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.

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); }

Can't open the link, no https

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.

Firefox (@Android) blocked it.

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?

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

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.

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.

Nice work left a few patterns under the cloudseer moniker

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

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