Nice work! I find it funny that I'm in the middle of writing a song player in assembler on the old Commodore 64 :)

Anyway, what I missed in your app was a method to use the keyboard to play the drums. Using the touchpad is too slow.

Thx to another comment's suggestion I've just added numpad support to play it like an mpc. Let me know if that helps !

It was designed mobile first where I find the input to be very fast, but yes, on desk/lap the buttons are way slow.

Sorry, my modern laptop does not have a numpad, not even a pseudo-numpad with the fn-key.

No problem, I've just added input via QWE-ASD-ZXC :)

It's a pwa, so make sure you close every tab and refresh a few times so the changes take effect.
