It's funny, but hard to make anything sound good due to inconsistent hit points in the samples. Even with a very simple pattern nothing sounds very rhythmic to my ears.

Yeah honestly it's pretty weak compared to an actual music sequencing DAW like FL Studio or even an app like Patterning 2.

Why is there even "AI" in the url? It's a funny "thing", but there is nothing in there related to AI is there?

The website is super smooth and the experience is great! Wonder what it's built with...

Looks like three.js with WebGL.

Nice! Has anyone figured out a good way to export the sounds and the MIDI?

Sounds are loaded via http, so copy the link and use curl. E.g. https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/drum-machine/view/audi... and https://experiments.withgoogle.com/ai/drum-machine/view/meta.... I don't think there's any MIDI.

Meh. This is an extremely basic drum machine / step sequencer with a larger number samples, and I'm pretty sure I've seen the "sample cloud" approach lots of times by now in various VSTs. Probably still fun for folk with zero exposure to music production!
