Here's my best guess: a: click with a slight rattle, like rattan brushes b: closed hihat c: distored synth bass with rattle, like tambourine d: distored synth bass higher pitch and muted e: muted synth bass f: sizzle ride hit like crash g: maracas h: muted maracas i: afuche-cabasa j: synth snare k: deeper snare l: castanets m/n: tap on closed hihat - maybe striking the hardware? o: booming tonal bass p: half muted to…

I think m/n is hitting the top of the hi-hat instead of the sides

I think you're right, with n maybe using the shaft of the stick on the bell of the closed hat.

This is really cool. Within about 30 seconds of playing around, I wished it had more scripting-like features (loops and blocks I can reference multiple times)

Oh my $deity! I sometimes play a bit with recording music and I always hate drum machine programming. If I could actually program it in some sort of programming language it would be so much nicer! Seems like I've just got a new side project :)

Like a tracker?

Thanks! Although I had something much simplier in mind, Overtone will definitely come handy as well :)

OMG! Of course I entered "type something" (no quotes) and five minutes later dragged myself out of the trance it put me in. :-)

This could actually be very useful for meditation.

Heh. For the helluvit I entered the Transcendental Meditation mantra given me 45 years ago and got something much, much more compelling than the mantra itself. I might just revisit that old fad.
