Excellent work !
I saw many random music generators, and this might be the best.
I showed it to a coworker playing in a metal band, he's stunned !
It sounds really good.
I checked the code, it's probably as simple as rewriting the `src\scripts\app\utils\default-instruments.js` file and replace the samples. Presets won't work because they rely on the ID string.
I have like 100GB of samples, it might take a while :)
The key here is to pick chords and pads from the same scale.
I'm bit busy now, but on the weekend I might give it a shot. If I make any progress, you will find it here: https://github.com/tiborsaas/djent
Better, but in my opinion it should be styled as a button not just text.
It doesn't feel like a part of the tool since it appears outside of the initial box.
I understand you put it outside of the box because it loads more boxes below the entire tool, and now that I know about it it makes "sense." But my initial impression is to ignore anything outside of that box.
I think your best bet for brand spanking new users is to place it as a button inside the box in between the "generate rift" and "play" button to make it stand out.
You're literally hiding 80% of this tool from initial users. I clicked "generate" a few times then bounced at first.
Messing around in the settings feels like telling a talented child what to play - it can technically play anything but isn't sure what to go for! http://djen.co/#share/gN3Ao9
Hehe!! I love this. Did you record the samples or did you get them from somewhere? The overall all audio and production quality is actually top-notch, with the exception of clipping the samples on rapid cuts. Great work!
It seems to be based around the classic Meshuggah formula.
Basically, pick an unusual time signature and play the guitars and kick drum in that time signature. The kick drum should always be played at the same time as the guitar note. Then play hats/cymbals/snare at 4/4 over that. Other than that, I think it just randomly selects one of the samples you checked-off at a randomly chosen duration.
It's astonishing how good this sounds. It's even more impressive considering how simple it appears to be. I've tried writing music generating algorithms before, and they all sounded terrible. I suppose the genre helps, as djent is expected to make rapid and somewhat jarring changes, so it fits right in.
Wicked fun and glad to get a chance to test it out. Excellent results with tweaking parameters, at least to my ears. Functional and appealing, well for those into this sort of heavy chug style (djent), which I get a kick out of most of the time. Spiffy!
I love it! The instrument selection is good. It generates some brutal riffs with catchy rhythms. As a guitarist, I think this tool is great for finding inspiration and maybe breaking out of a creativity rut.
Chrome on iOS isn't a from-scratch browser. It's a basic WebView with some Chrome related data syncing. That means Chrome on iOS has more in common with mobile Safari than it does with desktop Chrome.
Any bugs you encounter in mobile Safari are probably present in iOS Chrome as well.
awesome stuff, i love it, also i forked it but cant share the url. google api changed but nothing happens when i hit share riff. where are the files saved? keep up the awesome work!
