Show HN: Randomly generated metal riffs using Web Audio API and React

Excellent work ! I saw many random music generators, and this might be the best. I showed it to a coworker playing in a metal band, he's stunned ! It sounds really good.

Really interesting project. Can you give a brief description of the algorithm?

Also, would it be possible to export MIDI, or some other format where you could drop in your own samples?

Amazing job :) I'd love to see it with deephouse or techno sounds. It's so tempting to fork the repo.

Hehe!! I love this. Did you record the samples or did you get them from somewhere? The overall all audio and production quality is actually top-notch, with the exception of clipping the samples on rapid cuts. Great work!
