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

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

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

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

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

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:)

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

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.

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.

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.
