The Online
Drum Sequencer allows the user to compose their own drum loop
using sound samples.
A sequencer is an application
that allows the user to create a music performance by organising or sequencing
MIDI performance instructions or audio samples.
I have created a simple
sequencer using Flash 5 and a number of drum kit audio samples.
For this presentation to
work you will need the latest version of the Flash Player that is compatible
with Flash 5 installed on your computer. This is freely available from the Macromedia
web site. Click here
to get it now.
These are the instrument
buttons. Move your mouse over these to hear the sound and click on them
to make extra copies of the samples to drag onto the grid.
These are the instrument
samples. They can be dragged onto the grid. You can also hear their
sound by moving your mouse over each sample. Each instrument sample
has the same colour as its instrument button.
This is a copy
of the instrument sample made by clicking on the instrument button.
Once you have made a copy of a sample you cannot delete it until you
reset the program. However any samples placed on the white space around
the grid will not be played.
This is the grid
any sample placed on here will be played.
Drag the samples
to the grid and use the lines to line them up.
This is the cursor
and in play mode this will trigger the samples.
These buttons are
used to play and stop the sequencer. When the play button is pressed
the cursor will loop until the stop button is pressed.
The reset button
is used to rest the sequencer and will clear the grid and any sample
copies you have made.
