Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. The drum machine runs entirely in your browser and makes its sounds on the fly, so there is nothing to download and no plugin to add. Open the page and press play.
- Can I change the tempo while it plays?
- Yes. Adjust the tempo and the loop follows along, so you can speed up or slow down a pattern without stopping. You can also toggle steps on and off while it is playing.
- Why is there no sound the first time?
- Browsers keep audio silent until you interact with the page, which is normal. Pressing play or tapping a step is the interaction that switches the sound on, after which it plays straight away.
- Can I save my beat?
- Your pattern stays while the page is open so you can keep refining it. Because nothing is sent to a server, reloading starts a fresh grid; note down the steps if you want to recreate a loop later.
- Does anything I enter get sent to a server?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser. The names, options, images or beats you put in are handled on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored. Once the page has loaded, it keeps working even if you go offline.
