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

I worked for an authority that issued digital certificates for SSL and digital signatures. It's not only about providing encryption but also about trust, when a top level entity issues a SSL certificate, a number of identity validations are carried out, adding an extra layer or confidence on that website. This may seem inconsequential for static websites without PII, however most browsers consider it important as it…

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

Unauthenticated http is a vector for opportunistic malware. They don’t target specific websites, just inject evil.js wherever.

ISPs / other middlemen can monitor and modify unencrypted traffic. In Egypt, Syria and Turkey for example ISP’s injected malware into unencrypted sites that led people to install spyware when attempting to download legitimate programs (link). Other state actors have changed the content of news media, etc. Without HTTPS you lose the ability to trust the integrity of a given webpage.

very cool. i would suggest maybe the instruments vertical order should be reversed. i think it is more usual to have the bass drum at the bottom, thru snare up to hh etc. i think this maps more like a piano roll with typical midi key/drum assignments.

I came here to say the same thing. General MIDI defines the sequence of the drum sounds. Unless there's a really good reason to deviate from that, it is a standard.

So, if any of you guys have any specific ideas on how i should approach that please contact me via luhasz.wesz at google mail.
