Step 2: Manipulate the audio using the UI buttons.

Step 3: Sounds will be randomly place in the circle/trigger area. See what you can create

Theme:

The Original idea was a gamified looper that makes the music production process fun. The game's mechanic makes use of the microphone (on the players phone/computer) to record snippets of audio. At first the purpose of the mechanic was to create loops, but after testing with some friends. We learned that the game was not obvious without some direction. Once players understood how to play, many said that they couldn't hear the audio while recording the loop. The audio would only become audible after already being recorded. After much thought we decided to build around this idea by rebranding as a chance sampler. Therefore the bug we built around was randomly inserting "found sounds" into a trigger sequencer to generate rhythms by chance. A few extra features we add were:

1. allowing the player to upload their own songs

2. no monitoring the sound while its being recorded.

Enjoy! and feedback is always welcome!
