Choose sounds and rhythms from the 16 pads and stack them into a loop of 1 to 200 bars. The rhythms you choose stay on the score as they are, so you can add or remove beats later by tapping the cells.
Getting started
- Open itJust open it in the browser. Nothing to install and no account to create.
- Hit the padsThere are 4 rows: Drums, Bass, Chords and Voice & FX. Tapping plays a sound; then you choose a sound and a rhythm and place them on the score.
- Change sounds, add barsTapping a pad lets you choose that role's sound from 15 options (for drums and voice you then also choose a 1-bar rhythm). [+] adds bars, and the same bar can be repeated.
What is on the screen
The screen has 2 parts: the score and the pads. The score is on top; in the overview each cell is 1 bar, and zoomed in it is a grid of 4 rows and cells. Below are the 16 pads, a different color for each row. A needle sweeps across the score from left to right.
What fingers do
You place sounds by choosing a sound and rhythm with a pad, by tapping a cell on the score, or by carrying a pad onto the score and dropping it. Touching a cell flips it, and a long press removes it. There are no clashing sounds, no misses and no game over.
What is inside
- 240 sounds (16 roles x 15 each; every one synthesized by this game itself)
