ddDrumr - we rock the web

ddDrumr is drum machine application written in html/css/ javascript/jquery. It's developed by the developer community Daladevelop. Originally it was intended to be a contender in the 10k Apart 2011 contest but the fact that it uses audio files meant that the 10k limit was quickly passed.

People

Concept, development and design: Mikael Jorhult, Emil Österlund and Henrik Carlsson.

How do I rock it?

It's basically a step sequencer. If you're not a music geek, what I just said was that the different rows represents different sounds, and the columns different points in time. If a square is clicked(yellow) a sound will play when the timeline moves over it. Thus you can have different rhythms made.

And this SoundCloud-thing, what's that?

Oh that, well, just for fun! SoundCloud is a web service where people upload their music. Kind of like MySpace, except it's great. If you click "Load songs from SoundCloud" ddDrumr will TRY to get a capella songs (songs without instruments) from the BPM range your ddDrumr pattern is currently rocking in. That makes you able to put a human voice on your machine beat. Most often this sounds rather crappy, but we thought, heck it's fun, why not include it? Try it out and experiment!

Browser support?

Every one of course! Yes, we fully expect you to show up here with Internet Explorer 3.5 installed and has taken every possible measure to make it a smooth ride.

Well duh! This little experiment relies on modern techniques so off course you will need a modern browser. Currently up to date versions of Chrome and Safari works best, but other modern browsers (IE9, FF5) will likely work in most cases, though not perfect.
