  I really enjoyed playing around with this, thanks for sharing. You can tell a lot of care and effort went into the experience. I’m curious: did you use any AI tools while building it or was that all done manually?

  Love the UI. I think these browser-based products are great at removing the "mystery" around music making or DJing by making it accessible. All you need to do is type a URL and click a few elements to get started and you get instant feedback. I built a similar browser app but for DJing (I was also inspired by Pocket Operators): https://dj.t-tunes.com/

  I have messed around with making a number of different web drum machines but I really like the square step sequencer for something fresh instead of the standard row.I notice right away how I am focused on the specific sound I am looking at compared to the step row that feels more focused on the pattern overall.You could also make it so it plays samples for the drums instead of synthesizing them directly but I do like the default sounds too.

  I absolutely love this as an amateur beat maker.I want a way to add a chiptune piano with different notes, but this is already awesome!

  Very nice. Would be great to see a "tap bpm" instead of setting numerically, also a way to run offline, and lastly a way to submit drum covers of popular tracks that used say the Linn 9000 and TR-808 drum machines - with those sounds available!To really make it interesting, have a way to switcheroo the drum tracks of some cloud music to layer in one's own version instead.

  The scan line effect is very nice. Not over done like many others are.

  The share button doesn't show up on Firefox for some reason?Fun stuff! It would be nice to be able to make longer patterns. Maybe by having triggers that play randomly or every nth loop, like a lot of drum machines do.https://beats.lasagna.pizza/?name=hakkernuse&bpm=141&i0=K100...

  Very neat! I had a https://www.crowdsupply.com/wee-noise-makers/wee-noise-maker... but I don't always carry it with me. I do have my phone though most of the time in my pocket so having this on, Web based, is great! The author of ToneJS is very kind, if the documentation wasn't clear you might want to reach out to help clarify it.PS: didn't check it but being a PWA to work offline would be quite neat, just in case the subway or train goes through a spot without connectivity.

  Lots of crackling and popping in firefox on macos, pretty cool otherwise
• millzlane
  A randomize button would be cool.
• bracketfocus
  Nice. I made something similar ~6 years ago, yours is a lot better though.https://erikburt.github.io/TSequencer/
• chaosprint
  cool. for those who are interested, you can actually use code to control the seq like this example in Glicol:https://glicol.org/demo#minitechno
• igleria
  This is great! I can report a bit of odd sounds here and there on firefox ubuntu, but chromium ubuntu works perfect.
• myky22
  Love it. The pixel UX reminds my of Roguelite games hehe.So easy to use. Would love to see some bass lunes in the future.I normally use my OP-XY when improvising.
• ajxs
  I like the interface! It's even better than this other interactive drum machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yRx-dd7Jcs
• ferg-in-japan
  Wow this is cool! Inspiration to try making something like this myself. The 8-bit aesthetic looks great too. It would be cool if users could edit the tones - maybe a way to expand in the future.

  Not great waveforms, to my ear. Decent UI for a first cut -- trying it out, I found it really addictive. Makes me want to learn more about beats.

  Nice UI but your examples don’t feel right to me. Bossa nova sounds nothing like bossa nova.
• zerr
  Nice! What's the UI toolkit?
• hmcamp
  I like it. I think I’ll eventually take a whack at making something similar. Thanks for sharing
• brikym
  Nice. I love how you're not using a framework just pure javascript.
• cyrusradfar
  This made my day. Love this, thank you!
• Igor_Wiwi
  pls add examples from the Google Sheets for easy bootstrapping
• MintyPyro
  Very well made!
• metalman
  heres an offline drum machine, "drum on"like the online one here as well, but does have static glitches.https://f-droid.org/en/packages/se.tube42.drum.android/
