Drumbit – Online Drum Machine
- thomasfl 6y agoNice. Looking forward to the generate-a-hit-song(tm) site. The closest thing is probably https://www.beatstars.com/ https://www.beatstars.com/. This is the site Lil Nas X bought what would end up as Old town road.
- FpUser 6y agoNice one. Was fun playing with it.
- pachico 6y agoEvery time I see something like this I immediately remember all the fun I had so many years ago with Soundtracker for Amiga. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Soundtracker https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Soundtracker Sweet old memories...
- MaanuAir 6y agoEnjoy :-) https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/ https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/
- pachico 6y agoYou almost make my eyes water... :)
- pjmlp 6y agoOh man, really?!? Many thanks, this is great.
- lukasdanin 6y agoThanks!
- nxpnsv 6y agoEpic! This thing also opens songs from modarchive, so there are thousands of tracks to listen too...
- app4soft 6y agoYep, this Web-app is cool! But, sadly, it overload CPU & RAM. I'm preferring use offline tracker like Milky Tracker instead.[0,1] [0] https://milkytracker.org/ https://milkytracker.org/ [1] https://milkytracker.org/downloads/ https://milkytracker.org/downloads/
- dylan604 6y agothe very first piece of computer gear i ever bought was a midi adapter. there was an Amiga on one side of the room, and a MIDI capable synth on the other side. i was introduced to Soundtracker, and then went all giddy when I was told the synth could work with it if that missing device was used. i think i was 14, and saved up my lunch money to buy it. Never did make anything worthwhile with it, but it sure was fun.
- werber 6y agoI love this, I was recoding music casually with some friends and didn't have any of my normal supplies on friday and this would have been a godsend. terrific work for when you're in a pinch. Committed that url to memory like a phone number in 1995!
- Zanneth 6y agoThe equalizer visualization is really great. Smooth and responsive, even on mobile.
- slmjkdbtl 6y agoWhat fascinates me about drum machine in general is, every time I fill the whole bar with random stuff, as long as it's relatively full and have both low and high ends, it'll sound good, it'll groove, and I can groove on it for hours. I wonder if anyone else feels the same. Love the idea that human body instinctively loves to groove! (awesome app btw enjoyed)
- powersnail 6y agoRepetition legitimizes. Repetition legitimizes.
- agumonkey 6y agoonce it's a mistake, twice it's a pattern
- triangleman 6y agoHence, the "millennial whoop"
- dylan604 6y agoa beat is a beat, they just aren't always dance-able. some of the examples of AI/ML generated music has always never sounded "good" to me though. it's clever that you can have a computer make music in the realm of $X, and that's cool as a programming accomplishment. at the same time, you can give someone like me all of the $mostRad gear, and what ever i bang out will sound "not good" either. while i can play instruments, i'd never call myself a musician. that's how i consider these ML/AI generated music "types" in my head.
- intricatedetail 6y agoRepetition with a hint of unpredictability is what triggers pleasure.
- slmjkdbtl 6y agoSometimes repetition with predictability also triggers pleasure, like Krautrock and motorik beat
- coverband 6y agoReally good execution, I’m impressed.
- hamburglar 6y agoFun, but I think we killed it. :D Can you describe your hosting setup?
- interestica 6y agoThis is great and simple. This would be so much better if you could create a 'playlist' of the individual patterns. eg, as simple as a text list: 1,2,2,2,2,1,3,4 (and made even more powerful with the 16 track premium version)
- schwinn140 6y agoNicely done!! This is mindlessly fun. I comically created something halfway decent sounding. I might have found my calling. ;)
- totalZero 6y agoThis is dope. Really a pleasure to play around with. A+
- brogrammer2019 6y agoShould combine this with an AI drum machine https://beatz.ai https://beatz.ai
- keyle 6y agoWow the swing is a little on the crazy side, so is the compressor. Very impressive overall.
- bsanr2 6y agoI'd really like to be able to find a sort of virtual Launchpad (e.g., upload my samples, trigger them with a click, quantize/snap to the beat, etc.). Thought this was going to be like that.
- kylegill 6y agoSomething I love about Hacker News is how the fun corners of the internet like this always manage to find their way to the front page and I don't even need to look for them.
- jb_s 6y agoI'm eternally grateful that there's a website that's similar to early Reddit (what I remember about it at least). Although with an older demographic on average - I guess whoever was on early Reddit is older as well now. Of course HN has been around for forever as well.
- quickthrower2 6y agoNice, love the house demo especially.
- ngcc_hk 6y agoTai Ko needed.
- gfiorav 6y agoHehe, back in college 10 years ago I tried to do the same with vanilla JS. Might not even load http://www.onlinesampler.com http://www.onlinesampler.com
- hamburglar 6y agoStill works, and I love that it's "100% flash-free." :D Those were the days.
- daviddaviddavid 6y agoWhen it comes to "Swing", one thing that would be really nice is if you could have each quarter note broken into 1/8 note triplet cells. For example, for me the most intuitive way to represent a standard jazz ride cymbal pattern is like so: [x--][x-x][x--][x-x] Each square bracket is a quarter note subdivided into 1/8 note triplets where the x is struck and the - is not struck. You can represent swing without triplets but it is way less natural and intuitive to me.
- nxpnsv 6y agoMost drum machines just have the swing % setting. You can kind of emulate what you want by have 12 or 24 beats long patterns (not sure that's the case with drumbit)...
