    Hi there, my name is Jay. Making music and writing software have probably been the two biggest pleasures of my life -only after my family. My team and I recently started a long journey of trying to completely change the way people create music, and as it usually happens with any long journey, it all starts with small steps. One of those small steps was to build https://drummy.io, or "Dummy Drums," a very simple yet useful drum machine that stores the entire drum pattern in the hashtag of the URL. There is no backend. Fully served by a CDN. If you wanna learn how to build your own…

    Originally started as a project to restore patterns from now defunct website 808.pixll.de just for myself, but eventually i decided to share it with others. I've seen this website mentioned a couple of times on HN:) Currently it only supports Roland TR-808, but there will be more.

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    After two years of development, I'm super excited to release Beat Maker! This is my take on what I hope is the best free, web-based drum machine. My goal was to build something that was not only fun and easy to use for beginners but also powerful enough for serious producers. I did extensive research on existing drum machines, analyzed their UX, and tried to build something that adds something new. It's a nearly 100% client-side app, written in ClojureScript, and is a PWA so you can install it to your home screen for an app-like experience. Besides the standard grid editor, Beat Maker has…

    Hello all! I've been an avid fan of Pocket Operators by Teenage Engineering since I found out about them. I even own an EP-133 K.O. II today, which I love. A couple of months ago, Reddit user andiam03 shared a Google Sheet with some drum patterns [1]. I thought it was a very cool way to share and understand beats. During the weekend I coded a basic version of this app I am sharing today. I iterated over it in my free time, and yesterday I felt like I had a pretty good version to share with y'all. It's not meant to be a sequencer but rather a way to experiment with beats and basic sounds,…

    I used to transcribe drum parts in my text editor (vim) using plain-text drum tabs. It worked, but it was far from ideal — every edit risked breaking the text grid. Also how could I be sure the rhythm was accurate? Or share it with others who prefer traditional sheet music? So I built drumtabs.app — an online text-based drum tab editor that works like a step sequencer, with audio playback, sheet music rendering, and more.
