This is great! I can report a bit of odd sounds here and there on firefox ubuntu, but chromium ubuntu works perfect.

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 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.

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.

Fascinating, first time I've seen an open source project written with ADA.

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.

Nice. I made something similar ~6 years ago, yours is a lot better though.

Lots of crackling and popping in firefox on macos, pretty cool otherwise

Same, with Firefox on Linux (via Flatpak). The UI's great, though.

No crackling here (Firefox/M4 Air).

I'm getting a little popping on Firefox Windows, which disappears if I remove the kick step on second row of the default bosa nova. Nice work anyway, the UI is immediate and instant play.

I like the interface! It's even better than this other interactive drum machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yRx-dd7Jcs

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.

pls add examples from the Google Sheets for easy bootstrapping

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.
kinduff 11 hours ago
I agree, let me see if I can tweak it so it sounds a bit more like it.

I like it. I think I’ll eventually take a whack at making something similar. Thanks for sharing

Nice. I love how you're not using a framework just pure javascript.
