4 years infront of drummachines, and ableton and I stumble across this … http://typedrummer.com/

holy shit guys … I just randomly type in stuff and press random keys on my A4 and it makes my MD and AR sit quietly in the corner, in shame , in disbelieve

Sorry i don’t get it.
What you do next?

I made this when someone posted the site on Reddit- http://typedrummer.com/9ng7zq

Really good fun! A tempo setting would be nice.

hey tillamatic … sweeeet rythm you created there … i really cant believe, how somebody could program that, and it would sound so fucking well… you basically need zero skill for that…

that really puzzles me… years of ableton trial and error… 2 years with MD (plus the rest of the family … ) I this app sounds W A Y better than me on the drum machines …

i am shaking my head! … even emailed the programmer, he replied, cool dude …

somebody please fill me in, why i am so bad, but this app is so wicked. … I want the “formula”

I mean, there’s no real secret here. It’s just samples played in a sequence. Sounds like 8th notes (8 notes to a bar), whereas the Elektron gear usually deals in 16th notes. I think what helps is the selection of samples they chose to use.

that’s nnice :slight_smile:
how do you actually choose different samples for the drum kit? (if that’s something doable)

edit: …tempo setting indeed

Thanks :slight_smile:

Click the text on the typedrummer page where it says “load new samples”

having lots of fun with it right now. opened three instances of the browser and there you go: uncontrolled poly-rhythms :astonished: :smiley:

thanks zillamatic, didn’t see the link on the page :slight_smile:

Interesting thing happens here when I have that open in one tab in safari, and then go back to another tab. It starts playing with 1/8th note swing! No kidding.

yes it does skip things around a bit. i think it’s mainly/probably due to how the browser deals with the different tabs.
try and have the tab on its own, it should fix things up :slight_smile:

I like it.
I was tabbing back and forth making my own jazzy remix. :slight_smile:

Haha wow! That’s a cool bug. Goes to show how limitations really breed creativity!

Lots of fun! Thanks for this :slight_smile:
