drum-machines-p5.js

About

drum-machines-p5.js is a project by aarón montoya-moraga.

drum-machines-p5.js is a celebration and combination of two of my passions:

• drum machines, electronic instruments to program and create rhytmic sounds.
• p5.js, a software library and community for creative coding.

drum-machines-p5.js is a project started in late 2019, and is done iteratively and slowly.

Drum machines

These are the current drum machines being studied:

• Roland CR-78
• Roland TR-808
• Roland TR-909

Live versions

These are the links for the online versions included on this repository so far:

• Roland TR-808
  • GUI: alpha version, needs finishing touches.
  • User experience: : add interactivity, for desktop and mobile web.
  • Sequencer: add logic for storing data.
  • Sounds: no sounds yet.

Constraints

• The code should be as documented as possible
• Readability over elegance
• Recycle

Design notes

• The design of the GUI should be parameterized.
• Relative values over absolute values

Technical notes

This project uses p5.js v1.0.0, and is a collection of recreations of drum machines

Sound design notes

• Use easy to understand sound sources
• Synthesis over sampling
