Sampulator.com – make and record beats with your keyboard

Awesome! Here's one I made:

I'm really enjoying this. Great set of default samples, it seems to limit the paradox of choice.

I also can't resist sharing mine:

That's cool. Whenever I play with things like this, I always end up just making a mess.

Takes me back to when I was a teenager :)

I gotta share mine as well: http://sampulator.com/melvins_shozin/melody-is-symfony

Initially I wanted to call it "Less is More" since I was mostly deleting notes because they convoluted things. But I was also inspired making this sound snippet by the first melody track on the top, hence Melody is Symfony.

I don't know what you plan to do with it but I just had the perfect hour of my life. No feedback on that part. I also don't know how you could surprise me to keep that level up since the constraints in samples that I needed to take was key for having the perfect hour (also mentioned by skndr as "paradox of choice").

[mettamage]

Can't resist, one more. Apparently a perfect 2nd hour a snippet in another genre.

Absolutely epic... need more samples though :D Here's mine, http://sampulator.com/lemiffe/goat-cheese--crackers

[drakonka]

"Goat Cheese & Crackers" is an epic name.

[vinceguidry]

Very cool!

Here's what I came up with.

Edit: turn the metronome off by clicking on it, that two circles that alternately light up.

I'm loving this, here's my take. http://sampulator.com/cryptojuice/slowjam

First of all, this is awesome!

Maybe my ears are messed up, but I seem to be hearing that the "Keys" sounds are interrupting each other, in a way that none of the other sounds seem to do. That is, if you play two of them simultaneously, only one will be heard. If you play one a fraction behind another the first will be preempted. Normally the "Keys" sounds have a lovely sustain, so this disappoints.

This is on Chrome 47.0.2526.110.

[stevespaced]

Yep, same for the 808's. They are super fat chords and wouldn't work at the same time. I set it up that way to keep everything in tune :)

There goes my day. First attempt: http://sampulator.com/Lazer/test

This is great, only thing missing cowbell. Here's a basic house beat: http://sampulator.com/paulcretu/house

Great way to spend a Sunday morning!

[lusen]

agreed. super fun!

here's what I came up:

http://sampulator.com/lusenrc/saturday-night-2

(turn the metronome off by clicking on the two circles on the right side that alternately light up)

[stevespaced]

soo good ︎

[jbpetersen]

I'd love to see something that's like a combination of this with wavepot.com

[tbabb]

Tried to make a polyrhythm, but not enough time resolution to get it right: http://sampulator.com/tr_babb/chuck-it

:\

[phodo]

very nice. here's mine after 30 minutes of complete immersion.

This is really awesome. The UI and UX are pretty much perfect.

Some suggestions for future features:

- Easier way of doing layering

- Easy way to swap out the instruments would also be cool.

- An open source, self-hostable version would also be nice.

[stevespaced]

thank you. library of instruments is in the works

[derFunk]

@stevespaced playing tunes works fine on my mobile Chrome, I just have to activate "View desktop site" everytime. You should integrate a mobile player :)

[stevespaced]

i will once i'm happy with the UX of producing on mobile :)

Tangentially, is there software which could enable me to make electronic music (preferably on linux) with only a keyboard? Something quite like this website.

[faceyspacey]

this is utterly amazing. whoever the programmer is, holler at me, I'd love to help you make it a collaborative realtime beat-making engine, i.e. so people can contribute to the same song at the same time. I'm sure you've already thought about this. It's about time for a javascript collaborative beat-making engine to take off, especially with midi support on the horizon or here already (i forget).

[jbpetersen]

Not the programmer but collaborative beat making would be absolutely amazing.

[stevespaced]

its me :) @stevespaced on twitter. lots of good stuff in the works

[alexpogosian]

Very nice! Could you add Tap Tempo button?

[volaski]

This is awesome. Good work. I just hope there's some sort of "autotune for beats" feature where I can effortlessly add 4/4 beats of kicks for example.
