| Hello HN community! Out of my love for synthesizers and web development, I created a free audio sequencer called draw.audio, which includes selectable scales, waveforms, effects, LFOs, and more. While there are other “tone matrix” style webapps out there, I couldn’t find one that quite scratched the itch for a large grid layout, modern design, and easily accessible modulation controls. So that was the inspiration, alongside my addiction to synths and hardware jam-boxes like the Synthstrom Deluge. Draw.audio uses the Web Audio API without any other frameworks or libraries. I tried to keep it as lightweight as possible. The to-do list includes a tutorial, pattern preset browsing, more audio effects, light visual animations, and open-sourcing it. In case you'd like tips:
• It’s more fun on touch screens, like an iPad.
• It's kid friendly! In my limited testing, kids enjoy drawing on it.
• The share button generates a direct link to anything you create. A big thank you to Sheer Havoc for creating the logo and other graphics! And thank you all for checking it out! I’d love to hear any feedback you have. <3 -Randy (long-time lurker, first time poster, and HN fan from SF) |
I've got vague plans to add generative music to Ambiphone and I've been using Ableton so far but I think this will be a really useful sketchpad for experimenting with sounds and patterns
