Show HN: TB-303 Synth, Drum Machine and Sequencer in Web Audio
That is very cool!  Just spent a bit of time playing with it, and while I wouldn&#x27;t say I was a 303&#x2F;808 connoisseur (unlike a friend who is pretty famous for his use of them), sounds pretty good to me; it&#x27;s not perfect (it sounds like the filters aren&#x27;t quite there in terms of extreme settings of resonance and envelope), but it&#x27;s good.  I&#x27;ve not used RB338 for years, so it could be mis-remembering, but it&#x27;s almost like the sounds need controls that &#x27;go to 11&#x27; to get to where you&#x27;d want them to be?<p>I like the simplicity of it and the ease of producing a WAV from a session, and the UI seems to be simple and straightforward to use.  I&#x27;ll test it out on some students this week, see what they come up with.<p>I have a couple of minor criticisms - I don&#x27;t think the ballistics of the rotary controls is right, but I can&#x27;t quite put my finger on -why-, just seems a bit too sensitive or there&#x27;s something about the linearity of it?  Would it be possible to add the Cubase-style &quot;shift reduces the sensitivity while dragging&quot; to them?<p>The other thing was editing the grid - I&#x27;d prefer left click to toggle an event on and off rather than right-click to clear; while this is personal preference, it&#x27;s one that I&#x27;ve got used to using Cubase for 20 years or so in the drum editor, so it&#x27;s a little counter-intuitive to have to do it another way, and I think many other editors are similar?<p>Finally, any chance of an undo in the editor?<p>But overall, love it.  An amazing demonstration of what&#x27;s possible in a browser, and of your skills!
