How to play

Press START. Pick a beat and a machine from the menus. Click the labels under the keys to choose which drum you are editing, then click the sixteen keys to change the pattern.

Two real panels

The TR-808 and TR-909 each show their own photographed panel; pick one and the window changes. Drag any knob with a red arc. Knobs without one are dead on purpose — TONE and SNAPPY shaped analogue circuits a recording has already baked in.

Try the TR-727

It has no kick, no snare and no hi-hat — it is pure Latin percussion. Load it and the beat still plays: every part falls back to the nearest drum that machine actually has.

What this isn't

The machine menu lists all 443 machines in the library. The four at the top play; the rest are greyed out because their samples are not in this page. The full app plays every one, and exports your loop as WAV or MIDI, which a web page cannot do.
