HTML-108: virtual drum machine

v1.o MVP

Inspired by electronic/techno/house music and the instruments of that era, the HTML-108 virtual drum machine emulates aspects of the seminal Roland TR-808 by offering a (considerably scaled down) web-based version of this rhythm instrument.

The HTML-108 enables people to:

  1. create 4 measure / 16 beat loops with a select group of sounds
  2. save and store their rhythm loops into a collection (if a registered user)
  3. download their loops as audio files.

v2.o aspirational

if my skills and time-constraints allow...

Taking inspiration from the concept of visualizing rhythm cyclically rather than in a typical linear fashion, the HTML-108 — or perhaps the next gen HTML-109? (-_o) — is a playful rhythmic drum machine tool to explore this visual interaction model... enabling people to make 4 measure / 16 beat loops, save rhythm loops into a collection (if a registered user), and the ability to download their loops as audio files.
