped to any voice!

wesz49• 1 year ago

I'm working on adding other drum machines (currently Yamaha RX-5 and Oberhiem DMX), not sure if i'm gonna end up adding generic midi. However, you can download current patterns as midi.

metalman2• 1 year ago

Heres a stand alone android drum machine with some good sounds, dont know if its the patterns are portable. Drum On, tiny apk.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/se.tube42.drum.android/

mamonoleechi• 1 year ago

thanks to share this ; i had no idea of the existence of this gem! the interface is a bit rough, but it does the job

tttym• 1 year ago

Nice enjoyed playing with it. How long did it take you to write it? I have been involved in a couple of simmilar projects and I was surprised how much It took us, (we used TypeScript) on Next.js

wesz49• 1 year ago

Everything took probably around 3-4 weeks, but it was spread around a couple of months. I wrote custom web crawler for web archived 808.pixll.de, pattern extraction tool from crawled data. Then i worked on the pattern player and finally started working on the website. Originally i planned to write website from the scratch, but in the end i decided to use WordPress. I have too much side projects already:)

dmje• 1 year ago

I really, really liked that you use WordPress - in my opinion it's a hugely overlooked platform for making really solid products / software. I've built a bunch of dashboards, SaaS tools and other things - once you understand the templating it's so easy to knock out stuff. Nice work!

rossjudson• 1 year ago

Great work; focus down on the patterns, no distractions. Nice!

blackdorn• 1 year ago

I really like it!

bbx• 1 year ago

Very nice. I'd suggest adding a metronome option, so that we know where the 1 is.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Thanks, added to the TODO list.

pacifika3• 1 year ago

Nice work left a few patterns under the cloudseer moniker

sfilmeyer• 1 year ago

Nice, I really enjoyed listening to a couple of the ones you added. They were at the top of the page when I loaded it, and I listened to and enjoyed them before connecting them with your comment.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Yoo, great patterns. I'm working right now on procedural pattern generation to help with brainstorming ideas.

pacifika3• 1 year ago

Thanks for making this, it’s super approachable which helps the fun.

throwaway2562• 1 year ago

Very cool, and great selection of tracks.

It would help a lot if a track had breaks and fills as well as the main rhythm.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Originally on 808.pixll.de most of the tracks had fills and all that, but they are lost unfortunately. This is the only parts i was able to restore.

FranchuFranchu• 1 year ago

Hi! Great work! Could you add support for other amounts of measures such as 3/4?

wesz49• 1 year ago

Sure thing! Adding to todo list.

IAmGraydon2• 1 year ago

Love this. Bookmarked - going to import some of the patterns into Ableton later.

wesz49• 1 year ago

You can download each pattern as a .mid file and it should map correctly to percussion channel.

kazinator2• 1 year ago

Is everything based on a division of the measure into 16 equally spaced beats?

There is so much more to rhythm.

Like, for starters, oh, triplet eighths?

They come up often, and with them, you can have a heavy form of swing (triple 8 swing).

Oh, never mind, I see this is geared toward a piece of drum machine hardware from 1980.

wesz49• 1 year ago

There will be more drum machines available as the time goes, same goes for different time signatures etc. I just wanted to share the progress on the side project i was seating on for a couple of months.

latexr3• 1 year ago

Your comment as written comes off as elitist snark, which is likely why you are getting downvoted. You could’ve instead phrased it as a list of suggestions, tips, or feature requests. OP is sharing for free something cool they made for themselves on their free time. We need more independent fun stuff like this, don’t discourage a better world.

kazinator2• 1 year ago

Good guess, but the comment hit +3 at one point.

The project cannot take tips in this area because it's geared towards programming vintage hardware. It first has to add hardware models which have more advanced sequencing. See sibling comment.

rajangdavis• 1 year ago

This is great, thanks for sharing.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Thank you for contributing patterns:)

jader201• 1 year ago

Nice site!

One bit of feedback I don’t see mentioned. This may be an iPhone thing, but my experience is that the visuals are about a quarter beat ahead of the audio (at 60 BPM, so about 200-250ms off).

Not a big deal, but definitely enough to make it feel a bit off.

Again, could be just the nature of audio in Safari on iPhone.

ozornin• 1 year ago

Yes, I experience the same on desktop Safari.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Maybe this helps? http://drumpatterns.onether.com/?audio=3

wesz49• 1 year ago

I think i can see it now too. I see a couple of things that can cause this, here are 3 solutions, could you check them out and see if it's any better? My best bet is on the third link.

http://drumpatterns.onether.com/?audio=1 http://drumpatterns.onether.com/?audio=2 http://drumpatterns.onether.com/?audio=3 <- check this one out first

padenot• 1 year ago

Hi, https://blog.paul.cx/post/audio-video-synchronization-with-t... (I'm the author) will have some info about what is happenning and what to do.

