Make music in your browser

Nowadays you can make music on on your browser – even if you can’t really play real instruments. I have earlier written about Patatap, and here are some new finding on this field:

ACID MACHINE BETA is a in-browser tool (uses HTML5 “magic”) that emulates Roland’s TB-303 bass synthesizer with built-in sequencer. It brings the essence of building a bass, lead and drum sequence to you without the need to install any additional software! (works well on Firefox and Chrome) It allows you to easily make your own ACID house music as the well-known “acid” sound is typically produced by playing a repeating note pattern on the TB-303 (like in this classic track).

According to Make acid house in your browser with Acid Machine article Acid Machine is described by developers Errozero as a “work in progress”, but it’s already working better than a faulty TB-303 found on eBay. As well as featuring two of the famous bass synthesisers, Acid Machine also features a drum machine. Acid Machine is making the dream of writing acid house tracks in the office a reality. Play with it for few minutes and you have some interesting sounding results!

Want some more drum machines?  Emulate four classic drum machines in your browser article tells about HTML 5 Drum Machine Emulator  that that can emulate five different kits: Roland’s iconic TR-808 and TR-909, the Linndrum, Elektron’s Machinedrum and an acoustic drum kit. You can create multiple 16-step patterns, manipulate the pitch and volume of each individual drum sample and even save patterns for the next time you visit the page. Once you’ve laid down your beat, you can even export the whole thing as a WAV file.

Or do you want to try to play with hip hop samples? Turn your computer keyboard into an MPC and recreate hip hop beats from Dilla, Kanye and 9th Wonder  with interactive hip hop sampler Sample Stitch. Sample Stitch  lets you reinterpret, record and even share your creations to Facebook and Twitter.

    WavePad Audio Editor Software is an audio and music editor for Windows and Mac (also available for iOS and Android). It lets users record and/or edit music, voice and other audio recordings. As an editor, users can cut, copy, paste, delete, insert, silence, and auto-trim recordings, then add effects like amplify, normalize, equalize, envelope, reverb, echo, reverse, and more with the help of VST plugin support and a free stock audio library.[2]

    Neural Amp Modeler Is A FREE Amp Modeler Plugin
    https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/03/14/neural-amp-modeler/

    Steven Atkinson released Neural Amp Modeler, a free amp profiler based on the Neural network emulator for guitar amplifiers, available in VST3 and AU plugin formats.

    Guitarists have been eating well in recent years with the advances in tech from audio plugin developers. Amp plugins like TONEX, NeuralDSP’s entire line, and Metallurgy have been personal favorites.

    the science behind lofi music
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeFujF6LdAM

    Have you ever listened to lofi hiphop when you need to study, focus, or relax? Over the past 3 years, lofi stations like ChilledCow/Lofi Girl have grown a community based on that premise. In this video, Sabrina explores why lofi has become the poster child for study music and if it even works. She also tries to teach a machine to generate lofi music and… it wasn’t great.

    “I’m a Barbie girl” again, but in the style of 6 classical composers
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRfsibwR5x4

    On the day of the ”Barbie” film premiere and almost exactly one year after my Barbie Girl Fugue, nothing less could be expected than a follow-up!

    In the same educational spirit as in the previous videos, this video serves as a parodic and slightly critical take on one of the most well-known tunes from the 2000s —even incorporating its somewhat questionable lyrics.

    00:00 Intro
    00:06 In the style of Mozart
    00:49 In the style of Beethoven
    01:33 In the style of Schumann
    02:35 In the style of Schubert
    03:43 In the style of Chopin

    In today’s video me and Dave from Boyinaband take a look at some covers to see if they are better or not than the originals. Most people don’t even know that some of these massive hit songs are covers. We take a look at artists like Adele, Ed Sheeran, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and more!

    The Math Behind Music and Sound Synthesis
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7TesKMSE74

    We hear sound because our ears can detect vibrations in the air, which come from sources like everyday objects, speakers and other people talking. Why do certain musical intervals sound the way they do? How are electronic music instruments made? This video will be all about sound frequencies, wave shapes and the math behind it all.
