Polished, responsive mixer effects and UI design.
From 3 comments
Duuuude the mixer effects (reverb, filter, distortion, etc) are super responsive and wonderfully inspiring to play with — I haven’t even changed the pattern and had minutes of…
ludwigschubert on HNI love this. The layout. The color scheme. The workflow. This is far better an approach than most beatmaker apps, and even many desktop equivalents. Excellent work. Expand the…
zupreme on HNExpected a experimental mini-project but met with a high-quality full-featured app. Nice!

Works well as a PWA and on mobile, including iOS Safari.

As a musician and developer of 20+ years this is great work! It worked perfectly for me in ios safari... one of the most hostile environments for web audio! The slice feature is…
spacec0wb0y on HNThis looks great! Pleasantly surprised by how native it feels. The instrument dots on the grid tiles is a nice UX touch. How do you find the transition into software development…

Wonderful work! For a software engineer new to the space, your attention to detail and clarity of the implementation truly stand out. Are you planning to open source and/or…

Requests
Keyboard support for playing drums.
From 2 comments
That's really awesome! The fact that it has 9 instruments to select from in that layout really begs for some keyboard numpad support IMO :)
jjordan on HNNice work! I find it funny that I'm in the middle of writing a song player in assembler on the old Commodore 64 :) Anyway, what I missed in your app was a method to use the…

Swing or shuffle mode.

Very cool. How about a shuffle/swing mode?

Variable grid length.
From 1 comment
Really fun! I couldn't figure out if there's a way to set a start and stop on the grid (so you could develop a beat in just 8 steps for example). Also can you set velocity/pitch…

Save patterns as a long link.

I think it’s well designed, and I really like the analog drum samples (though I think the clap sounds better at G2 instead of C2). I would had made it 4 rows of 16 steps instead…
