TR-909 Klon im Browser

Der Musiker und Programmierer Matthew Cieplak hat mit dem ER-99 einen browserbasierten Klon der legendären Roland TR-909 programmiert und das Ding macht kurz ziemlich viel Spaß. Weil es sich so schön wie früher anfühlt.

ER-99 is a web-based instrument 🎛️ based on a famous Japanese drum machine from the 1980s. It was built to celebrate 9/09 day 2022 🎉!

All of the drums are synthesized using the WebAudio API. The hi-hats, crash, and ride cymbals are produced from sampled audio.

The complete source code is available on Github.

Elektromechanische Drum Machine von 1959: Wurlitzer Side Man

Das Wurlitzer Side Man war ab 1959 die erste kommerziell vertriebene Drum Machine der Welt und erzeugte die Klänge damals noch elektromechanisch. Look mum no computer hat sich so eine Kiste besorgt und mal genauer angesehen.

The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company released an early commercially produced drum machine called the Sideman in 1959. It was an “electro-mechanical” drum machine that offered a choice of 12 electronically generated predefined rhythm patterns with variable tempos. The sound source was a series of vacuum tubes which created 10 preset electronic drum sounds. The drum sounds were ‘sequenced’ by a rotating disc with metal contacts across its face, spaced in a certain pattern to generate parts of a particular rhythm. Combinations of these different sets of rhythms and drum sounds created popular rhythmic patterns of the day, e.g. waltzes, fox trots etc.
