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.

Or as the developer you can play some silent audio in the background via an ` ` 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.

I hit this on https://ambiph.one - my solution ended up being similar (use an 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

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

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…

there is also a cli:

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.

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-----|

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Just reversed it. Check it out.

you didn't answer the _why do we need all that for a drum beat making website_?

You don't. But you will be penalized by Big Co for not supporting https. (It's effectively a "doing business on the Internet" tax. Thankfully not that expensive for small hobby projects now.)

It's literally $0 with LetsEncrypt.