You're out of luck on Safari because it seems that the important APIs aren't implemented yet: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AudioContex... (scroll down). This means this cannot be made correct, e.g. there will always be a desynchronization when using high latency audio output devices such as anything wireless. Their handhelds (on which non Safari is not allowed) and their MacBooks, in wired/built-in speaker mode have excellent latency figures and we can get away with not doing anything explicit there, granted the audio is not happening somehow before the visuals, that is jarring for a human. A bit late is a lot more natural if it can't be exact.

lmk if you need further details on tight synchronization of real time audio and visuals, padenot@mozilla.com, happy to help, and congratulations on the delightful websites!

sarreph• 1 year ago

This kinda reminds me of Funklet[0] that Jack Stratton (Vulfpeck) + Rob Stenson made a long time ago... A true gem if you're into funk + like midi drums.

[0] https://goodhertz.com/funklet/

wesz49• 1 year ago

Woah, thank you for this! It's pure gold:)

metalman2• 1 year ago

thats all right messing with the back beat, and drum sounds, and whatever the reverse signal thing is vera extra funky

wigster• 1 year ago

very cool.

i would suggest maybe the instruments vertical order should be reversed. i think it is more usual to have the bass drum at the bottom, thru snare up to hh etc.

i think this maps more like a piano roll with typical midi key/drum assignments.

wesz49• 1 year ago

I based it off the order on the original site - https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fb...

I'll definitely add the option to reverse the order in user settings. If more people mention it i'll make it the default.

s1mon• 1 year ago

I came here to say the same thing. General MIDI defines the sequence of the drum sounds. Unless there's a really good reason to deviate from that, it is a standard.

wesz49• 1 year ago

So, if any of you guys have any specific ideas on how i should approach that please contact me via luhasz.wesz at google mail.

tacker2000• 1 year ago

Nice! Gonna try some of these on my TR8S

sen• 1 year ago

This is awesome. I'm no drummer but have always loved percussion in general, so just had a lot of fun playing around.

My only tip would probably be a way to click (right-click since left-click is used?) the abbreviation for each instrument to hear it play once, or when you place a beat have it play that instrument once. The guide for which abbreviation is which instrument is above the fold when actually placing notes, so it's lots of scroll back/forth checking what's what again.

wesz49• 1 year ago

I added titles for instruments, so now when you hover with your mouse over the two letter label it should show you the full instrument name.

I think adding playing samples on left click should be fine, added to todo list.

Also, it should be easier to make pattern on play mode, so you have atleast some feedback.

stosssik• 1 year ago

This is fantastic — simple, fun, and with just the right vibe for exploring ideas quickly. I love how focused it is: no clutter, just straight into the groove.

Do you see this staying as a passion project, or are you considering a business model at some point ?

wesz49• 1 year ago

Thank you!

I'll be working on some procedural stuff for patterns and variations to make exploring ideas even better. It's definitely passion project.

michaelmior3• 1 year ago

Very cool! Reminds me a bit of this visualizer I built a few years ago.

https://michaelmior.github.io/rhythm-wheel/

adentranter• 1 year ago

This is actually really cool way to show it.

Love it.

michaelmior3• 1 year ago

Credit for the idea goes to Godfried Toussaint.

https://www.amazon.com/Geometry-Musical-Rhythm-Makes-Second/...

wesz49• 1 year ago

It's super fun to mess around. I think i found a bug - https://imgur.com/BRwst17 - in this setup kick triggers on red instead of green? Or am i tripping?

michaelmior3• 1 year ago

That doesn't seem to happen for me. If you lower the BPM (the value on the right is a non-obvious text input) does it still seem to trigger incorrectly?

andrewrn• 1 year ago

This is very cool and fun

albinekb• 1 year ago

Awesome! Some filters in the list views would be nice, and a way to change the playback BPM, samples etc. Keep goin!

dbalatero2• 1 year ago

This is cool–can you make it so the closed hat chokes the hi hat closed? I really like that feature in drum machines!

wesz49• 1 year ago

Do you mean closed hi hat chokes open hi hat?

dbalatero2• 1 year ago

Yes exactly!

captradeoff• 1 year ago

this is really creative! would be fun to train on

Ohhh yeah baby, this hits!

wesz49• 1 year ago

That's dope!

askvictor• 1 year ago

I've tried unsuccessfully to get Rebirth running (on either Windows or Wine). Any modern re-implementations?

omneity2• 1 year ago

This is amazing! Please consider adding PWA support so it can be installed as a mobile app.

It’s super easy, just a manifest.json file to add which you can generate here [0].

Also are you considering adding more drumkits? Or maybe allow a user to set their own samples (stored locally, just for themselves) like you can change the header color in HN.

