As someone who was into making electronic music back before Fruity Loops and Hammerhead—-a time when one coveted actual hardware, but was always searching and dreaming about software drum machines because they were cheaper or free, I always find it amazing that we can do this in the browser. I always love seeing cool projects like this come about.

Hammerhead now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… since my teens. Just googled it and there’s an mobile app! https://ruismaker.com/hammerhead/

Same. My first drum machine was a broken Roland TR-909 that I bought from a pawn shop around '88. I borrowed a bunch of my mother's old records, and was on my way to hip-hop-producer stardom! LOL

I second this and thank you heartily for reminding me of hammerhead. These dreams are very familiar!

Have you ever come across https://audiotool.com ?

It's a free, fully fledged DAW in the browser, they emulate the most iconic Roland devices like the 808, 909 and 303
