Getting Started
This is a 3-track, 8-step drum machine designed for creative sequencing. Click on the squares in the grid to add or remove a drum hit for that step.
Main Controls
- Play / Stop: Starts and stops the sequencer.
- Tempo Slider: Adjusts the speed of the beat, from 40 to 240 BPM.
Creative Sequencing
The real fun comes from changing the playback direction for each track independently using the dropdown menus:
- Forward: Plays the 8 steps from left to right. The classic mode.
- Backward: Plays from right to left.
- Ping-Pong: Plays from left to right, then reverses and plays back to the left.
- Random: Jumps to a random step in the sequence each time, creating unpredictable patterns.
Try setting the Kick to Forward, the Snare to Backward, and the Hi-hat to Random to hear a complex, evolving rhythm!
Exporting Your Loop
When you've created a beat you like, click the Export WAV button. This will:
- Render a high-quality, 4-bar (32-step) audio loop of your current pattern.
- Automatically download it to your computer as a `.wav` file with a unique, descriptive name based on your pattern.
