Happy 808 day HN! As an amateur/bedroom music producer I've always been fascinated with the impact and history of the TR-808. While trying to learn the new Web Audio API I attempted to try and recreate a few of the sounds by referencing the Sound on Sound Synth Secrets series and the block diagrams of the 808 itself. It became addicting and once I had most of the sounds done, I figured recreating the interface/functionality was the next logical step. This is a completely client-side app made with React, Redux, and the Web Audio API where all the sounds are being synthesized by the browser (look mom, no samples!). If anything this was a really intense exercise in learning all of these web technologies and was more fun than I’m personally willing to admit. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I hope you enjoy it! |
