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.

#112This 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/
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?
Thanks! I’m a fan of 8-bit synthesizers but also classics like the Roland TR series (707, 808, 909, 08, 09)

#113There 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.

#114hi, would it be possible to parametrize the length of the loop ?

Unauthenticated http is a vector for opportunistic malware. They don’t target specific websites, just inject evil.js wherever.
You ISP sniffing and MiTMing traffic on the wire is the least likely vector of malware injection. ISP's are usually serious businesses with reputations and don't hack their own customers.
That “usually” is doing a ton of work. I remember Vodafone injecting scripts into webpages many years ago. While trying to find a source, I bumped into other shenanigans.

Re: Show HN: I built a website for sharing drum patterns
#116Is 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.
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.

#117Please 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-----|
I guess you could make a 3x16 pattern but interpret it as a 4x12, so each beat is three steps...
They don't roll over to the next 16 on playback automatically, which makes this very awkward.

The downsides of being secure are a 5 minute setup, once. The thought process of "should this be secure?" is 10 minutes even if the answer is obvious. So why bother? Just be secure and move on.
Https does nothing for security. Its purpose is to authenticate financial transaction packets, not to be "secure". (Whatever that means.)
You need 9 more minutes of thought process.
Re: Show HN: I built a website for sharing drum patterns
#120bug: 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.
