I think people are somewhat familiar with pressing the number keys while playing a YouTube video to jump to a timestamp, creating a sampler-type instrument. Well, I wanted to take it to the next step. Inspired by playing around with the Arturia Drumbrute, I built a web-based drum sequencer that uses YouTube videos as input.

32 step sequences, A/B pattern banks, bpm control, save/load pattern functionality, and what I'm most proud of - a page to share your patterns and load in patterns that other people have made.

I'm a musician (https://sweetpablo.bandcamp.com/) and aspiring web developer (https://andrew-boylan.com/) just hoping to get people using this thing before my AWS free trial runs out! Try it out and add your pattern ~

See this page (https://youtubesequencer.com/about) for an example video.

Very neat, at first I was like ohh it’s going to download YouTube videos and get disabled sooner rather than later, but this is super clean with embed links. It’s definitely a neat project

I actually sample a lot of YouTube videos and it’s a cat and mouse game since YouTube keeps disabling it. Eventually I’m going to have to just grab my old phone with a jack and run an aux cord…

Thank you 999900000999. I think sampling from Youtube is super interesting and I wanted to make it easier to do. Curious what you use to sample from Youtube and to hear your music ~

I wrote a small python script that chops the audio from public domain videos into 30 second chunks( you can adjust it).

Since I'm a GUI person I added one. Python is ridiculously good for small tools like this.

Do we have an example sequence we can load? Would be easier to try it, out without giving it much thought.

[eastmountain]

Good point. I added some default video urls and pad commands. You just have to press load video and press play. You can also instantly load anyone else's pattern into the sequencer on the Share Patterns page!

Lovely use of technology! Modern day analogy of old time turntable mixing

had no idea of the numberkey/jump link functionality awesome project as well
