If you don’t own any kind of synth, but harbor fantasies of being a DJ (who doesn’t?) a new site in HTML5 is about to make your dreams a whole lot easier. HTML5 Drum Machine lets you mess around with a bunch of different drum machines in your browser. Sure, it’s just an emulation, but it gives you a pretty okay sense of what it’s like to work with actual equipment. Plus, it’s fun.
This site lets you DJ with five different drum machines in HTML5
The HTML5 Drum Machine lets you choose from five different kits: an acoustic kit, the TR-808, TR-909, the Linndrum, and Elektron’s Machinedrum. You can change the pitch, create 16-step patterns, and save your work for the next time you’re feeling musical. The app even lets you export your finished pattern as a WAV file, so you can make mixtapes to share with your adoring fans.
