Nice design and fun to play with
From 2 comments
Cool! Nice design! The kick drum is way too hard to tune, I can only tune to 60, 147 and 234. Either make the steps smaller or let me type in my own values maybe?
Mizza on HNGreat piece of work! Play with this even if you think you don't know how to work a drum synth.

The env control has no audible effect
From 2 comments
Very nice! The "env" control didn't have any audible effect for me. What's it supposed to do?

Fix knob drag direction
From 2 comments
You're right, this is the standard way to manipulate knobs. I'll be fixing this. Thanks!
ohadron on HNYou're right! Been using audio software for the last 20 years yet somehow I missed this. Will be fixed. Thanks!

Store beats and import drum patterns
From 1 comment
Very cool! Would it be possible to store beats and use some kind of autocomplete in a list below to compare popular user patterns? Or why not try to import famous drum patterns…