0: http://pwabuilder.com/

wesz49• 1 year ago

No problem, just added PWA to my todo list.

Regarding the different drum kits, this is actually on the top of todo list, right know i'm working on Yamaha RX5 and Oberhiem DMX. They should be available in a day or two. Any drum machines you recommend?

omneity2• 1 year ago

Thanks! I’m a fan of 8-bit synthesizers but also classics like the Roland TR series (707, 808, 909, 08, 09)

codedokode• 1 year ago

I hate such sites. You open it to play for a minute and hours get lost.

Also, when creating a new variation, a blank pattern is created. It would be cool if I could copy one of previous patterns and modify it instead of recreating it from scratch.

Also, drums seem to not be balanced perfectly - in some patterns, when several sounds are playing simultaneously I cannot hear all of them. Are some drums too loud or is it a problem with me maybe?

wesz49• 1 year ago

That makes sense, will fix that. Regarding the balance of the sound i've also experienced that, not sure if it's sample pack i've used or something else, will investigate that.

boguscoder• 1 year ago

Not the same but reminds me of noisecraft vibes - https://noisecraft.app/532

wesz49• 1 year ago

I've seen it before, pretty cool. If i remember correctly most of the implementation is done in software instead of using WebAudio nodes.

greenwhite2• 1 year ago

Love this idea and the execution. Would it make sense to make this for synth patches or some other musical idea? I'm wondering if that's something you plan on exploring in the future?

wesz49• 1 year ago

There will be more drum machines, that's for sure. Do you mean custom/user provided synth patches?

greenwhite2• 1 year ago

Yea user provided synth patches for a vintage synth like a Moog or something. Not sure how feasible it is but could also be cool as a web app

todotask• 1 year ago

Change your favicon, at least make that a dot.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Added favicon.

flakes3• 1 year ago

Please allow triplets! You're missing out big without a basic shuffle! I also second the other comments about ordering. Cymbals on top, snare and toms in middle, bass and other pedals on the bottom. e.g.

   hh |x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|
   S  |----o-------o---|
   B  |o-------o-o-----|

nxpnsv• 1 year ago

I guess you could make a 3x16 pattern but interpret it as a 4x12, so each beat is three steps...

badmintonbaseba2• 1 year ago

They don't roll over to the next 16 on playback automatically, which makes this very awkward.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Is order CH, OH, CY, CB, MA, CL, HC, MC, LC, SD, BD, AC fine or need any other adjustments?

There will be support for triples, soooon.

unnamed76ri• 1 year ago

I’ve never seen a drum pattern setup where the kick and snare are at the top.

Usually from bottom to top it is something like: Kick, Snare, hihat, toms, various cymbals

flakes3• 1 year ago

Some other ideas:

- 2 bar patterns would also be great. Many patterns repeat over 8 quarters.

- Allowing accents (dynamics). A lot of drum patterns involve just a few drums, where accents are what bring the pattern to life.

With accents and triplets, you can have the Purdie shuffle [1], which is one of my favorite patterns ever :)

:[1] https://tomtommag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Purdie-Shuf...

tobyhinloopen• 1 year ago

frantzmiccoli• 1 year ago

Doesn't work on FF on iPhone. Very nice otherwise!

wesz49• 1 year ago

Mobile support will be ready in a couple of days.

mattjhall• 1 year ago

Really nice work!

squarefoot• 1 year ago

I loved xoxo pattern based drum machines as a teen in the early 80s. Was never able to afford a 808 back in the day, but bought a DR110 back then. However I've always been mostly a hard / prog rock guy, so I see 16 beats pattern based drum machines as extremely limiting: no flams, no triplets, no effective rolls, no ghost notes, etc. The day I could buy a R8 was liberating, but in the end nothing beats real drumming on a real drum set.

johnisgood• 1 year ago

There are categories (genres), and I thought if I click on one, it will insert that particular "dot" as such (same colors somehow, or some form of indication or visual feedback of the genre placed).

Pretty cool nevertheless.

aamorel25• 1 year ago

hi, would it be possible to parametrize the length of the loop ?

wesz49• 1 year ago

Probably yes, check out in a couple of days.

taikahessu• 1 year ago

iPhone + Firefox, can't hear anything, moving along, sorry ...

wesz49• 1 year ago

Sorry to hear that, i didn't spend time to make it compatible with mobile devices yet.

badmintonbaseba2• 1 year ago

bug: when playing back an Nx16 pattern, and switching, then when rolling to the next pattern the very first beat is played from the previously played pattern instead of the current one.

wesz49• 1 year ago

Added to todo, i'll be rolling out fixes and improvements in a 8-10 hours.

wesz49• 1 year ago

I fixed it, it should work now.

_spduchamp• 1 year ago

Anyone here doing rhythm work without sequencers?

I've been noodling with a side project for a couple years trying to figure out how to replicate folk drumming patterns by adding LFOs together and doing beats at the zero crossing. My aim is to create drumming patterns that can flow and evolve. Results are so-so. I cant seem to find much info on other doing this sort of thing.

https://youtu.be/yVlgPoTpL94

rrherr• 1 year ago

Check out "African Polyphony and Polyrhythm", a presentation by Chris Ford at Strange Loop 2016. He uses Clojure to model traditional central African drumming patterns with variations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK4qctJOMaU

https://github.com/ctford/african-polyphony-and-polyrhythm

scarecrowbob• 1 year ago

I'd think that the problem with LFOs is that they don't make it easy to think about rhythm- they are tied to specific times. So it's a hard tool for that kind of work.

I've been enjoying tools like "euclidian rhythms" where you have a variety of sounds that all have a fundamental division of beat that they share but have differing numbers of beats-per-bar. I have a squarp pyramid sequencer that implements that quite well.

You might look in that direction if you haven't already.

wesz49• 1 year ago

So, i've reversed the order of the instruments. Let me know what do you think.

Audio and visual should sync better now, also fixed small issue pointed out by @badmintonbaseba. Creating new variation no longer creates empty pattern, it copies the previous one.

taco_emoji• 1 year ago

EDIT: nevermind, it's my stupid work proxy blocking the .WAV filetype :(

On both Edge and Chrome on Windows 11 I hear nothing. No "sound" icon in the tab either to indicate that it's muted.

james_marks• 1 year ago

This is beautiful, thank you for creating and sharing.

I like the colors and interface for making a beat especially, great ergonomics.

fryingneurons• 1 year ago

Very cool! Similar to the drum sequencer at drumloopai.com

Anthony-G• 1 year ago

I’m not a music producer or drummer (just a beginner guitarist interested in how other music is made) but I think this is great. I noticed a typo when you mouse-over the CY, cymbal is mis-spelled with an extra ‘l’).

wesz49• 1 year ago

Uu, nice catch, fixed.

ElijahLynn• 1 year ago

This is useful, I think this will help me actually learn drum stuff for my electronic music production that I'm learning now.

motes• 1 year ago

i love this! i wish i could use both MA and CP at the same time though for a particular beat im making here http://drumpatterns.onether.com/beat-2/

i cant wait for more samples to be added and triplets, had fun doing this on my lunch :) im not really a musician but i live with 2 producers so playing with them rubs off on me

an_aparallel2• 1 year ago

Nice site, a few things:

1.youre missing the 808 clap!? 2.nice to have: beat one of each bar to be slighly darker than the others.

3.And obviously in true feature creep style: pls implement some random feature i use in my daw

0823498723498722• 1 year ago

the maracas channel toggles to handclap

(look just under the stylised-R of the Roland logo on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TR-808#/media/File:TR-8... for the pair on the original front panel)

an_aparallel2• 1 year ago

Oh...im a child of the digital era (40 now) but never played an 808...pls ignore !! Had no idea they were set up like that.

wesz49• 1 year ago

You can click on small labels on the left to change some instruments. LC to LT (low conga to low tom), MC to MT (mid conga to mid tom), HC to HT (high conga to high tom), MA to CP (maraca to clap), CL to RS (claves to rimshot).

I agree with the need for bar separation.

The last one, yeah:))

wesz49• 1 year ago

New stuff!

- Fixed another thing with desync between audio and visual

- Hi-Hat choking - when open and closed hat are placed on the same beat, the open hat is ignored and closed one is played on two channels as shorter note

- You can now hold mouse down to paint pattern

- Clicking on instrument label besides changing some instruments should also play a sound

- Fixed cymbal spelling

- Added clear and delete pattern buttons in "Create" mode

- Ability to paste text (CTRL+V) representation in "Create" mode, it doesn't have to be the full list of instruments, but the pasted pattern should have 16 beats, here is the example:

CH X-X-X-XXX-XXX-XX

SD ---X-XX-----XXX-

BD XX------XX------

AC X-XX--X-X-X-X-X-

grepfru_it• 1 year ago

Please please work with hydrogen to provide premade drum patterns. It’s a great sequencer but no one has any premade patterns for it

If anybody still looks here i just added song links in the comments. Write in your comment @[comma separated list of patterns] to create song trigger, e.g @[1,1,1,2,3,4,3,4]

timoxley• 1 year ago

Great stuff. Feature requests: non-wp login, accents, Bar lines, support for non-4/4, swung meter, search by pattern (e.g. write a kick snare pattern, find beats with same kick snare pattern to e.g. find inspiration for hat patterns)

wesz49• 1 year ago
