I don't know anything about acid techno. Can someone comment on how accurate this is to the genre? I can't seem to get it to do much but make random beeps and boops, but maybe that's just the style of music?

This is pretty much how it sounds - the particular synthesizer and tweaking its parameters (resonance, filtering, and so on) is the main defining feature, the particular classic drum machine used typically goes along with it - but there’s a lot more variation you can do besides just slowly modulating it like this program does, as well as crossovers to other genres (using that squeaky synth sound in other genres of el…

Thanks for the examples. I can see why this website is so impressive now, it sounds pretty spot on to the samples! That's absolutely mind blowing to me.

Very cool, but the UI could do with a pause button.

You clearly do not understand the nature of acid techno.

Kidding aside: i agree. Also live manipulation of the patterns by clicking to add/subtract notes/drums would be cool.
