Fun. Always love playing with toys like this. A little d'n'b loop: https://peel.fm/c275e61 The banana tapping in rhythm is a great little touch. Fruity!
168 bpm :)

#42Fun tool, love how the banana peel logo stars to foot tap soon as the track's playing

#43Here is my loop :-) https://peel.fm/e431e31
Added more cowbells as a joke, but it actually worked well

#44As someone who was into making electronic music back before Fruity Loops and Hammerhead—-a time when one coveted actual hardware, but was always searching and dreaming about software drum machines because they were cheaper or free, I always find it amazing that we can do this in the browser. I always love seeing cool projects like this come about.
Same. My first drum machine was a broken Roland TR-909 that I bought from a pawn shop around '88. I borrowed a bunch of my mother's old records, and was on my way to hip-hop-producer stardom! LOL

#45This is really fun! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to sample my loop into my sp404 and add some effects

#47here is a quick sketch: https://peel.fm/b02789c variation https://peel.fm/e854bbc
Super clean and fun, thanks for sharing!
One request would be to raise the max tempo so half time could be programmed allowing 32 steps per bar.
oh, and maybe a "song" playlist which allowed you to paste multiple links in a list?

Oh yeah, adding to my to-do list!
If you're willing to go a bit further, i recommend adding a "groove" cursor, that slightly shift each box within the beat, at random (then you can have more complex algorithm to make the randomisation move the beat toward a ternary rythm instead of completely at random). It's called "humanize" in some audio software and can be fun (if you feel like putting one cursor per track, that's even better).
Or follow the swing recipe from "Roger Linn on Swing, Groove and the Magic of the MPC's Timing (2013)":

#49Fantastic, had a lot of fun poking around this little machine. I really love it, here are some minor improvement points: - when right-clicking, the intended functionality of selecting the appropriate rhythm works only half the time or so. The other half is the browser modal showing normal right-click action. Consider doing long-press to change rhythm? - volume per channel feels off. Putting the slider halfway already…
That's awesome to hear, and thanks so much for the detailed feedback. Really appreciate it!
AH! yeah in my chrome it didn't work at all. i was super confused how the example got the little dots and what they meant.
