Description

Inspired by the Roland D-10 Synthesizer's drum pattern editor, this app lets you compose rhythm patterns in real-time as well as in step-by-step mode. Use your keyboard as a rich set of drums (the sounds are provided by Windows MIDI), each key has an assigned drum sound to it.

It's still not as awesome as the real thing(due to a slight key latency), but with the app, complex rhythm patterns can easily be written. On the other hand it's more simple because it has a visual editor.

 

Technologies used:

 - Visual Studio 2019 (VB.NET)

 - NAudio API

 

Future development

 

- Track builder

- Adding other instruments

- Maybe add the ability to have WAV files instead of MIDI drums

- Two number boxes aren't completely functional yet

- Online Beat Bay to share and download patterns

This app will soon be available on the Microsoft Store, probably in two versions - free and pro.
