A keyboard operated tracker sequencer made with Vue 3 and Elementary Audio.
You can demo the live version HERE, but be aware this is a work in progress: most major features are still missing, and I'm still optimizing the audio engine implementation.
For now, you can click steps, then either click on the "QuantumTracker" logo, or press the 'space' bar to start/stop the audio. There's also a basic slider in place to be able to change the tempo, but a better implementation is on the way.
QuantumTracker was made to create drum sequences with a distinct human feel to them
- musically expressive
- subtly unpredictable
- prone to "happy accidents"
And specifically, to be able to control all of this while keeping your fingers on the computer keyboard at all times, to
- maximize workflow efficiency
- minimize distractions from the creative process
- enhance the musical experience by keeping a tactile approach
- step selection & editing
- volume (+/- dB)
- pocket (+/- % of stepLength)
- note repeat
- probability
- conditionals
- sequence capture
- multi-step editing from user code
- ability to extend the sequence up to 64 steps
- vertical scroll during playback
- highlight on “playhead” line
- step playback from anywhere in the sequence
- rhythmic displacement
- sample "articulation"
- snare & hihat rolls
- custom designed to be complimentary
- varying levels of attitude
- opinionated, yet genre-agnostic
- as one stereo WAV file mixdown
- as four separate stereo WAV files
- as a MIDI file
- tone: eq/filter
- thickness: saturation/compression
- timbre: pitch/formant
